I find cinnamon kind of useless

It just has this beige win 7 look, that is somehow both new and old at the same time. You dont have the Macros and Costumisation of Plasma, but you also dont have the rigidness and tablet-style interface of Gnome. You dont have the ressource friendlyness of xfce. The only thing it has is that it can both render qt and gtk in its own style, but xfce already does that with its very win xp like interface, which both qt and gtk have themes for

That sounds way more reasonable

That cant be true

I remember dual booting Ubuntu, I was on a Win insider build, and the button must have appeared around 2023

Not that the blockchain itself is a Bad idea, but after like a year or 2 of becoming popular it will be impossible for anyone to have a locally stored coin because they will be just multiple petabytes big

If you are not the Parent, the kid has going to have a hard time with Linux if you arent availible 24/7 for them to ask. Linux takes some getting used to, and if not even the Parents know anything about it, they are not going to be able to lock down Linux enough

Ok, let me rephrase this:

Your kid is too young to understand the concept of a mouse, but they arent young enough to not use Tiktok, a Social media known for killing even young adults attention time. And for some reason they are thought how to use a PC? To a 5-7 year old?

That aside, I recommend using literally Any OS and just making a guest user excluded from the sudoers file. To install new Apps, just use flatpak at user level, and for roblox theres Sober

If you like hyprland, use it. Just dont prompte it. Dont talk about it. Dont even mention it

This.

You cant decide about your instance? Well how the fuck did you decide to use reddit then instead of all the other forum based Websites then?

Could you tell me where I said you should just contribute yourself? My grep dosent seem to find it.

I said ‘don’t complain about things people are making in their free time for you to enjoy.’

Yes, exactly

Like, take his 10 year old Video of sticking in aß many Keyboards as possible

He somehow knew all the standards, could troubleshoot it all and still just seemed very competent

With the Linux video, I think he’s like trying to behave like a new user? (Like please tell me who the fuck would be a new user and not go to the forum once there’s a problem, but instead use this terminal and ignore all warnings?)

But even then, like, he knows his channel is not directed towards very tech incompetent people he is trying to emulate. But instead of just doing it like he himself would use Linux, he still put up this costume of ignorance and pretended like this is hard to do. But if you even had the slightest experience with the terminal, even cmd, you will instantly see for how dumb he is taking you by „Trying to emulate his viewership”. And even if you don’t want to make a positive video about Linux, just talk about how office dosent work on it, or how kernel level anti cheat is bad

But instead he is still making videos about trying some very special shit no one would ever do (like install arch as a beginner, install SteamOS even tho there’s Chimera and Bazzite, etc) failing at this very special thing, and then talking about it like this is the Linux experience.

Like, for real, I will bet my nudes that this decade he will try to install Gentoo, say that its the Linux experience, fail badly, and say that Linux is bad.

But its true

No one is paying these people to contribute to Linux. If someone would bring you donuts every day for free, you wouldn’t start barrading them with comments about how he comes late sometimes.

And if you want that bug to be fixed, pay a software engineer to fix it, out of your own pocket. If they then dont do it, then you can start talking about them being late.

Be grateful for all these people making your computer more than a brick.

Also, it’s defiantly a glaring issue if installing steam means uninstalling your whole DE.

Can you explain to me how the fuck that even happened?

And 2. Could it have been prevented by him actually following the installation guide and rehashing the bloody image?

Linus and Linux is a rare view behind the curtain

There have been some accusations about him being a sociopath by Louis Rossmann and others, so it might just be that CIA money flowing into his pocket thats preventing him from rational thought

Also, isn’t he a fucking IT guy? How did he even manage to build that many PCs and make all those videos about tech topics when he can’t even read a red coloured warning and having to type in a very suspicious message?

Does it work on Windows?

Because it could just as well be a shitty solder job

Also next time never say you use Linux to a support tech. They will blame it all on linux, whether the pc is broken in half or covered in rat piss, it will always be you who broke it by using unsupported software.

Because I wrote this while in class.

Im sorry, I just saw a downvote and thoughts this was another post just ranting and not wanting help

You should probably try Gamescope. I had the same issue many times with GNOME, so using a seperate renderer would at least solve wether the Problem is with the DE or the PC itself

Also, if you dont use proton as the runner you should have a seperate wine directory with vcredist installed for every game, since wine dosent like having more than 1 thing per directory.

Also try installing lutris and steam through flatpak, that way they are system independent too

Then probably your Pc was too new

Id always recommend using Opensuse anyway

And how did your Games not run? Did you even try to look them up on Protondb?

edit: Oh, I get it. Anyways, how much is Microsoft/the CIA paying you for this?

Until now I have used Ubuntu, Mint, both Opensuses, Arch, Endeavour, Fedora, Manjaro, and Gentoo

And not a single time did I have any problem installing any of these

Also, if youre new to linux and encounter a problem, you should first consult the forum of your Distro. Those people can actually help you find out the problem youre having and Open a bug report or expand the Wiki with your edgecase and the appropiate way to solve it. But going all Heuli Heuli on everyone instead of actually submitting bug reports is the most unproduktive and childish way to solve the problem you (and probably a few more people in the future and past) have had.

• Use a DIY distro made for containers
• Cry about having do DIY

Merkste selber

That’s the problem

Why do I need someone on Lemmy to tell me this when they have a whole 10 or so page website that could just as well detail this instead of the usual „Hey, your keyboard works on this distro”?
