ZorinOS. Looks modern, works 96% of the time.

Pls don’t discourage content like this. Lemmy has enough politics and drama. I need stuff like this in my feed or I’m out.

Luckily linux does 95% of the work for you nowadays! Follow a 15 min tutorial on youtube, and pick Zorin or Mint. No configuring drivers, no setting up grub. Modern distros truly are a Penguin blessing. Want software? Open de software center and click install!

It’s not moving to a different city or country lol. Upload what you need to a cloud and put linux on a usb and install. If this takes you longer than a week… Then idk.

Only those apps that aren’t linux compatible is a pain the ass

The reasonable voice in me tells to get my license and a second hand bike for max 3k ish. The unreasonable voice wants a new Triumph Scrambler 400x or a Suzuki Gsx 8s. Scrambler new is 7.5, almost no used models in my country. Gsx 8s can be found used around 8k.

One is a way safer fun 400 cc bike. The other quite bit quicker. Both financial disasters tho lol. Will probably end up on a older bike with less tech.

No not a lot. Was just distro hopping and tried bazzite. When I tried to install something that wans’t in the software centrum it indeed said to try sudo rpm-ostree install. But monkey brain already found it too much. So yeah… My bazzite views probaly aren’t the best lol. Have to give it a better try some day.

True true, still modern linux doesn’t break as easily as u frame it. And is user friendly enough for even non tech ppl. A user would have to go out of their way todo something weird in cli. As long as they are just installing games then not a whole lot can go wrong.

On bazzite if u want to install something that isn’t virtualized like flats, than u would have to dive more into cli. That instead of simply typing sudo apt install.

I like bazzite but the immutable aspect makes downloading some thing even more complicated for a newb. Truly can never go wrong with zorinos or mint

Let it simmer. If I still want to buy it after weeks/months than I buy it.

And here is me starting for a motor license in a few weeks.

My use case isn’t very high way oriented so hopefully i’ll stay whole…

Good tips all around tho :)

Ppl focusing on the negative. It’s just his subjective list. He doesn’t claim to be an expert. Lemmy autism peaking here. More exposure to foss is good guys

Signal, Telegram, SimpleX.

Spin the wheel ladies and gentlemen!

We lemmings are cool enough to do that. The struggle is convincing everyone else🥲

If you like the color green pick linux mint. If you like blue pick zorinOS.

If you really want to use arch as noob pick Garuda.

80% of recommendations will be an Ubuntu/debian child so pick whatever looks good and works. See the first two.

If you really don’t like Ubuntu/deb check out Fedora. If you want a big screen steam mode pick bazzite.
