q40s is a debian based distro. It comes with trinity desktop and has some very retro looking themes.

I tried it on an old laptop a while ago and it worked fine. But you could probably do the same thing with regular debian

Kde has its own thing now. Lots easier to find than its own spin

I mean this seems reasonable especially with how quickly flatpaks are becoming so common.

I’m sure this wouldn’t happen for a very long time though

There is an issue going over what happened.

I’m gonna be honest Paisa was under agpl 3 and it explicitly states you can’t just change the license.

If my non-lawyer interpration is correct.

But then again maybe I am misunderstanding that

Hyprland is very pretty and smooth. But damn. It’s reputation as a home to a community of homophobia and transphobia keeps me far away.

I wish there was another wm devoted to eye candy but until then sway will be my preferred wm

I’ve found linux support to be stupendous. I am running fedora silverblue and I can’t think of anything that didn’t work out of the box.

Even the fingerprint sensor!!!

Framework has really great forums and pages dedicated to linux. I even get firmware updates through ufw no problem.

Great build quality, amazing repairability, performance for the price is pretty decent. The keyboard is even pretty good.

It’s probably one of my favorite laptops I’ve ever used.

I mean it’s neat. And it’s oriented towards desktop use more so than any other OS I have ever used.

Personally I am very excited to finally see haiku ver 1 soon. For an old laptop it is very VERY lightweight and gets most work related tasks you could want done.

It’s neat

It’s pretty difficult to have a slogan when the price tag is reason enough to download it

Buddy I’m going to 3d print some funko pops just to fuck with em.

Stop being a bootlicker bootlicker.

I’m sure your multi-million dollar company really appreciates being defended by some rando on a super niche site

Bootlicker

I never really understood flatpak hate.

The storage use is negligible nowadays.

Permission requests feel way more user friendly and modern.

Finally linux has a universal package and people still hate it. It’s probably one of the best things to happen to linux in years

You probably shouldn’t be using an arch based distro if you want a user friendly experience.

I know there are things like manjaro and even endeavor os that are “arch but easy” but honestly I cannot in good faith recommend anything arch based for ease of use. Arch is a very fast moving distribution that usually has the newest packages but that isn’t always good. There will eventually be a problem come up, maybe not often and maybe not that serious but in my personal opinion it’s not worth it.

If you are wanting consistent ease of use and access to a lot of packages it’s hard to beat the mainstream distros. Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, (personal favorite) etc… and if you need something from arch repositories just use distrobox. You get access to all arch packages without the headache.

I’ve been using Authenticator and haven’t really had any issues.

I imported my Aegis codes and they worked no problem

It’s very pretty and I could see myself using it but I will stick with breezy weather for now.

I just think this has too much going on and the information is spread out too much. This is all personal preference but I feel that I get a lot more information from breezy quicker.

Cool project tho. Really like the radar

Thank you for posting this week in gnome here

I wouldn’t recommend duel booting on one drive.

I’ve done it before and hated it. As many pointed out windows will just destroy that partition because it wants to.

I’d honestly just stick with windows if you are going to need it.

If you don’t need it I’d just wipe the drive and install mint.

Duel booting can work well but usually only on separate drives

Ah cool. This will probably be better for newcomers since they won’t have to search for a tiny little “spins” at the bottom of the page.

Kde is probably a lot more familiar to windows users and I know I usually recommend it to people moving over even if I do prefer gnome.

I think gnome is working on the same sort of thing, read here.

I’m glad to see both going for an immutable os with flatpaks. It’s so much more user friendly for the average person and if you are more technically inclined distrobox makes it a breeze to use it like a regular linux desktop.

I hope both do well

I recommend booting into a live usb and seeing if everything is frozen.

If it does it even on the live usb it may be a hardware issue.

And if it’s hardware a lot of things can explain random freezing. I had similar freezing issues and it turned out to be a dying psu

They could have handled announcing this so much better.

Linus fumbled this hard.
