If you know what you’re getting into, arch can be a great experience, I’d say give it a try!

Or I can just be a blind consoomer and learn what’s the most popular

But why split the ultrawide into virtual monitors when you can just buy 3 monitors for less money than an ultrawide

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve never gotten the point of ultrawide. It’s bigger and more expensive than 3 monitors, yet can fit as much as 1… Because yk, you can only have 1 fullscreen window per monitor.

Yeah, I’m triple monitor all the way.

I’ve played the Sims on Linux before and haven’t had such severe issues with origin…

Because it’s a pain and can brick your graphics driver…

Pro tip: NEVER try setting up ROCM/hip directly on hardware. AMD provides a docker container with it already setup.

I’d say that if you want a stable, “just works” experience, try fedora. It’s the only distro I’ve had truly 0 issues or complications with…

Think of linux as desktop android… That’s probably the best advice I can give you. Depending on which distro you choose, they’ll have different app stores. GNOME Software for some, discover (yes, that’s the name of the program) for others, Pop!Shop for Pop!OS. As for managing apps - avoid installing snaps. Other than that, don’t worry about it.

Pretty much all cloud providers are supported on linux, most of them just don’t have bespoke apps and get added directly to your file manager. Some distros have a step during the initial setup, where you can log into accounts and what not, which should setup stuff like OneDrive automatically. And if not, i don’t think setting them up manually is too hard.

Do not install/uninstall stuff from the terminal. Most self-respecting user friendly distros have an app store which does all the things for you. Installing things from the terminal/the internet should be a last resort, only if the thing you want to install is not available anywhere else.

As for my distro recommendations… try Fedora KDE or Linux Mint.

Coming from someone who’s clearly never used Arch… It is anything but stable, that’s kinda the whole point.

Moths, especially the big ones… idk, they are just insanely terrifying to me. I know they cannot hurt me, I know they are harmless, they terrify the life out of me

Don’t we already have polkit and pkexec for that?

Yes, it is all Unix (feddit.nl)

Alt text: meme with the ‘Always has been’ formatLinux, MacOS, OpenBSD and ChromeOS logos on top of the Earth The first astronaut says ‘Wait, it’s all Unix?’ A Windows logo, on top of the second astronaut. The second astronaut says ‘Always has been’ and points a gun to the first astronaut.

No, it’s not unix. None of the systems in the meme are actually unix.

Linux is unix-like, made initially by 1 guy who just so happened to base it around another unix-like OS and has quite literally nothing to do with unix

BSD has no original AT&T unix code and while it does work in similar ways, it is still not unix

Windows is windows… The closest thing it has ever gotten to unix is the Windows Services for UNIX, which literally only existed so that M$ could claim POSIX compliance and get a lot of government money…

spoilerI sound like a fcking loser omg

it’s the never ending cycle, we struggle getting wifi to work and then laugh at windows users trying to get windows to work

I feel like my joke went over a lot of people’s heads

Hey Battery, are you OK? You've been saying 0% for 15 min now. (lemmy.world)

Running a Gigabyte U4UD, been having battery problems for months now, and the battery health only reports 50% capacity. Started playing Battlefront and got distracted and saw my battery looks like this now. Been doing this for 15 min, so either my battery is magical… or the Clevo design is flawed. Seeing how long she goes for...

Except, that older versions of desktop environments tend to be less stable…

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

No, stable for me means “it’s not buggy and broken”

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, and that’s exactly the reason why I’d never recommend debian for a desktop

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, I get it being broken for the release candidate on gentoo… But it still being broken in the same way on 6.0.4 on alpine… That’s gotta be one hell of an imagination

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

On gentoo, no, but I forgot to mention in the post that the issue is plasma 6 exclusive, as I have both it and hyprland installed and screensharing works fine on hyprland, so idk.
