even by just becoming a linux user, you are helping making it more mainstream
Linux Mint is the gateway penguin.
Me but with Kubuntu instead of mint
Next month will be two years in Mint exclusively. I have no complaints.
Well, I do miss the big preview window in File Explorer, but otherwise, I’m happy to be rid of Windows.
Me who just have install Ubuntu.
If you have any problems with Blueman not letting Bluetooth controllers work, install KDE system settings. Don’t know why that works but it does.
I will try that out. I usually directly go terminal
Unless you’re playing with your OS, than being vanilla is what you want.
At the end of the day for new and casual users, support wins. Ubuntu has the largest community of support, making Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu while having a more elegant variety of UI, making it a good compromise. Good choice.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Mint Debian based these days?
Regular Mint is based off of Ubuntu, which is Debian based itself. However, it is somewhat beholden to the Ubuntu way of doing things.
They do have a version that uses a plain Debian base, so they’re not reliant on Canonical. That version is LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition).
Ubuntu is Debian based, so yes.
i thougt its both, because they have a debian version
i love my fedora
Same, just moved to it
me who broke my Asahi Linux again by trying to update the firmware 🐒
I love ZorinOS
I use cachy os because I like my pc to go fast as fuck boy
I also use “Script kiddie Arch”, BTW.
Lmao my dumbass can’t use regular arch
I mean yeah. This is going to be me as soon as I fix my next two life and death problems and hang the drapes, and also post a picture on here of the picture we found thrifting because i am excited that it helps color my room I don’t care that it’s a print of AI bullshit. I can put a print of something better there eventually but it catches the eye right now.
In the meantime, is there a “these are the cli commands you need to know” Linux for stoned dummies cause I haven’t used it since college and that was decades ago

This is a lot of fun. Starts off pretty basic with the cli, and gets way more advanced.
If you intend on using a normal desktop distro, you will usually be able to find the command for what you want to do online. You may not even end up typing any command, I remember someone who was hyped to use the terminal being disappointed that he never got to.
The “essential” cli commands are the ones that you will definitely not use in an everyday desktop life. It’s going to be about file manipulation, maybe some daemon management and networking. All of this will be either preconfigured or done through a file explorer and web browser.
If you can say what you want to do and with what distro, maybe people can try to anticipate what you’ll need? I would generally advise to wait for a reason to use a command before worrying about learning it.
I plan on breaking my computer with mint cinnamon
Just remember that there is an emergency tty in the ctrl alt f1-7 somewhere. I never remember which one, so spam them until it appears, usually when I maxed my ram and have no swap
TeleTypeWriter? sorry, have some Deaf friends so that is the first thing that comes to mind
edit oh gods i’ve even had my coffee that’s not even the same letter. this is the first time i have felt shame in… hold on i need to get a calendar. 22 years, 4 months, 23 days. oh gosh.
Not trying to win contests. Just glad it ain’t winders.
Marduk I don’t know why you chose your username but it is my favorite of all the Mesopotamian/Babylonian I forget gods so I love it when I see your name pop up. First prize! :3
I’ve used it forever. 90’s or early 00’s. Started with pazuzu from i think final fantasy or similar game.
Then was thinking of ancient gods as well. Fight between Marduk and tiamat.
Just stayed with that.
Well glad i can bring happiness where i can. Have a great day.
