Why are there so many down votes. This seems like an interesting thread idea.

Anything that wasn’t installed by default or wasn’t a dependancy. So Nvidia drivers he downloaded from the website, Discord, Spotify, Chrome.

Some of them had .RPM files so that helped

Yeah, package manager. So flat packs are another version of a package manager and a little more

Fedora

Use the package manager! I have a friend that is an amazing programmer he knows computer software well. But he said Linux is a hassle to use because of updates. I was confused then I found out he would download the .tar.gz and install software manually.

Just get used to using the package manager instead of downloading from the websites like on windows. It takes a minute to get used to but life will be much easier.

I really liked shitjustworks but once I found sdf I loved it more both are good though

Good to know

I feel like it would be but I never got it

Spending money on a crowdfunded Linux device.

Fuck you fxtec

It’s as good as any other distro

Why make a peertube client isn’t of partnering with an app the already does peertube?

My only gripe is the default cursor. I hate it

Exactly

Keep to popular distros. I’d personally recommend Pop os or fedora. Opensuse is up there too just never clicked with me when I was a new users.

Stop looking for cheap new stuff. Buy cheap used stuff. I got a high quality Thinkpad T530 for $99. I got a T15 Gen 1 as well but honestly is worse than the T530 even though it’s newer.

My friend got a used computer with a 4th Gen i5 and a 970 for $45. Old but gold. We upgraded the CPU and it runs everything great.

Stop contributing to e-waste and buy used

I was in 8th grade so 13-14 years old right?

It doesn’t though. It’s just different and takes time to learn. Like if a PlayStation only user switched to Xbox or a Mac user switching to windows. It’s different. In my experience Mac isn’t “user friendly” because it does shit different. I took some time to learn it. Now it is

Noo…

Ye kinda. But I’m so happy that it’s gone. A lot people go wild when they see a number they can increase.

I believe it is. Because it started by saying it’s morally correct to pirate Nintendo products. I think shutting down fan projects is very anti-consumer and an abuse of their power. Which makes it morally correct to pirate their shit
