    Nobody has mentioned immutables yet?!

    I finally dipped my toes into trying a new distro over the summer and have been really impressed with Project Bluefin. All the familiarity of Gnome for existing Ubuntu or Debian users but with a completely hands off rolling update experience.

    The main drawbacks are the slight complexity of how the fuck to install stuff on an immutable system. In theory you use Homebrew for CLI apps and flatpak for GUI apps but I’m really not a fan of installing from sources other than the original dev.


  • I’m pretty sure a year ago there was a set of users claiming systemd was the worst thing to happen to Linux since snap.

    So why are you advising to change the default install of Debian to include it?

    Every recipe that works for Ubuntu works for Debian,

    May as well just install Ubuntu then.

    For the cutting edge 2% of new stuff, newbies are increasingly better off on Debian.

    Citation needed. Pretty sure this is either personal opinion or anti-canonical, anti-snap ideology.

    Targeting WSL users with this rhetoric is ridiculous. If you want to tailor your own systems outside the norm then sure go ahead but claiming things will be easier for a newbie by running specific commands they don’t have the context or expertise to comprehend is absurd.



  • if you encounter problems just search online or ask AI, it’s fairly simple

    Good luck with that. All the answers are going to assume WSL is using Ubuntu.

    Why do Linux advocates try so desperately to overcomplicate things?

    Can’t you you just be satisfied a Windows using is experimenting with Linux. Why does it have to be your ideological strain of Linux they use.

    You’re probably out of luck. I’ve been trying to avoid amazon for two years but all the other options suck. I’m constantly chasing missing orders and returning items because they’re just not as described.

    Amazon revolutionised the customer experience and apparently nobody else has even bothered to try and mirror their formula.
