“prank” a vim user. You mean make it normal?

still, cool nonetheless

There is Element or Matrix or whatever the fuck that shit is called. Supposedly a better discord but the UI is so fucking bad and confusing it makes no sense.

I guess revolt and guilded are the next best options? But I am not sure how they work on Linux

Yeah TMP, my CPU doesn’t have it, and I’m not going to get a new motherboard and CPU just for a shittier Windows experience.

I think the largest extent I went with messing around was using a Locale Emulator for a Japanese game, never had to do more than run the exe.

On Linux it’s a bit of a “will it run under proton?” type game, but I’m not really thaaaaaaat bothered by it. Also fuck invasive anticheats, only shit games use it anyway.

Oh yeah 100%, I’ve used Krita before on windows and it’s enough to cover most of my use cases, also it’s by the KDE community, which I adore <3

Right so I haven’t switched just yet, I’m waiting on Win10 EOL because there is still stuff I use that is windows only (Adobe suite [ I fucking hate gimp ] and some games)

However, I did look into distro stability, and what apps are avalabile. Everything else I use IS either Linux native or runs great on Linux.

Inevitably, when I switch, I will miss Photoshop and not having to tinker with making games work

The insane requirements of Win11 (and the added Ai features) are definitely factors for me to switch to Linux

If this option wasn’t on by default, I wouldn’t even know about it lol

I don’t like generative AI in my tools. The little prompt that explains a command and arguments that can be passed as you type is nice, I will give it that, but AI should not be any part of it. Fuck right off with it.

Thanka for the encouragement on Arch XD

Since I am in the same boat as you pretty much, I want to see what makes a computer tick under Linux, I think I’ll try arch as my first bare metal distro and see how often I can manage to break it. If it’s too much I’ll switch to atomic fedora.

Here’s my feedback on the post:

If you would have posted this anywhere else, I wouldn’t have read it. People keep making posts that link to other blogs and personally I don’t like leaving website just to go read something (but that is manly because I use Lemmy on my phone)

As for the content, really nice write-up. I’ve been debating whether I should go for Arch or atomic fedora, and this article shined more light in the world of atomicity

thank you, I think I’ll install a atomic distro as my first distro now. I like the fact that it’s hard to break but still gives the full Linux experience

I have never used a image based distro in my life, but there is one thing I understand but don’t really understand at the same time.

Can I or can I not install stuff from the terminal? Like exa, zsh and so on…

Like what everyone says is “Use Flatpak” but that doesn’t cover terminal use at all, so I’m left confused.

Konsole is goated, legit really good.

Second to it would be Kitty in my opinion

This is why windows is better, it doesn’t suffer from stormy weather. Puny Linux users and their weather based OS

I’m not trying to steal hollyberry’s job here but here is my understanding of snaps (and why they aren’t good).

Snaps were created by Canonical (The company behind Ubuntu) to fix the issue of inconsistent dependencies. The problem with the format is that the market is proprietary and they just aren’t very good. Also they perform somewhat worse than Appimages and Flatpak.

Personally I reccomend you look into Flatpak, as it’s a better sandboxing format than snap is.

Also the reason you ended up with the SNAP version of steam is because Ubuntu prioritizes the snap version over the native version when using

apt install steam 

HAHAHAHA GOOD LUCK! I’m in my final year of my EE study and I cannot wait to escape this mental asylum
