I mean you get unlock Linux terminal and application access on Chromebooks. I have installed GIMP and Krita on Chromebooks for students that were in art classes.
Does it kind of suck? Yeah.

Neon is great, but don’t use it for mission critical stuff. I’ve had updates brick my system before because it’s bleeding edge for KDE.


Mint is my go-to for when I want something to get work done and don’t want to fuck with it. Biggest gripe is the networking menu in Cinnamon kind of sucks for VLANs and it’s still on X11 until they finish making Wayland stable.


Well the Steam Frame is mostly going to be a streaming headset from a gaming PC with the possibility of running things local, so you’re going to need a gaming PC to run things like HL: Alyx.


Uh…what was that about a snuggle session? LOL.
Also, people kick out others for being on Quest? Why not just launch VR Chat via SteamLink to your Quest? You can launch all SteamVR games via SteamLink to the Quest headset. I have a Quest 2 and use it for pretty much only streaming from my PC over WiFi from my Linux PC.
Glad they optimized it. Last time I tried it the RAM usage was atrocious.
I mean GNOME is…fine. I don’t use it, because if I wanted something that chewed up 3-5GB of RAM I’d just run Windows, but if you like GNOME, you do you.
This is Linux. It’s all about choice. Run what you like. It’s your goddamn computer. And that’s what we all love together.
Anything with Cinnamon Desktop or KDE Plasma is going to be the most ‘Windows-like’ in how the UI works.
If they’re coming from Windows, but they prefer macOS-like interfaces, GNOME or COSMIC fit that bill.
It doesn’t matter what distro you select, for the most part, as Linux is Linux. The only differences are immutable or not, desktop environment, and package management type, for the most part.
That said, Mint, an Ubuntu flavor, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE…all good options.



Year of the Linux desktop!
I think I developed a brain bleed reading this
The fuck is a glorp YouTuber?
Pretty sure everybody is missing the joke. The joke is that Debian packages are so stable and stale that you likely will need a reboot before an update.
Also, it’s a joke…please patch your boxes, k?
Maximum chonk


Pretty sure this is a joke


Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS. The packages aren’t THAT out of date. Most people don’t give a shit if they’re running the bleeding edge of kernels or what version of mesa is installed. If it works with their hardware, they’re good.


Until Plebbit fixes how god awful slow it is, I won’t be interested in it. Lemmy is decentralized enough for me.
Lol you know it is.
I’m curious… What problems are you referring to?
XWayland is the compatibility layer in Wayland to run X11 applications within Wayland. I’ve never had an issue with it on any application that still used X11 and it’s pre-installed, so you don’t have to do anything, if you’re running Wayland.
Luckily there is no way to install it either.
