My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

sic_semper_tyrannis,

I’ve been using Mint for about two years and it games okay and also feels outdated. I built a gaming computer for a friend recently and put Bazzite on it and it runs games great and just works great as a whole

sic_semper_tyrannis,

BleachBit is a must have and PhotoGIMP is pretty neat.

sic_semper_tyrannis,

I don’t know personally as I don’t have a FW13. I would like one. I just have experience with the other stuff. Look on the FW forums, it’s quite active.

sic_semper_tyrannis,

Maybe the Framework 13. I’d suggest an AMD APU. Something with the 7840U/HS or the 8840U/HS. It’s iGPU is very potent. Use the Bazzite OS and OnlyOffice with Microsoft fonts installed is a fantastic MS Office alternative.

sic_semper_tyrannis,

That would be great

sic_semper_tyrannis,

Thanks!

Vimm’s Lair? I just checked and the site is up

sic_semper_tyrannis,

That’s horrible

sic_semper_tyrannis,

Mint feels dated to me after using KDE Plasma 6 (which is now my favorite)

Looking for some Android apps

Having used iOS my entire life, the switch to GrapheneOS will be a big change. I have learned over the past year about Android, GrapheneOS, and apps to use. I managed to find most of the apps I was looking for, but there are some I struggled with. I had trouble finding privacy respecting, open source apps for the following...

sic_semper_tyrannis,

For movie streaming if you have subscriptions to the big names you can use Kodi and still login to your streaming service.

It’s also unethical that they steal your data and keep upping prices and injecting ads so it’s equally ethical to stream pirated content via Kodi

sic_semper_tyrannis,

I like RetroMusic

sic_semper_tyrannis,

I also enjoy Lemuroid but having a dedicated DMG with physical buttons beats a touchscreen. Watch and read articles from RetroGameCorps on how to setup these devices. For something simple I have been enjoying my Miyoo Mini + with MinUI.

sic_semper_tyrannis,

I’ve been using it for around a year and am really happy with the program.

Building a brand new machine and leaving Windows for good

I’m sick of Windows, and especially what it’s become, and the way its trending looks like it will only get worse. I’ll be building a brand new PC this summer and want to choose a Linux Distro instead. In preparation, I’d like to try out a virtual machine with a Linux distribution. I am solidly familiar with Ubuntu, but I...

sic_semper_tyrannis,

I recently built an AMD based gaming computer with Bazzite and it works fantastically. I have found that atomic distros from Fedora just work, and Bazzite makes gaming super simple

sic_semper_tyrannis,

I find most people don’t know of the alternatives but they are open to change as they are unhappy with current options that they are aware of. I’ve talked with a few people that were surprisingly open to to trying Linux. They didn’t know how easy it is to use and install but jumped on the opportunity as they were unhappy with Windows.

sic_semper_tyrannis,

My Epson printer registered as two different printers with slightly different names but only one selection works to actually print. Have you looked into that?

sic_semper_tyrannis,

Pretty

PS. I’ve been using Mint for around 2yrs but after recently messing around with Fedora Kinoite and Bazzite both with Plasma it really shows how dated Mint is. Fedora with Plasma is sooo modern and filled with great features.

sic_semper_tyrannis,

Disroot matches your requirements minus the additional criteria.

sic_semper_tyrannis,

I haven’t used many high end keyboards but Keychron’s are soooo smooth and satisfying. Their linear switch makes me like linear when I haven’t in the past
