Gnomes are fun in a mischievous way, but don’t let them fool you they do have very sharp teeth!

    I agree with your message of freedom, but please space out your text so it isn’t just a big wall. And don’t recommend distros like Guix, Hyperbola or Parabola to beginners, please…

    If you’re a beginner and your hardware supports Linux-Libre, use Trisquel.

    And I agree with your message of spacing out text

    I’ve only been using Linux seriously for the last couple of years.

    The way I see it, Linux is a kernel AND drivers, GNU is code that can be compiled to build a toolset used to daily-drive the kernel and a distribution is a assembly of kernel, drivers, tools and software (apps).

    I’m sure that’s wrong but it makes sense to me.

    Most drivers are part of the kernel, so yeah.

    GNU is code that can be compiled to build a toolset used to daily-drive the kernel

    No idea what that is supposed to mean. GNU is a set of specific software made by the Free Software Foundation, see www.gnu.org/manual/blurbs

    Newb here: what’s the diff?

    I don’t use arch BTW

    Hominine, (edited )
    @Hominine@lemmy.world avatar

    From my limited understanding it’s based on Debian instead of Ubuntu (which is based on Debian). The purpose is to have a fallback in the event Canonical snaps Ubuntu out of existence.

    shotgun_crab,

    Good pun, even if unintended

    I tried Mint. It wasn’t that great. While I dont use Ubuntu specifically, I love Gnome

    EatYouWell,

    The Cinnamon desktop is pretty awesome, though, but you can just install it on another Debian district.

    Octopus1348,

    I also used it, and liked it, then Plasma, made it look like Windows 12 (looked like a combination of Windows and macOS), but I’m now on GNOME again. I might use something else in the future tough.

    BaardFigur,

    KDE Plasma is still really unintuitive and weird to use. Maybe they’ll get better eventually, but meanwhile I’m on Gnome

    Octopus1348,

    What are your problems exactly? For me, it was that GNOME was more stable and had some trackoad gestures. And on Plasma, something just felt small. I tried changing the text size, but it was still harder to read.

    bastion,

    Gnome stability, hands down.

    My ideal OS: all of KDE’s features locked behind ‘advanced’ menus.

    Acts in every other way (including stability) like Gnome.

    I really want to like KDE. It just feels so much like the unnecessary is put to the front, rather than provided as a side feature.

    @EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world avatar

    Weird I always have the opposite feeling with KDE: everything is big. Mostly the icons and bar at the bottom. However tbf it might be because I am used to Xfce4 and only recently went back to KDE

    BaardFigur, (edited )

    You also had to do every configuration on every screen and toolbar individually.
    For a multi-screen setup. Yikes

    NaoPb,

    I like Trinity because it looks like old Windows environment :)

    BaardFigur, (edited )

    I tried them all (all Mint DEs)

    Good you did a thorough test, what distro did you end up choosing?

    BaardFigur,

    Fedora. I don’t know if I’ll stay there forever though

    BeigeAgenda,
    @BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

    Well there’s always Arch 😁

    BaardFigur,

    My brother says so as well. Maybe I should listen

    BeigeAgenda,
    @BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

    I’m sure Arch and Manjaro are worth a try, back in the day I tried RedHat/SuSE/Slackware/Debian/Ubuntu and ended up with Mint Cinnamon.

    The closest to Arch I tried was using Debian Sid, but got annoyed when I one time had to battle with getting it up and running after a dist upgrade. I really hope Arch handles those upgrades better.

    The most annoying with that upgrade was that the UI changed to an early version of Gnome Shell, I think that prompted me to switch to Mint MATE

    I like the joke from the '89 movie, Mario Mario and Luigi Mario, Mario is the last name.

    ArcaneSlime,

    My mistake, always think '89. Idk why.I love Jon Luigizamo though.
