Installs mint. Connects to wifi at work. Prompted with a window that wants me to specify certificate versions or whatever. No clue about what any of it means and never get to connect. Uninstalled and back to Windows. Mint so easy to use /s đ
Yeh and apparently Lemmy folks down votes legit bad experiences with gnu/Linux. If you think the user is the problem here, this community seriously have a problem if thet want gnu/Linux to be mainstream.
People here really do need to realize how little the average user is willing to tinker and troubleshoot. Not to mention the software availability. Saying âitâs soooo easy to switch overâ is just blatantly false, even now. The vast, vast majority of gamers play games with incompatible anti-cheat. Those people will likely not stop playing the games they want to because of moral values or Foss whateverâs. Same with software. Sure, krita or gimp are easy as hell to pick up, but if youâve lived your whole life with Photoshop, and have no problem other than the usual adobe bullshit, youâre not gonna switch to an is with zero possibility of supporting that app any time soon.
I canât offer a solution to fix linuxâs issues, but there needs to be a community willing to answer the most basic questions honestly.
itâs under an hour long so I can watch more than one like this during my lunch break. Itâs the long form content over an hour long that I have to avoid because itâs usually just vods which severely bore me.
For a home user with recent hardware in my opinion the system to beat is openSUSE Tumbleweed. It is a stable and rolling distribution, that is, it has the best of both worlds.
I have used some distros by now and I do love mint. But a few years back every major upgrade of mint lead to bugs and me reinstalling my system. So far the only Distro i tried that just keeps working is MX Linux on my old laptop.
Because I want to get rid of windows I installed Nobara. I love to play games. I works pretty good, but since only one guy ist maintaining it, it should be not considered a daily driver.
I am still not happy because it dont want to switch between distros for gaming and working.

Nobara is just a Fedora remix. Iâve used another remix a bunch of years ago and converting that to a regular Fedora installation after its maintainer left was just removing that addon repo and letting dnf handle the rest. I think I only needed to switch to Fedoraâs branding packages.
God dammit, the entire point of calling it CSAM is to distinguish photographic evidence of child rape from made-up images that make people feel icky.
If you want them treated the same, legally - go nuts. Have that argument. But stop treating the two as the same thing, and fucking up clear discussion of the worst thing on the internet.
You canât generate assault. It is impossible to abuse children who do not exist.
Did nobody in this comment section read the video at all?
The only case mentioned by this video is a case where highschool students distributed (counterfeit) sexually explicit images of their classmates which had been generated by an AI model.
I donât know if it meets the definition of CSAM because the events depicted in the images are fictional, but the subjects are real.
These children do exist, some have doubtlessly been traumatized by this. This crime has victims.
Iâve used Linux for over two decades (red hat to Gentoo to Ubuntu to arch) and I must say itâll be a tough sell to get me back to an RPM or a debian based distro solely due to how god awfully slow the package managers (dpkg and rpm) are.
Since Docker came along and brought with it the ride of Alpine and APK, it made me realize that system upgrades on a modern processor, fast internet, and an SSD should take seconds, not minutes.
Just claim sovereign immunity, bing boom, so simple. (I have no idea what the consequences of that owuld be, or what the legal outcome would look like.)
It was my first distro I liked it at the time, but after they killed of the KDE Edition I tried out Manjaro and the rolling release with up to date software just fits my use case much better.
Iâve been using Mint for a few months now after initially trying Fedora and Kubuntu. Mint has been by far my favorite experience and Iâve even gotten a few people converted to Linux via Mint. Definitely my recommendation for any Linux newbies.
I donât use it myself, but itâs been my main recommendation for newbies for years for that reason. No complaints yet, even from the less tech-literate.
I run a small business, but Iâm also Iâm an embedded systems developer on ARM processors for my products. Our toolchain is Windows-specific. That and the Adobe suite which I also need for my business keep my primary work machine Windows.
My laptop is Linux but even that creates occasional hassles with my work flow and presentations.
