No reason to choose fedora kinoite when aurora and bazzite exist, they just add some nice qol, for example, on stock kinoite ffmpeg has the shit patents that make twitch not work.

The distro's marketing is gaming focused but the truth is there is not anything bad about their overall desktop experience. There is no difference between distros for blender and adobe support.

A lot of people are going to recommend you mint, I honestly think mint is an outdated suggestion for beginners, I think immutability is extremely important for someone who is just starting out, as well as starting on KDE since it’s by far the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 bazzite and other immutables generate a new system for you on update and let 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, lxqt 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.

there is not one thing that is easier about the setup process on mint and since bazzite offers a nvidia image it's actually easier.

Even if they did bite it would still be harmless, tiny teeth, low bite force, no venom, would hardly hurt if it managed to hurt at all.

I think immortal gates of pyre is shaping up to be one!

Oneday somebody is going to write an article like this about a real band.

I'm stupid and read the clock wrong and didn't check even a little.

I have 15 years of experience and do free infinite troubleshooting on matrix, feel free to add me. I recommend you go with aurora, because it is immutable, kde based, and well documented.

immutable means the base system is read only and updates are applied ontop of it, meaning you can easily roll back an update that went bad, and the apps are separate from the core operating system and thus can never break them (unless you try really hard).

kde is a desktop environment, it is most similar to windows and the rate of development dwarfs almost everything else, please whatever you do for your first system use kde.

aurora is a slightly modified fedora and fedora is one of the most commonly used options, the reason not to use base fedora is that aurora includes some QoL features, for example because of issues with patents twitch doesn't work on fedora but does on aurora.

Interestingly it would be right twice a day

I mean to do a little devils advocate here he did say in terms of cost... not in terms of quality.

and quality is as we all know not important for self driving vehicles...

What are you talking about this phone is established, this is their 6th one... and the bootloader is unlocked.

Ihey fixed this, it should be working

It found out who made it so it knew what to do

Not factoring in distros that haven't switched the default like steamos

It will never be possible to use this for ftl communications. This is like saying in 100 years we will use very long steel rods to communicate ftl by pushing on them. The problem is fundamental.

No they didn't, they sent a conventional signal that was encrypted with an entangled particle. Nothing was sent ftl, this is like if I had two boxes that I know have the same thing in them, an encryption key, and traveled across the world, and sent you a message, you have the other box, the information in that box didn't go ftl you just opened it later.

there is no path to ftl communication here.

have a basic video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oBiS_Yb9Ac

Most people do not in fact look at the settings of their computer.

It is very customizable, that does not counter my claim and I never claimed it wasn't, but if you're going to get deep into customization a basic wm or compositor will usually be better, simply because they are modular and hyprland is absurdly feature rich.

i don't know why you're saying I didn't research this, or I was uncivilized, I just gave my counter opinion. You are clearly misunderstanding me or reading into things I did not say.
