★ miredo-lazy◆iBrdAEVvU6 > commercial OSes with really shitty hardware support (LOL solaris on x86 for years) (2026/4/11-17:31:49)

★ miredo-lazy◆iBrdAEVvU6 > one thing I do think a lot about is that these kind of issues aren't really linux specific, pretty much anything not-Windows since forever has had really shitty hardware support outside a few machines (you ever run OS/2 lmao) (2026/4/11-17:31:10)

★ miredo-lazy◆iBrdAEVvU6 > fucking pulseaudio, fucking wifi that only stayed connected for 10 minutes at a time (2026/4/11-17:29:02)

★ deeptoot > *sneak sneak* (｀・ω・´) (2026/4/11-17:28:58)

★ miredo-lazy◆iBrdAEVvU6 > in the end, I just use debian and I know where the potholes in the road are; I guess I shouldn't recommend it to random ordinary people, but honestly, the last time I felt reasonably comfortable with recommending linux to ordinary people was stock Ubuntu before GNOME 3 (this is also me ignoring the wifi and audio issues of the era LOL) (2026/4/11-17:28:38)

★ miredo-lazy◆iBrdAEVvU6 > either way, easy is somewhat subjective, since most linux users have different ideas of what shit they want to be easy (2026/4/11-17:25:51)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > wsl is ez for noobs if you just need to run some random script, and hilariously complicated past that since every install is super stripped down and you need install a bunch of shit yourself while also contending with a few wsl only corner cases (2026/4/11-17:22:46)

★ anonwaha◆bGTvsQ3YBE > yeah (2026/4/11-17:21:55)

★ raev◆*0 > either they throw u in a live enviroment or right into install gui or some tui (2026/4/11-17:21:44)

★ raev◆*0 > tbh most distros install the same (2026/4/11-17:21:08)

★ anonwaha◆bGTvsQ3YBE > the installation process of mint and manjaro is basically identical - if u can do one then u can do the other (2026/4/11-17:20:10)

★ raev◆*0 > if tard hiro cant linux mint but can manjaro.. (2026/4/11-17:18:12)

★ raev◆*0 > issue with debian based shit for noob is u cant just install some cool shit u found online easily. where the aur just works. (2026/4/11-17:16:30)

★ raev◆*0 > fedora good, i use it mainly for server. opensuse is basicly for servers and is shit. wsl is not a good way for noobies (2026/4/11-17:15:45)

★ Rabbitfield > i waked upz ( ˶‾꒳‾˵) (2026/4/11-17:13:48)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > mint is recommended as an ez-modo distro but like, I always had weird issues with mint so I used Xubuntu for years before going to Debian (2026/4/11-17:06:42)

★ hallo > And they're all undoubtedly user friendly in my opinion (2026/4/11-17:06:20)

★ hallo > because these are the distributions that everyone else copies from and they are the ones that'll actually teach you Linux (2026/4/11-17:05:53)

★ hallo > I feel like the best beginner distribution is any of the upstream ones.... Fedora, Debian, Arch, or OpenSUSE (2026/4/11-17:05:39)

★ hallo > either way, if you're on Windows and don't actually feel like switching to Linux, set up wsl and install Ubuntu in it < it's tough for me to recommend Ubuntu because of Snaps but it's way better than something like Mint (2026/4/11-17:04:48)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > goddamn, I can't type right now - "explorer.exe ." is the correct command, no quotes (2026/4/11-17:03:44)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > er, "explorer exe ." in the Linux shell to open up the current Linux folder in Explorer, and then copy the script in (2026/4/11-17:02:44)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > run explorer.exe (2026/4/11-17:02:11)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > no need to fuck around with anything hard, you can do that shit from the windows store (2026/4/11-17:02:01)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > (Ubuntu sucks mostly because Canonical has gone insane) (2026/4/11-17:01:20)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > Ubuntu sucks, but iirc it still has the best WSL integration (2026/4/11-17:00:07)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > either way, if you're on Windows and don't actually feel like switching to Linux, set up wsl and install Ubuntu in it (2026/4/11-16:59:45)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > I never liked Fedora but I think that was mostly because everything I wanted to use was in rpmfusion, it has been years now (2026/4/11-16:58:58)

★ hallo > SHOGUN-S > i was using fedora for a bit before i have that on a drive < stick to Fedora (2026/4/11-16:57:58)

★ hallo > yes please use the arch derivative that nukes the AUR every week (2026/4/11-16:57:09)

★ hallo > one guy is unironically telling people to use void with an X11 desktop environment and the other guy is telling some dude to use manjaro of all distributions (2026/4/11-16:56:49)

★ hallo > such schizophrenia in the chat right now (2026/4/11-16:56:23)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > the Debian docs in some cases haven't been updated in maybe 18 years lmao (2026/4/11-16:55:46)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > Debian docs suck ass though, Arch wiki is useful on every Linux distro (2026/4/11-16:55:22)

★ miredo◆MIreDo.98. > I run Debian on everything and it is easy LOL ＼（＾Ｏ＾）／ (2026/4/11-16:55:05)

★ raev◆*0 > WHERE TEH FUCJ IS HACHII (2026/4/11-15:05:51)

★ Revolver Ocelot > Void has an XFCE thing, that's probably good enough of an easymode desu (2026/4/11-13:43:43)

★ raev◆*0 > (｀∩´)σ (2026/4/11-13:37:41)

★ anonwaha◆bGTvsQ3YBE > any linux is easy to b0rk if ur not a linuxer (2026/4/11-13:37:02)

★ raev◆*0 > you need a lot more n00b tutorials on debian bc of how easily it b0rks (2026/4/11-13:35:14)

★ anonwaha◆bGTvsQ3YBE > it does matter if u want n00b tutorials to actually work (2026/4/11-13:34:14)

★ raev◆*0 > it does not matter how much people claim X is for beginer while also being Debian (2026/4/11-13:33:28)

★ raev◆*0 > stay away from debian anything (2026/4/11-13:32:23)

★ Revolver Ocelot > I don't think Void has an equivalent "easymode" like Manjaro is to Arch though, which is a shame. (2026/4/11-13:30:41)

★ SHOGUN-S > i was using fedora for a bit before i have that on a drive (2026/4/11-13:30:40)

★ SHOGUN-S > idk what the fuck manjaro is (2026/4/11-13:30:23)

★ Revolver Ocelot > I like Void way better than anything Arch based. No SystemDick to worry about and XBPS is so much nicer than pacman. (2026/4/11-13:29:49)
