and i hate it so fucking much

so good that i actually get more fps than i did so on windows

i’d assumed, you’ve asked for yourself in the first place, so i answered in kind to my assumption.

i’m more of a bash fan tbh. Ever since i started using linux, python started to irritate me

to be fair, out of those three, jq invokes the least existential dread in me

god bless the old world, i’m yet to see chromeos in person

based

commands for your distro’s package manager is a must i think. If you’re a basic user with basic needs, i don’t really thik you need anithing beside that.

there is such a thing as Postmarket OS. Don’t know how well it flies, but it’s a linux for smartphones

try out zoxide

all migrate to kakoune now! >:3

Well, i mean, if mint works for you, its perfect! My suggestions come from my personal experience, demands and regrets, so be ware that they might not suit you, though i believe that one should try everything.

Welcome aboard! I did same like a year before, and it’s been a blast!

If you were me from the past, I would’ve definitely recommended you to try out tiling WMs (Guess AwesomeWM is a good start) ASAP! I can’t stress enough how good they’re, especially if you prefer using keyboard shorcuts over mouse navigation.

Also, if you’ll find linux mint problematic, I want to suggest you to try out EndeavourOS (i wish i would’ve done it sooner myself). It’s installation is as simple, but it’s based on arch, and arch has one of the most comprehensive wikis, which allows you to troubleshoot basically any problem. Also. newer software versions get there faster, and finally AURs, that will allow you to forget about manual software installation at all.

sounds like an unnecessary overcomplication tbh

it’s either you’re too paranoid about the attacks, or i’m too careless

guess, you sould’ve kept your joke a bit simpler, stupider even :D

That’s why i said “arch-based” not “arch”. I don’t know about manjaro actually, lots of people on the internet complained how broken it is (or rather was broken, idk), so i decided not to try it. But i’ve tried and am currently running EndeavourOS. The installation process is as easy as the one of Ubuntu, while OS remains stable, despite me using AURs and manually compiled packages. AURs are far more friendly compared to PPAs. Not to mention the fact that i wasn’t always able to find the package i needed among PPAs, and manual compilation often did not work due to Ubuntu’s update model.

I don’t quite understand, what do you mean by “KISS is not available via pacman”, so please, elaborate. To me pacman is as simple to use as apt.

Also, didn’t know SteamOS is already available for public, good to know. Gonna try it some day.

what are the usecases for snaps and flatpaks in the home desktop environment anyway? What are their benefits? Isolation?

for me it’s snaps and the release model that suck. Also, apparently, arch-based distros are more noob-friendly, thanks to ArchWiki

c-can you come over to m-me? Linux is my OS already, but I’ll wipe the ssd just for y-you… >///<
