Ubuntu. It’s working and I don’t have the time to try out other distros.

Emi621,

Wanted to try Ubuntu after using mainly Manjaro but I have only 4gb flash drive and the iso is like 5-6gb so I can’t install it. But so far I’m satisfied with Manjaro Xfce and prefer it to gnu

homesweethomeMrL,

That’s the universe telling you to put an 8GB flash drive on your holiday wish list.

xohshoo,

is it that big because of the snaps? It used to be (well after it breached to 700M CD limit) ~1.5G and AFAIK doesn’t include a lot more default software?

Blaster_M, in What are people daily driving these days?

I daily Windows 11… though I use Ubuntu for servers and Mint for my linux desktops (older hardware that doesn’t W11).

@blotz trying out kubantu for now just swapped from gnome manjaro.

Affinity Designer is the only reason I have a Windows VM. I really wish I could get it fully working on WINE - I have it installed but it can’t save files.

How is it different from Krita? What does it do that isn’t done by FOSS?

cygnus,
@cygnus@lemmy.ca avatar

I wouldn’t compare it to Krita - it’s more like Illustrator (or perhaps Inkscape if looking for a FOSS equivalent, although it isn’t quite up to par in terms of features or workflow).

@s38b35M5@lemmy.world avatar

Okay, thanks. Am just learning about the different art programs available.

@cygnus@lemmy.ca avatar

No problem! I really wish Serif/Affinity would port their suite of apps to Linux. Although it’s proprietary software, their underdog status vs. Adobe would still be a good fit in the ecosystem, I think.

PropaGandalf,

I switched from designer to Inkscape and for me it was perfectly fine.

cygnus, (edited )
@cygnus@lemmy.ca avatar

I’m glad it worked out for you. In my case they are really not comparable, especially when working with text. Inkscape can’t even do bullet points or paragraph spacing.

PropaGandalf,

You are right, text input is by far it’s weakest point. You can’t even make a text bold or in italics like you would normally do.

jcruz, in A Todo App with Caldav and countdown timer support?

Errands app (gtk) has caldav support for tasks.

Debian for a while, now Mint (I’m a Cinnamon freak)

waigl, in PipeWire 1.0 Released For Managing Audio/Video Steams On The Linux Desktop

Pipewire makes me feel like I’m a bit stupid. I keep reading about it, I read the introduction and FAQ on their website, yet I still couldn’t tell you what that thing even does. All I know is it’s a slightly less buggy drop-in replacement for pulseaudio, and pulseaudio is something I use because Firefox forces me to. (I would still be on plain old ALSA if it weren’t for Firefox.)

Also, it definitely did not “just work” for me out of the box, I had to do quite some digging and some very non-obvious stuff to get it to a) start up and b) let me use my microphone. I still don’t even know what “starting up” really means for pipewire (is there a daemon or something?), the website likes to pretend that isn’t a thing, but without doing some stuff to start it up, audio just won’t work for pulseaudio and pipewire applications…

The Arch wiki made installing it very painless for me. Zero problems. Install it, remove PA, activate systemd service.

4am,

btw

threegnomes,

you can install pipewire directly from archinstall now

Holzkohlen,

I hope the garuda linux devs found it as easy as you. Wish they would disable the 5 second standby timer by default, but I’ll manage.

idiocracy, in My first year using Linux: My experience

u can use visual studio code instead of visual studio. about gaming - not that hard using wine+lutris, the future is here, we can install and run exe-s in linux!

Zeko9381,

You probably couldn’t game very much on a macbook. Maybe you could on the more expensive variants with Radeon Pro graphics, but those aren’t your typical gaming GPUs.

ndsvw,
@ndsvw@feddit.de avatar

Yes, I’m using VSCodium, but Visual Studio is of course totally different regarding features.

At the moment, I don’t have the hardware to run games… Will try it out next year…

joyjoy,

The feature difference is artificial due to first party extension licensing restrictions.

russjr08,
@russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net avatar

That’s Visual Studio Code vs VSCodium - I believe OP is referring to Visual Studio, the full blown IDE that’s been out for far longer than VS Code, which does have a completely different feature set.

Astaroth,

At the moment, I don’t have the hardware to run games… Will try it out next year…

There’s plenty of great old games and also newer games that don’t require high specs.

For example indie games like Slay the Spire & Hades

And there’s always Nintendo games like Pokemon that you can play through emulators (Bsnes, Mgba, MelonDS, Dolphin, Citra, Yuzu, etc.)

uis,
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

Try playing Xonotic. It is FPS that runs natively and on dualcore celeron with iGPU it gives 60 fps on ultra and 120 on default. It runs mostly in single thread and you are likely to be GPU-bound.

kool_newt,

If you are trying to avoid MS and liked Atom, there’s also pulsar-edit.dev

const_void, in What are people daily driving these days?

Why is everyone saying “daily drive” all of a sudden?

Thorned_Rose,
@Thorned_Rose@kbin.social avatar

Where is that a new thing? I've been using Linux since early 2010s and people were using that term back then (and it wasn't a new term then either)

Nukken, in What are people daily driving these days?

avidamoeba, (edited ) in New to Linux, have a few questions
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

If you encounter problems you can’t find information on, do Ubuntu LTS next and use askununtu.com, help.ubuntu.com and wiki.ubuntu.com. The existing documentation and the largest community is what makes this the easiest option. Once you gain XP for a couple of years that XP is transferrable to Debian.

kurcatovium, in What are people daily driving these days?

Hannah Montana Linux, the one and only original!

xohshoo,

Rebecca Black here, though now that Wayland is everywhere, should switch

Mint for my daily driver, PopOS for my gaming machine. Happy with both.

GreyFalcon, in What are people daily driving these days?

Manjaro kde on 3 computers in the ham shack, manjaro KDE on the media center, and guess what’s on the two lap tops…you got it…manjaro KDE. Most have windows 10 dual boot on a separate drive. I haven’t spent the time to figure out radio control and antenna switching on Linux so windows is still needed for radio contesting.

I have tried many and keep going back to manjaro, everything just works. The Arch wiki is awesome, and the aur has multiviewer to F1, ready to go.

LeFantome,

Give EndeavourOS a go one of these days and compare it head-to-head with Manjaro. I bet you never look back.

GreyFalcon,

Already tried it a few times. Back to manjaro.

jaykay, in 100% vanilla distribution challenge
@jaykay@lemmy.zip avatar

I like challenges like just like any other person, but aren’t they supposed to be… fun, at least? Of If I wanted to do what you’re describing I’d just go back to Windows or Mac

01adrianrdgz,
@01adrianrdgz@lemmy.world avatar

I enjoy Linux so much that I think vanilla distros are a good experience, for example the main theme of Linux Mint is green, I wouldn’t feel ok with changing the color!! Or for example, Ubuntu is orange, well I will use the OS with orange colors.

authed,

The color is so superficial though
