mfw when entire distros are advertising UI features of gnome that came standard on every DE like 15+ years ago, including gnome.

Seriously, Compiz is from 2006.

Would have been funnier if the guys shooting him had a diverse cast like the US Army, The Taliban, and some Chinese Assassin, instead of some generic dessert dudes with guns.

Use a VM and play with different DEs

Fedora is a good base and comes with most DEs as spins so you don’t have to swap live.

Choose the one you like the most.

Personally, XFCE for all around customization amd performance, KDE for out of box solid functionality (and wayland if you care).

Once you feel comfortable, then go ahead and install or dual boot.

Silverblue is okay but kinda overrated because Flatpaks are not a silver bullet and will break or have basic FS dependency issues. Plus, it’s not a great intro to Linux experience because you can’t shoot yourself in the foot easily most tutorials on Linux will be for a regular system.

As for the distros themselves:

spoilerArch: Bleeding edge and you want to actually suffer every time you boot. Manjaro: Arch but supposed to work out of box. Debian: The King of stability at the cost of slower package updates Fedora: Cutting edge and works out of box unlike Arch Ubuntu: Useless Canonical distro that is heavily dated Pop! OS and ElementaryOS: user friendly downstream of Ubuntu that suffer the same issues as Ubuntu. Linux Mint: Ubuntu if it was actually good except it’s still a downstream so still has aforementioned Ubuntu issues. Gentoo: You want something completely custom Slackware: You want a classic Unix like machine but with Linux RHEL/CentOS/Rocky/Oracle/Etc: Enterprise Linux (server usage and desktop usage) OpenSUSE: The RPM equivalent of Arch & Debian (comes in rolling and stable releases). So you can choose bleeding edge or stability.

Personally, I have stuck with Fedora for a long time. Debian or OpenSUSE would be second choice. Arch only if I’m forced to like the steam deck lol.

Also ArchWiki is your friend. Even if you’re on any other distro, it has a wealth of the latest information and tutorials for whatever you want or need.

akmod and dkms to the rescue so you can watch as your kernel fights with the hardware in real time

mlg, to asklemmy in What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t read unless you remember what burning a CD was or if you want a viable answer

spoilerA self curated mp3/opus folder with everything sorted into sub-folders, and a playlist folder that you can mess with on the fly I’m still surprised all my music fits < 1GB by a large margin. Less than 2GB if you include full video game sound tracks. If I ever want to add anything, I usually use ytp-dlp and download from whatever source (usually youtube). Everything autosyncs to any of my devices with syncthing, which incidentally is also useful for photos. But tbf this doesn’t introduce you to new stuff. That I just do by random chance by watching yt videos and crap. YT Music is just as bad and will loop the same 3 songs if you let it.

mlg, to piracy in Streaming Pirates Are Hollywood’s New Villains - Illegal subscription services that steal films or TV shows bring in $2 billion a year in ads and subscriber fees.
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

Remember when they found out the dudes behind piratebay were like 3-5 hacktivist friends who made it in their free time lol?

Also what illegal subscriptions. Do they really think people pirate content for it to be sold and not shared?

mlg, to asklemmy in How Many Streaming Services Do You Have?

Yeah no

Netplan and the default systemd network dependency can screw off

Doesn’t even come with ufw enabled

Everyone here forgetting that this makes it dense and not fluffy otherwise we’d have put literally everything conceivable into a waffle iron.
