As someone who uses and likes tumbleweed I don’t know if I would recommend it for inexperienced users. Once you start adding third party repositories for things like video codecs, dependency issues can get really nasty. Zypper will always offer you solutions to resolve them, but if you aren’t careful which one you select you can easily do stuff like accidentally remove your network driver which is a very annoying problem to have

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Want to play the latest multiplayer games? Just go into your bios settings or upgrade your PC if it doesn't have TPM chip.English
7·10 hours agoExactly, and you’ll save tons of money too. ETS2 goes on sale for $5, stardew valley for $7.50, vintage story doesn’t go on sale but it’s only $22. All games that are way more fun, way less buggy, and have way more replay value than every piece of triple a junk i’ve played
I’m sure you could manage to do a lot of things without a terminal on something like Fedora or Mint, but you really should just learn to use the command line. If you’re expecting it to be anything close to the windows command line it is not, it’s way easier to use and you’ll be able to do things so much faster than you ever could with a gui on windows. Learning everything you really need shouldn’t take more than a couple hours.
The one other option I can think of is ChromeOS Flex, but even there you’re going to have a way better experience if you learn to do things from the command line when appropriate

4·2 days agoIt’s crazy how bad software compatibility on macos is. I used to assume it was about the same or slightly better than linux in that regard, but my attempts to help my friend play games on macos have almost entirely failed despite the fact that I have tons of experience playing games on linux since it’s always been my main os

Linux@lemmy.ml•What you do with your windows button on your keyboard?
2·2 days agoI have lots of shortcuts bound to it except I never press it because I have the caps lock key mapped to the same keycode and that’s easier to press
Honestly it’s the most problem-free distribution I’ve used. I’ve used fedora, ubuntu, opensuse, and they all are way easier to break and way harder to fix. Once you get arch working it works really reliably and when it occasionally breaks it’s easy to fix. I used nixos for a while, and it is more reliable but it’s just a little too much effort.
They bothered to add infrared but not a headphone jack? Those are some bizarre priorities

8·5 days agoYou could make the world’s worst computer cluster, that could be fun. I think there are several open source tools for doing clustering
I still have one somewhere, if I remember correctly it’s kind of weird because it isn’t really very soft and you can’t really move it at all
It’s so weird to be like super proud of your state specifically because you want the state itself to be shipped off and burned. I don’t tend to want to burn things I like
Except this is on the linux community so “third party applications” is every application
Well you’ll need food to eat while you’re doing the industrial revolution and getting ready to build your computer
Opensuse dysphoria unlocked. But I guess I’m also a debian, arch, and nixos user so it cancels out

Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•Passenger trains in the United States vs Europe
0·27 days agoWhy is no one concerned that europe has taken the place of mexico??? Where is mexico now??? How is this not international news?





Yeah but you kind of need codecs from packman or you’re going to have a bad time if you want like streaming or video calls. Unless more things are included out of the box now?
