I’m so happy to see this, finally some good news from the us.

Starting with Visual Studio (not code) helps a ton. Make a simple winforms application with a button and some labels and you will start to see how it ‘starts up’ from program.cs to your form.

You buy the partner flatpack from ikea and compile the nervous system. Because you added all modules for the complete experience, they open their eyes and flee from your house.

Missed opportunity to make trashcan joke about macos.

My advice is: make your data eternal, not your distro. Your kde config and customization should work across distros (but don’t dualboot with 2 distros messing in the same /home). Don’t know about you, but I like the separated work/play dynamic I have with linux/windows so I’m waiting for bazzite to become dual bootable with linux to be my playstation. If you put your game library on it’s own partition/disk you can mount it from dualboot distros.

Every distribution is always the most stabellest, maintained piece of software on their website but fuckups happen, teams change, users get blamed for exotic circumstances tarnishing their reputation. Have a backup and use whatever feels right currently.

Pop_os is also ubuntu based btw, hate the name but maybe system76 is able to keep you safe from the snappification while you use what you are accustumed to?

Why would you want that?

Went from gentoo to manjaro, can confirm. My hut was awesome but the shower took hours to compile.

I still don’t get the problem. Are you complaining you have to chroot into your system and finish the update because your power got interrupted? Is a 5 min detour into a live system making you unconfortable? This is how you would fix it in any distro except the image based ones and the arch wiki will guide you excellently how to do it. Good luck!

Who knows, haven’t tried it today, maybe its like the “can’t print on tuesdays” bug and only triggers on certain days when I try to check what weekday a contract ends ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I just found out my KDE calendar (when you click the clock) skips 3 months when you click the arrow to next month. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Let me guess, pride month 2022?

Primitive ftpd from fdroid is my go-to “too lazy to configure a cloud thing” solution. It is fast and just works.

I don’t like this word either, selective screenshot or sth…

Because at the same time plasma succeded kwin and dolphin konqueror, the kool naming scheme became optional. The snipping tool used to be Ksnapshot, which was at least obvious naming in what it did.

Do a pacman -Syyu before you continue.

That is true! I assume Debra had Debbie as a nickname sometimes, full points.

You look at your DE all day and your distro holds everything together. Op didn’t say distro is unimportant and I agree it makes sense for new users to look at images and videos of different desktops first, maybe try a live cd, and then choosing the backend that suits their willingness to interact with.

If your electricity and time are cheap, you want to learn and your pc-system is your playground not a productivity tool, Gentoo is a valid option. In this case, your choice of DE impacts your compile time massively and knowing alternatives beforehand gives you options.

A locked bootloader is all they need to lock you out for “a uniform experience and support across all devices”. That freedom to install whatever is not a given.

Check if your university has a laptop program with sweet discounts, or look for other student discount offerings first. Could be worth it.
