Pantherina, in When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

Zero experience = ignore standard Distributions

Fedora Kinoite from ublue.it

So much stability and reliability, while modern packages. Just using Debian or Mint (Ubuntu LTS with an outdated Desktop and opinionated theming) is not a solution for a good experience, as you need updates.

Btw I broke every other Distro before, so I ended up on Fedora Kinoite

Kde plasma if you game

Mint 💯

progandy, (edited ) in Distro for POS

I’m not sure how well maintained it is, but porteus-kiosk might ve a very good fit for this use case…

Psynthesis, in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

Bodhi Linux. Lightweight and beautiful

If I cared about Qubes, Intel would be an instant dealbreaker. Same as it was for Framework.

lemmy_user_838586,

Can you explain a little bit? Which backdoors are you worried about with Qubes?

helenslunch,

I didn’t say anything about backdoors…

Intel mobile chips just blow and have for several years now

taanegl,

Historically speaking, IME has been a low hanging fruit of attack vectors and intel has arguably speaking had worse problems with security vulnerabilities on hardware and firmware levels than say AMD or ARM. A bit anecdotal, but there you are.

Patch,

Star Labs disable IME by default.

taanegl, (edited )

AMD and ARM also have their remote standards, but none as distrusted as IME.

Also, remember that vulnerability where IME could be enabled through the internet by a malicious actor? That was fun…

To be fair, if you’re referring to the “alleged” backdoors in Intel processes, there’s pretty similar stuff going on in the AMD side too. That said, I still totally get not wanting to support Intel since they’re definitely the shadiest of the two, and they’ve been awful value these days.

The Framework 13 AMD is pretty great though, can confirm. It’s all I’ve ever wanted in a decent, repairable laptop.

No I’m just referring to the horrible inefficiency

BlanK0, (edited ) in how do i transfer files via usb c cable from a pixel 6a (grapheneos) to linux mint?

There is a package called android-transfer-file or something like that in the void repos but I’m not sure if its also in the mint repos, might be worth checking, its a gui app that makes it very straightforward to transfer files. Or in last resort you can always git clone the project and use ‘make’ to build manually the app

I love that it isn’t all soft corners everywhere, but the pill-shaped buttons and selections seem out of place. I hope they can be made more square.

Corner roundedness is personal preference in the Appearance page in COSMIC Settings. Similar to interface density.

brax, in Some of y'all need to see this and drop the superiority complex...

Are those just made up numbers by some apple fanboy? How does an OS that’s in pretty much everything not have a larger stake?

It’s kind of baffling to me how so many people on here don’t get the most obvious of joke / satire…

Suoko, in TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism
@Suoko@feddit.it avatar

F**** now I got it! Amazon means from Anarchism to Zyuganovism

HRDS_654, (edited ) in Some of y'all need to see this and drop the superiority complex...

I mean current version really doesn’t mean anything because people aren’t going to upgrade if the version they’re using is fine. I submit that this is a perfect example of correlation != causation. I may have gotten the order wrong on the not equal symbology since I haven’t used it in a while.

Also, are we talking Linux kernal versions? There are so many problems with this comparison.

sir this is a joke post

Steamymoomilk, in Recommendations

Just installing, gentoo or arch and using them teaches you alot about how your system works

RedditRefugeeTom, in When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

I plan to do the same. Since all I do on my PC is play Steam games, I was thinking of going to SteamOS. No idea if that’s even a good idea though.

Fizz,
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Its not advised to install steam os on non steamdeck devices. Pop os, nobara and Garuda I believe come configured for gaming out of the box and are pretty uptodate.

Yerbouti, in What's your current favorite distro that isn't Arch, Debian or Fedora?

Toaster Linux or Nobara.
