More devices need to come with Linux out of the box. It should be possible to buy a device with Linux at your local Walmart.

Be sure to remember to Activate Linux after a motherboard switch!

First full time distro was Manjaro. First exposure to desktop Linux was Ubuntu on a crappy school netbook. Now I use Arch (btw)

Like others have said, the community aspect of Lemmy allows me to follow things I enjoy, not people who may or may not post something I like. Additionally, even a simple algorithm that sorts content based on perceived relevancy makes it so I can see the stuff I want to see first (though someone did point out that that isn’t entirely fair, but the “New” sort does provide that experience).

Even if packages weren’t broken, the fact that they make it easy to use the AUR is problematic because the AUR expects the latest packages from the Arch Repos. Often, AUR packages will break on Manjaro for that reason.

Not true. If you define the circumference in terms of pi, you can define the circumference exactly.

Finally my qt6 apps have a consistent theme!

But please don’t give unsolicited advice about Linux. No one wants that.

What?! You are doing something without a profit motive? That’s impossible. 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Before Chromebooks, my towns school system had netbooks which were pitifully slow on Windows. They installed Ubuntu instead. The netbooks still sucked, but probably sucked a lot less.

Galileo seems to be what they are calling the environment the USB boots to. This environment is moving from the XFCE desktop environment to the different KDE plasma desktop environment. These environments can both be customized, but they are very different under the hood. I imagine that you can still choose XFCE and other desktop environments from the installer.

Not a specific experience but I am more confident about contributing to discussions.

Except instead of the car being old, it is modern and fast.

Probably because it is stupid simple to escape their ecosystem just by sideloading apps. They want to lock you down with their own OS.
