I dunno what that means. I gave what I felt like a very simple take and this person started to argue with me, not the other way around.

You did say simple…

If it has a apt package, it’s as easy as “sudo apt install xyz”

This is the kind of ignorant shit that relegates Linux to nerd circles. What do you do with this information? What is xyz, and exactly xyz because if you get a single letter wrong it does not work. Further the user has to already know what they want, which a new user will not.

Apart from Steam not being a standard installed item, it is very feature full.

I’ve just given you several examples of how it’s not.

For 32 bit you also need to enable multi-arch.

Just making my point for me now.

You wrote it was mostly for servers

No I wrote that’s it’s more commonly used in servers.

I don’t think you really understand the implications.

I don’t think you do.

Debian is probably Thee most supported distro with the most packages available.

I’m not talking about availability. I’m talking about comes pre-installed so the user doesn’t have to go out and find them to use basic functionality.

Debian is also among the absolute best among Linux desktop options, and actually quite popular.

I did not say it was not great or popular.

There’s a reason Debian is still the most forked distro.

This is not the dunk you think it is…

no fractional scaling? thats a DE/WM feature not distro related

Lots of distros these days come out of the box with that pre-configured, so no, it’s not.

only includes default apps? you mean following the DE’s developer’s vision?

Yes.

Older drivers won’t support newer hardware. Only includes default apps from gnome and KDE. No DE tweaks to speak of. No performance optimizations. No Gear Lever. No fractional scaling implemented, etc. etc.

Debian is more like AOSP. It’s a starting point. Super bare. More commonly used in servers and such.

Interesting, I’ve never seen or heard of that before…

I have a e14 Thinkpad…with 8gb soldered ram

so I put a 16gb stick in

What?

Have you tried looking for the driver for your wireless card?

unless you have the web page pulled up and are looking at it, it will show you as Away instead of Available.

Mine always says away. It’s none of your business where I am or what I’m doing. Send me a message and I’ll get back to you at my earliest availability.

But there is also a Teams for Linux app on Flathub that might solve that problem.

Most workplaces have switched to the cloud model. Google workspace, MS Teams (or w/e they call their work ecosystem?), Salesforce, etc. Pretty much everything these days runs in the browser. And fortunately almost all browsers run on Linux.

That being said, yes, they may provide hardware, and expect you to use it, and they probably wouldn’t allow for you to modify it.

The process is the same, even if the file paths are different. Being different does not make it inferior, or any less “ubiquitous” or “feasible”.

Windows users seem to want to just buy, have, and use a computer

That’s just not how I would describe Windows. It’s more like a digital bilboard with spyware that also runs programs. It actively prevents you from just using “your” computer.

You mod games on Linux the same way you mod them on Windows.

Yeah I used it. It’s not nearly as versatile.
