im kind of excited for the used prices of these after a few years, assuming asahi gets running on them. having a reasonably powerful arm laptop would be fun

I always end up coming back to arch specifically because it’s easy to maintain and mostly just works. There’s so little to break and when something breaks it’s always easy to fix

You know, I think if I was in this situation I would just wear the shirt inside out

I usually make src, junk, and applications for appimages and unpackaged binaries

Step 1: Find a new career you are actually capable of doing

Yeah but you kind of need codecs from packman or you’re going to have a bad time if you want like streaming or video calls. Unless more things are included out of the box now?

As someone who uses and likes tumbleweed I don’t know if I would recommend it for inexperienced users. Once you start adding third party repositories for things like video codecs, dependency issues can get really nasty. Zypper will always offer you solutions to resolve them, but if you aren’t careful which one you select you can easily do stuff like accidentally remove your network driver which is a very annoying problem to have

I’m sure you could manage to do a lot of things without a terminal on something like Fedora or Mint, but you really should just learn to use the command line. If you’re expecting it to be anything close to the windows command line it is not, it’s way easier to use and you’ll be able to do things so much faster than you ever could with a gui on windows. Learning everything you really need shouldn’t take more than a couple hours.

The one other option I can think of is ChromeOS Flex, but even there you’re going to have a way better experience if you learn to do things from the command line when appropriate

I have lots of shortcuts bound to it except I never press it because I have the caps lock key mapped to the same keycode and that’s easier to press

Honestly it’s the most problem-free distribution I’ve used. I’ve used fedora, ubuntu, opensuse, and they all are way easier to break and way harder to fix. Once you get arch working it works really reliably and when it occasionally breaks it’s easy to fix. I used nixos for a while, and it is more reliable but it’s just a little too much effort.

You could make the world’s worst computer cluster, that could be fun. I think there are several open source tools for doing clustering

Except this is on the linux community so “third party applications” is every application

(Which you can disable, luckily. I still use the classic layout with the table of emails on top and the selected email below)

I think if we want something like that to be consistent everywhere we need to stop using Ctrl so much as a modifier for non-terminal tasks. It doesn’t solve everything, but using Alt or Super for copy and paste like Haiku and MacOS do is a big step in the right direction. It’s just hard to change an established custom without making the whole experience less consistent

But hey! It’s got AI garbage just like real notepad

And more importantly, shrimp and lobsters aren’t even insects in the first place

Awful name, do not intentionally name your product the exact same thing as a similar but separate product

Honestly the biggest thing is just READ WHAT IS ON THE SCREEN. So many people just refuse to read when the computer is literally telling them exactly how to resolve a problem
