  • If you don’t think it’s worthwhile nobody is making you watch.

    This isn’t worthwhile at all, there are better things to do and more worthwhile things to argue about than a shit post. This doesn’t help anybody.

    I hope you find happiness and success in your life, but taking path’s like these, arguing over something so little for “often decades” with snarky attitudes are the opposite direction towards that.










  • Bazzite is my first true experience with an immutable distro, and wow, what a magical moment it was.

    I’ve been eyeing on fedora 40’s release for some time now because it fixes all the Wayland problems for Nvidia cards. One night my grandma needed some help, so I walked away from my PC, it automatically suspended, came back 30 or so minutes later, and when I logged in I was just automatically on KDE 6 with fedora 40, didn’t even reboot.

    This is truly the year of the Linux desktop.


  • I agree, why put all your eggs in one basket? especially if the better alternative is cheaper.

    If anything happens to your proton account, and you rely completely on their services, you could lose everything you have in your digital life, like 2fa codes, passwords, emails, photos and files, whatever else. Just like if someone in the google ecosystem lost their account, they’d lose their entire life almost. So it doesn’t really make sense to me to pay more money, for a risk as big as that. I mean, convenience? they’re all separate apps anyway. It’s no different than using tuta mail, proton drive, bitwarden, and mullvad VPN. The icons are just different on your home screen.







  • What do you want out of your system?

    There are two more I’d reccomend as its what my family and friends have been using and have ran into literally, zero issues.

    Linux mint (specifically cinnamon edition) is very stable, and customizable if you’re into that sorta thing, you can install custom kernels and get greatly improved performance out of gaming if thats your thing. It’s built off of Ubuntu (but just better) so there’s great support for it, especially with devices such as printers.

    Fedora Kinoite is a solid, also well supported, immutable distribution which will either make your life easier, or more difficult.

    Immutable means you can’t change anything in your root directory, so basically your “C: Drive”. You still have a regular file system and can install all your apps, but the operating system stays the same as everyone else’s and is something that by design, never breaks and “just works”, and is what I personally use.

    Pop_OS is definitely another option if you have “newer” hardware and Linux Mint doesn’t work for you and you don’t like the immutability of Fedora Kinoite (you can always try regular Fedora KDE). But I’d personally reccomend just the first two. But Pop is also built off of Ubuntu, so you still get that great hardware support.

    But please, avoid stock Ubuntu. Ubuntu has far gone away from being a beginner, “just works” distro.

    Hope this helped! Please reply or message me if you have any issues or are confused, or you can always ask for some more help within this community as well!
