☂️-

these decades you mean

desktop environments are a way more important point of contact for newbies.

the distro just has to have googleable tutorials and be reasonably bug free.

can’t rely so much on us controlled tech.

look for screenshots of the distros you see here and choose the interface that interests you the best. or look up which one they use. i’m serious.

licensing that easily allows oligarchs to take the work and not contribute a single cent or line of code.

the pushover licensing of ruat coreutils is a worrying development too.

vmware’s mere existance is dumb to me when better foss alternatives have already existed for years.

hey, it also makes the bubble inflate!

gas guzzlers?

“profit”

I installed it and had it working as expected within 20 minutes.

then what is the problem? one solution didn’t work, you tried another and it did?

isn’t that exactly how people troubleshoot windows problems? and that tends to happen more often when you are new to it.

funny how i never have to deal with “package managers”. i just turn my computer on and use it?

if you want the same proficiency you have on an OS you’ve been using for 30 years, you will have to acquire experience with it too.

make the investment or deal with windows, choice is yours.

helping children as well.

this is cool tech but please don’t create the torment nexus maybe?

mission failed successfully

this means they are getting found before someone else can abuse it. linux is getting more secure soon.

manjaro had a lot of issues with stuff as basic as their certificate.

i wouldn’t trust them over endeavour or cachy and i’ve personally had a good experience on both of these.

that sounds like a drag. have you tried a firmware update?

those usually help with getting ram to play nice.

ubuntu ships it by default iirc. it’s pretty mainstream alright.

unless you a running a livepatch setup, you should always reboot after a kernel update.

or an nvidia driver update, but that’s an exception.
