Arch feels more like windows because I like keeping everything up to date, cachyos because I dont want to spend an hour finding the gaming packaged and I like the preinstalled apps + de options. Plus aur is great just need to add flathub support real quick and its great.
Lot of bootloader options too, I like limine since its clean and easy to swap lernels, also one click to setup btrfs snapshots after install which also show up in limine with no extra setup.
Don’t use best coding practices, do not make readable code following good naming/formatting standards, have it only make sense for you in the moment and require weeks to debug even by you
if lemmy got popular overnight, wed prob get invite only instances where the requirement is having a lemmy account past a certain age
slop and shitposting is fine as long as it isn’t the majority of the content, sadly shitpost memes seem to be becoming the majority
Is english your second language? (man was clearly joking, you seem to believe he really thinks it “sold out”)
damn could usbs be used as disposable os, i guess thats why tails is used that way, since its bad for the usb to use it that way, they are getting pretty cheap for the fast ones, idk why youd need a dispoable os you could lose at any second tho, maybe if it was very connected to a cloud service
I went through the hassle of dualbooting and accessing my drive through linux (not that much hassle but as a beginner it was), ended up uninstalling windows, but i had time to tinker, which is key to making me like it, I was okay with not having a usable pc and I learned what I needed/wanted as substitutes. If you don’t have time experiment on a side device or using an ssd, they are fairly cheap now, you could even use a cheap fast usb if you don’t mind it shitting the bed eventually.
bro just grab a cheap ssd and enclosure, install linux on that, slowly play around and setitup, if you like it eventually swap ssds or install it on your main one
I like the aur, only reason i stayed on cachyos instead of trying bazzite, def won’t find everything as a flatpak.
I did swap to bazaar as the appstore, its on aur, works very well, the search actually works, like if i search fps, all the fps games show up, doesn’t work anywhere else for me. And the background downloads, plus download progress manager you could view is nice, bothered me it wasn’t a thing. Would love something like bazaar for the aur, but that’d prob be a chore to mantain compared to flathub that already has icons and images.
I love every package being on the aur or flathub, its so convenient compared to the windows way of discovering and installing software.
While everything just works, I did have to switch to lts kernel because of freezing, this freezing also occured on endeavour and mint tho.
plus the plasma de in the usb immediately made me feel like i wanted to swap to linux just playing with it
It was the easiest experience I had installing and setting up different des/bootloaders to test out as a newcomer to linux. It has hella options. The wiki is also really nice and easy to use. And gaming wise, the useful part is all the packages it installs that i didn’t know about and the documentation on the wiki related to it.
I finally opened blender last year instead of just having it downloaded for years and im having more fun than ever, glad i did it while i had free time tho, it took like a month just to not panic attack from the ui
I just want them to support flatpaks or some other linux apps, android desktop/dex is pretty nice to use now, get window support pretty decentlly, totally useable as a pc substitue for yourr average person, just reliant on apks.
This would be a serperate interface when plugged into an interface like a monitor or by manually enterring the seperate mode like how dex works rnow
could just let only lemmy.zip and piefed.zip through and avoid the issues still
cachyos, post install click install gaming packages, in steam goto compotability switch it to proton cachyos, done, there is no struggle, it grabs heroic and lutris too for non steam stuff
