Phones? Nope.

IOT? Can’t even run on modern laptops right.

maybe that could be because people do a small project then get bored and doesn’t apply to something like kernels?

enjoy. it can be frustrating until you get the hang of it, but once you do there’s no going back.

these decades you mean

desktop environments are a way more important point of contact for newbies.

the distro just has to have googleable tutorials and be reasonably bug free.

look for screenshots of the distros you see here and choose the interface that interests you the best. or look up which one they use. i’m serious.

licensing that easily allows oligarchs to take the work and not contribute a single cent or line of code.

the pushover licensing of rust coreutils is a worrying development too.

I installed it and had it working as expected within 20 minutes.

then what is the problem? one solution didn’t work, you tried another and it did?

isn’t that exactly how people troubleshoot windows problems? and that tends to happen more often when you are new to it.

funny how i never have to deal with “package managers”. i just turn my computer on and use it?

if you want the same proficiency you have on an OS you’ve been using for 30 years, you will have to acquire experience with it too.

make the investment or deal with windows, choice is yours.

this means they are getting found before someone else can abuse it. linux is getting more secure soon.

manjaro had a lot of issues with stuff as basic as their certificate.

i wouldn’t trust them over endeavour or cachy and i’ve personally had a good experience on both of these.

that sounds like a drag. have you tried a firmware update?

those usually help with getting ram to play nice.

ubuntu ships it by default iirc. it’s pretty mainstream alright.

unless you a running a livepatch setup, you should always reboot after a kernel update.

or an nvidia driver update, but that’s an exception.

i don’t really trust this

FUCK microsoft, btw

tbf they announced they would be bringing it to linux. hell is chilly cold autumn day atm.

inb4 the machine stops updating and op gets a big virus

yall kept fearmongering this and i prepared for this damn update and it was literally just clicking update and waiting for the docker container to update.
