I think the best course would be to tell him something along the lines of “I’m sorry these games didn’t work out well for you and the experience didn’t turn out to be good for you, there’s still the option to dual-boot or try a different distro if you want but I understand if you don’t. Just know that these issues aren’t specifically because of Linux but rather poor support from the game’s devs, or more likely their publishers, games (about 90% of them) work fine through steam or Lutris unless the devs implement anti-cheats without linux compatibility so hopefully in the future if you happen to play more steam games you’d consider giving Linux another chance.” nonetheless I’d still say he should go on windows, find out that his games will likely still run like shit on there on his own and if he complains about it maybe bring up Linux again, gently and appropriately of course.

I love your arts. Know what’d be cool? some propaganda posters from the FOSS war. In fact the FOSS movement in general needs more cool ass posters

Thanks for letting me know this exists

I don’t intend to be a developer. I do code a few things sometimes but that’s not the life path I’m oriented towards. That said you bring some good points. I am starting to believe NixOS may not be suitable for my uses sometimes, tho I did fix the SDDM issue, even though it involved changing my configuration in a way I didn’t find intuitive. I’m still evaluating what to do. Maybe is 24.05 proves to fix my issues and stays out of my way I’ll stay.

I should try matrix tbf yeah, just didn’t like having to use yet another platform that’s why I went to what I already have to use.

I heard of Slackware, it never really convinced me personally but it seems cool and is the oldest one.

I heard of it, I don’t think it’s for me I don’t wanna have to deal with drivers and firmware stuff. I know nothing about lisp

Yeah the thing is I’m not the most rtfm or read the patch notes type guy. When I used Arch I just went balls-to-the-wall yolo but updated weekly. Updating less frequently seems like more of an hassle.

I don’t trust corporations in general, mainly I don’t want Red Hat (or any other corpo) to suddenly destroy my distro or do something I don’t agree with. I still remember the whole debacle some months ago. If it wasn’t for that I’d definitely give Fedora a shot but the fact they’re sponsored by RH (and their upstream) makes me question how independent they are from RH and how at risk they are from being taken over by RH.

As for use-case I think any distro can in some way fulfill my computing necessities and has most if not all the programs I need available in some way afaik, it’s mostly a matter of technicalities and other stuff that is fairly important to me personally but maybe not too relevant for most

You bring on some interesting points and I will definitely read your comments. Thank you.

EuroNutellaMan, 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

I mean, after reading all your comments my position on Fedora has moderated, but in a comment you said they are financially dependent on RH. Now sure, right now RH doesn’t stand to gain from taking/screwing over Fedora and right now they don’t seem to want to but who’s to say one day they won’t try to? I don’t trust corporations for many reasons so having a distro that, while independent in the development decisions, is financially dependent on a corporation doesn’t sit too right for me. Sure maybe they will never do it but hey I’d rather avoid the off-chance it happens if there’s alternatives.

I will check it out in a VM alongside the others though.

Hello, creator

impressive

I’m sure you can have a good experience on it just like you can have a good experience on Windows, etc. But first of all if we are recommending stuff then either Arch & derivates shouldn’t be recommended at all if it’s a newbie or one should recommend straight up Arch (if it’s not a newbie and needs Arch) and frankly if you want Arch made easy either going to OpenSUSE tumbleweed if the issue is stability or EndeavourOS/Arco if it’s the installation will probably net someone a better experience, so what’s the point of Manjaro anyways, and secondly none of that invalidates the bad practices by the manjaro team

I do use my OS but I also like to play with it, that’s one beauty of Linux: you can set it up and forget about it till the end of times or you can spend days tinkering with it if it provides you joy.

please for the love of god do not use Manjaro and if you do forget about using the AUR, Manjaro claims to be more stable by waiting 1 week before adding Arch’s packages to their repo, this breaks the AUR packages you use which may need newer dependencies. They also often forgot to renew the security certificates of their website.

Arco is better but frankly all being Arch distros the differences are close to none.

I mean I don’t use nor ever plan on using BSD systems and disagree with their philosophy quite a bit but I think them dying is overall bad for the open source community.

Windows is non-consensualBSD

EuroNutellaMan, 24 days ago

Yeah but I found it doesn’t work properly on lutris sometimes compared to just running it through steam with Proton experimental. Don’t know why that is though.
