BolexForSoup, to linux
BolexForSoup avatar

Looking to dip my toes into Linux for the first time. I have a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro with pretty solid specs collecting dust right now that I think I’m going to use. Research so far has indicated to me that the two best options for me are likely Mint or Elementary OS. Does anyone have any insight? Also open to other OS’s. I would consider myself decently tech savvy but I am not a programmer or anything. Comfortable dipping into the terminal when the need arises and all that.

theshatterstone54,

try Arch or even Gentoo

Time to go install Gentoo!

theshatterstone54,

I’ve done LFS and it was really boring. Apparently with Gentoo you learn more.

theshatterstone54,

Challenge more like

theshatterstone54,

Well, I’m doing it for the learning process, and armed with a Ryzen 5 4500U, time and patience (and the knowledge that a kernel takes 40 mins to compile on LFS when on Virtualbox using half my cores), I think I’ll be alright.

theshatterstone54,

Thanks. To be honest, wirh LFS you just follow the book. The only thing you really learn is how to unpack tar archives, and the fact that it takes super long to compile software.

    I would like to second the Simple Mobile Tools suite, as well as AntennaPod and Liftoff (although I now use Infinity for Lemmy)

    theshatterstone54,

    I also like NitroShare.

    theshatterstone54,

    I’m so happy to see River getting some love, Hyprland is cool, but River is cool too, and it deserves more love.

    theshatterstone54,

    For attachbelow, it’s a configuration option. For taskbar, I dont know. I don’t use minimise, but it might be available (the options are at the manual pages for riverctl and rivertile). What do you mean by stack of tiled windows?
