Sanyanov,

The Christian edition seems like not 100% joke

Sanyanov,

I know, author provided the links :)

Sanyanov,

And that’s how you introduce family to Linux

Sanyanov, (edited )

Truly daemonic of you

Sanyanov,

DD/YY/MM is the devil incarnate

Sanyanov,

Funny that only in full Chinese (or Japanese, since 令和 represents a new emperor era in Japan?) I noticed the month is December.

It’s 22nd of November, folks

Sanyanov,

There’s a NewPipe fork that includes Sponsorblock and dislikes, just a heads up

github.com/gilbsgilbs/NewPipeSponsorBlock

Sanyanov,

Nope, but that’s the point

You can import your subscriptions though

Sanyanov,

I see, that’s valid

NewPipe was built precisely with the purpose of avoiding that, so it goes directly against your use case.

Sanyanov,

Now do it from Linux and you have an ultimate no-BS experience

Sanyanov,

On the second point: pick whatever you like, distros are surprisingly similar and differ in technical details you might not even care about.

Oh, and don’t go for Gentoo. Gentoo is great and has its place, but person with a healthy brain won’t run this on desktop.

Sanyanov, (edited )

Yeah, distro variety is a block for adoption, but when you do adopt Linux, you understand why they’re there.

Good thing community starts to center on a few distros for beginners, particularly Linux Mint + 1 or 2 more. (I’m a Manjaro adept, but ready to bury the hatchet to welcome newbies, and always do recommend Mint - it is good too)

Sanyanov,

Congrats! One more person opened their eyes to freedom!

When you come to Linux, you never want back.

Sanyanov,

That’s the best TLDR you could give at the end.

Generally UI and feeling are “Windows, but without BS”

Sanyanov,

Yes.

Sanyanov,

Use DE and edit files with graphical editors like a normal human being.

Problem solved.

Sanyanov,

(But also, nano for the win)

Sanyanov,

devilishly smiles in rdp

Sanyanov,

Manjaro KDE (default) makes Arch a wonderful starting point. Beautiful (gold standard of KDE implementation), truly blazing fast (thanks, Arch), incredibly Windows-like, and unlike Arch itself, completely plug-and-play.

Their update withholding schedule, while causing anger among some Arch enthusiasts, is what makes the system super stable and completely effortless to maintain, while remaining close to the bleeding edge.

The only thing newbies should be taught is that AUR should be used with caution due to potential (rare) dependency version conflicts; luckily, Manjaro repos have just about everything you can think of and AUR is almost entirely unnecessary.

Sanyanov,

Debian remains the king of “something stable that works well”. And with release of Debian 12 that brought a lot of quality-of-life improvements, easier non-free package managing etc, many users go for it on their desktops. So I suggest you do too.

Sanyanov,

Sure! I just don’t expect people who just came from Windows/MacOS to get into that. I’m talking “just works” here. Later on, they’ll be able to develop that understanding too, but to each its time.

Sanyanov, (edited )

Duuuumb ways to di-i-ie Soooo maaaany dumb ways to die

Sanyanov,

This is a golden take. We seriously need to communicate it to the Left.

Sanyanov,

He was just like: Nice dick bro, gonna give my life for it

Sanyanov,

Use NewPipe for YouTube on mobile, works like a charm with YouTube vids. Beware: it’s not account-based, so you can’t comment and it won’t synchronize subscriptions automatically (but you can import them from YouTube)
