I am probably an anomaly here but I had a really bad experience with linux on an amd card. The card would not output at all whenever there was something linux related going on I could not fix the issue and it did not matter which distro I tried. Windows worked totally fine, the bios worked fine. I switched to my backup nvidia card and all of a sudden linux was working a treat.

1. fun, I like trying out new software
2. I love the philosophy of free software.
3. fuck Microsoft and windows.
4. It’s actually just better

(I switched last year)

Hang in you mean Ubuntu touch right? There’s no such thing as Ubuntu touch?

Vim!

If you really don’t want to then try kwrite for something more simple or kate for a full IDE. There both developed by kde and been around for a while.

Same here.

This is kinda how I feel about gnome too. I haven’t really gave it a full proper try but it’s just so hard to do any kind of customization that I just kind of gave up and switched to kde.

This is pretty cool, the fact that you can run android apps on Waydroid is awesome. I might try POST-marketos on an old s9 I have lying around.

Thanks, I updated my post.

Meanwhile kde:

They might not make much money from windows but it’s still a very important point of control. If they control the os then they can control what’s pre-installed. They can control what office suit, cloud service, ai slop, spyware to use before any other conpetitor has a chance to advertise.

SAMETIME, a mostly apple comedy/news channel has a really good three video series of trying Linux as an absolute beginner. He tries asahi linux back when it was in very early development and of course most things just didn’t work. He then tried ubuntu which ended up with heaps of errors and he had a pretty bad experience still. Then he tried linux mint and ended up being pretty happy with it. this is him trying mint

No one hates endeavouros yet it makes arch Linux easy to use. I don’t see why endevouros isn’t the better choice over manjaro.

Are physical keyboards like that really even faster? I would just buy a split 40% keyboard and out one in each of my pockets before I would do this tbh.

Yes we would still prefer Linux. Windows is just a single object without any modularity. With Linux by itself is of course just a barebones kernal waiting to be added to. You can choose which gnu libraries to use you can chose which package manager to use you can chose which desktop environment to use (or ommit it entirely.) Windows doesn’t have that option.

As well since the source code for linux has been open for over 30 years people know how it works, it would take ages for people to study windows and actually figure out how to do anything with it.

That guide is so awesome! Thanks for showing me.

I don’t think there is really too much difference either. Mainly the package manager is the main difference I guess. There are a lot of other differences but if you don’t really care about it then it doesn’t really matter.

The desktop environment makes a much bigger difference than the distro.

Dude! plasma big screen is exactly what I was looking for. I hope it is available for public use reasonably soon. In the meantime does steam big picture work for other apps like jellyfin?

Sorry, I don’t get the joke?

If you want to set-up disk encryption you should probably understand that while the server is booted up as far as I know there will be no disk encryption leaving it completely available for anyone to take data from

Although most people entering your house would probably unplug the laptop and open it at there own home the data could still be valuable if it stays powered up with battery power.

Thanks for the peertube link.
