Satisfactory is pretty amazing. I won’t claim it’s better but that margin is not as big as you’re making it sound.

verdigris,

Because it’s very different? The bar defaulting to the top is the main similarity.

verdigris,

Yes… In the opinion?

verdigris,

I hate finder so much lol

verdigris,

You’re right, a keyboard-driven tiling wm does seem like a better idea.

verdigris,

GNOME settings are not obscured? And if you want more customization you can use tweaks, which, it’s true, don’t have centralized settings, but you have the power – on MacOS you’d be paying $5-10 for every tweak.

My mom is not technical in the slightest and she’s been very happily using a laptop with Fedora Silverblue on it for 4+ years. I’ve had to help her with two problems, one of which didn’t even end up being a Linux problem.

verdigris,

Okay… I don’t agree and I think it’s very objectively obvious that there are huge differences in the UX and design philosophy.

verdigris,

Piracy is a literally victimless crime. Definitely support indie devs if you can afford it, but no one should feel guilty for downloading and running software.

verdigris,

I still don’t see a single actual advantage of W11 over 10. The OS drains more system resources so it’s less performant, and every other “feature” I’ve seen looks like a double edged sword at best, or an anti-feature at worst.

verdigris,

Fedora is a great first distro! I do recommend looking at the GNOME ui, as it’s what Fedora (and vanilla Ubuntu) use; I really like GNOME but it’s not for everyone as it’s pretty opinionated and innovative. Linux Mint is another popular choice for newcomers, it uses a very simple UI that will be very familiar to any Windows user.

verdigris,

They’re not, they’re opposing a process that leads to garbage output and horrible systemic efficiency.

verdigris,

Out of the billions of dollars that Alphabet extracts from harvesting your data and selling it to advertisers?

verdigris,

Stuff should be free. We live in an age where every one of us could be living a life of comfort and reasonable luxury with a modicum of work. In the meantime those of us who aren’t being showered by the excesses of capitalism are fully entitled to stand in the splashes.

How is the mobile app terrible? I’ve been using it for years with no issues, and it has many extensions that chrome on Android doesn’t allow like adblocking.

The tabs in FF are great, for years now FF has been much better at handing huge accounts of passive tabs, and there are tons of extensions to provide any functionality you could want.

I guarantee you if you just install a few extensions that you like and use it for a week you won’t even notice any more.

verdigris,

I literally don’t know what people who say this mean. It looks totally modern, almost identical to the chrome and edge UIs, it’s fully customizable, and there are thousands of extensions to alter the appearance in a single click, not to mention custom css styling if you want complete control.

verdigris,

The mobile app is great.

Spend their money that they hoard?

Art should not be produced for profit, because it stops being art. Ideally we would subsidize artists, or better yet provide for everyone’s needs and let them make art in their free time. Forcing us to watch corporate propaganda about fucking dishwasher detergent ain’t it.

verdigris,

I imagine society will collapse from climate change before Google runs out of cash.

verdigris,

Well then great… But also that’s nonsensical.

verdigris,

Every device with extra swappable batteries that I’ve used has a charging station that you can just keep the extra battery in. Not really anything to “manage”, it just effectively removes charging time from the equation.

verdigris,

I would replace Manjaro with Garuda in your recs, Manjaro will lead a new user into several thorn patches (way too easy to install from the AUR mostly, but the package update delay is also a pain with little justification)

verdigris,

Personally I think a new user will actually have an easier time with Arch, because when they inevitably do need to look up help, it’s much easier to find relevant forum posts (not to mention the excellent wiki) for Arch then openSUSE. Their documentation is good, don’t get me wrong, but they have a far smaller community. I also found the package ecosystem more confusing than most – the package manager is very powerful, but at the cost of intuitive functioning.

verdigris,

Did you try googling Manjaro community donation scandal because it’s pretty easy to find… Here’s the first of many articles I found linuxreviews.org/Manjaro_Linux_Lead_Developer_In_…

Garuda does everything Manjaro does but better.
