Uhhh....

Wine sometimes gains performace over windows though, so why do you care?

The only things that don't work at this point have actual malware as a mandatory requirement

I recommend trying out zim, I love it!

Make sure to not to choose steam gaming mode when you download it, it makes it a console like experience!

my matrix account is on my profile

I honestly think mint is an outdated suggestion for beginners, I think immutability is extremely important for someone who is just starting out, as well as starting on KDE since it’s by far the most developed DE that isn’t gnome and their… design decisions are unfortunate for people coming from windows.

I don’t think we should be recommending mint to beginners anymore, if mint makes an immutable, up to date KDE distro, that’ll change, but until then, I think bazzite is objectively a better starting place for beginners.

The mere fact that it generates a new system for you on update and lets you switch between and rollback automatically is enough for me to say it’s better, but it also has more up to date software, and tons of guides (fedora is one of the most popular distros, and bazzite is essentially identical except with some QoL upgrades).

How common is the story of “I was new to linux and completely broke it”? that’s not a good user experience for someone who’s just starting, it’s intimidating, scary, and I just don’t think it’s the best in the modern era. There’s something to be said about learning from these mistakes, but bazzite essentially makes these mistakes impossible.

Furthermore because of the way bazzite works, package management is completely graphical and requires essentially no intervention on the users part, flathub and immutability pair excellently for this reason.

Cinnamon (the default mint environment) doesn’t and won’t support HDR, the security/performance improvements from wayland, mixed refresh rate displays, mixed DPI displays, fractional scaling, and many other things for a very very long time if at all. I don’t understand the usecase for cinnamon tbh, xfce is great if you need performance but don’t want to make major sacrifices, lmde is great if you need A LOT of performance, cinnamon isn’t particularly performant and just a strictly worse version of kde in my eyes from the perspective of a beginner, anyway.

I have 15 years of linux experience and am willing to infinitely troubleshoot if you add me on matrix.

Yes, I do have questions, why?

why do you care about those games so much when 90% (actually more I think) work perfectly and the few that don't fail because they have malware?

next step is nixos! holy fuck transitioning from arch to nixos was hell, i did like 10 years of arch.

This, proton and an app I need for work are all that's left before I can trash xwayland... can't wait!

Bees are not the only native pollinators, though, plenty are extinct

MoE

honeybees are an invasive species, fun fact

unfortunately they outcompeted a lot of the native pollinators so we're fucked without them though

I've never died, I posit that I am the very first immortal human, there is no evidence to the contrary.

ah, i was already a ~120wpm typist on qwerty when i switched to dvorak, so, that might have something to do with it.

I don't have this experience, I am briefly confused for a second and then it's fine, are you sure this lasts more than like 30 seconds?
