This has to be one of the most brain dead comments I’ve read about Linux…. ever.

What do you mean by window positioning?

That was the joke yes.

They look angry.

Yeah there’s literally only a few other programs that might prevent users from moving over now. I can only think of two suites, Office 365 and any sort of photogrammetry software.

If you’re going to be doing development, CachyOS is aimed exactly at your use case:

• gaming
• with development
• on nvidia gpu

It has worked fantastically for me. I tried bazzite as well, but put my wife on it rather than use an immutable distro.

Who dat?

The tizen version is finally close to release. I don’t use a Samsung TV but in-laws do and I don’t like installing the dev version.

If you aren’t interested in more parts of Linux or computers then you are likely not going to be reading this community. For example you made the comment, but you also state you have a home lab. So you’re at least partially interested in more.

Then by definition you are not in that category. You’re interested in more. So you both are interested in more and are in this community.

If you’re in that category you’re probably not in this community.

He didn’t. He wanted to use x11. You are completely incapable of reading. My analogy makes more sense because it’s describing what he did.

Since copy on highlight is default you literally just have to accidentally drag your mouse cursor in a terminal window and boom, you’ve copied empty text. It’s incredibly annoying.

he got hardware that worked with the default setup for the majority of linux DEs at the time… he literally followed your suggestion and has been waiting for support for it in wayland for a decade.

this has to be the dumbest argument I’ve seen in a few months on here. you’re literally telling someone to sell their car because you want them to switch to a different kind of engine that currently isn’t compatible with their car, even though they haven’t wanted to switch to a new engine for a decade.

agreed. and middle click being paste has to be one of the stupidest defaults. I understand people use it, and whatever, everyone has their own workflow, but now middle click to drag doesn’t work and you’ve confused everyone since now it’s different everywhere.

it isn’t if you’ve copied from an empty field by accident, or if your clipboard is empty.

I mean I know how to choose a distro and there’s no way in hell I’d ever use that chart to choose one. In addition I don’t really need to ask my wife because I can guarantee she wouldn’t read a single line of it.

It’s not a hypothesis that the reason people don’t switch to Linux is because it’s too difficult for the layperson. If you give them a flowchart that’s larger than any flowchart they’ve ever seen before, before they even touch the operating system, there’s no way in hell they’re gonna use Linux.

Huh? A new user is going to have trouble understanding the base difference between gnome and kde. Flooding them with information about the history of all these operating systems will do nothing except to scare them off even more.

For a new person it’s useless. For anyone distro surfing why wouldn’t you just use distro Watch?

Six months ago??? People were saying to use mint back then too, like every thread. I understand it’s completely based on your hardware but you can understand how it’s hard to trust anyone saying mint right? On the other hand CachyOS and Garuda both work really hard to make sure every hardware config works properly.
