Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    I'm not familiar with Mint and I only installed Fedora twice/on two baremetal PCs ... but how much easier can you go compared to Debian?
    Is it like a cleaner UI or more preinstalled essentials?

    I‘d place archinstall lower than mint 🤭

    I want to buy a Framework laptop soon. I have the option to choose which Linux distro is best for me and load that on.

    Any suggestions?

    What are you intending to do with your laptop?

    System76 has their own OS. You should start there and move on if you wanted to.

    There is no way Gentoo is that low.

    LTSC is pretty easy to install. But it's still Windows.

    [–] HStone32@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

    Windows 10 is easy to install... If everything goes well. And 2 out of 3 times in my experience, it doesn't.

    Have you installed it recently? They fixed the common annoyances like missing nonfree drivers.

    [–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

    I suppose its all relative, but I didn't find debloated windows to be much worse than anything else. I used microwin though, is that a different experience?

    [–] autonomous@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    you guys have to read the instructions for Arch?

    I mean I touch on them sometimes to see what has been replaced or changed because linux moves pretty fast but the steps are not complicated or hard to remember.

    I installed windows 11. It was a shit show. So many updates with a 6gb iso. Took forever.
