First full time distro was Manjaro. First exposure to desktop Linux was Ubuntu on a crappy school netbook. Now I use Arch (btw)
Even if packages weren’t broken, the fact that they make it easy to use the AUR is problematic because the AUR expects the latest packages from the Arch Repos. Often, AUR packages will break on Manjaro for that reason.
Finally my qt6 apps have a consistent theme!
An “industry standard” that Google seems to have complete control over. Sound like another failed Google messaging app.
Arch might actually be a great start if you had prior experience in Linux and want to learn more about it. For example, if you are in computer science and you are doing systems programming you probably have used Linux at the command line, Arch might be a great way to continue working on similar projects.
Before Chromebooks, my towns school system had netbooks which were pitifully slow on Windows. They installed Ubuntu instead. The netbooks still sucked, but probably sucked a lot less.
Don’t like these either, but it’s a nice break from being on my feet all day.
Galileo seems to be what they are calling the environment the USB boots to. This environment is moving from the XFCE desktop environment to the different KDE plasma desktop environment. These environments can both be customized, but they are very different under the hood. I imagine that you can still choose XFCE and other desktop environments from the installer.
Oh man, I did that too. Reminded me that I should always keep a backup.
Probably because it is stupid simple to escape their ecosystem just by sideloading apps. They want to lock you down with their own OS.
There is so much cognitive dissonance between the warning at the bottom of the screen and the content of the commercial. Totally agreed.
More devices need to come with Linux out of the box. It should be possible to buy a device with Linux at your local Walmart.
