  • arch is interesting to me and i’m not too worried about the install, the rolling releases and stability of the system are what i think would snag me in using it. though the minute regular updates are probably more an issue for people who delve into the system more to get the absolute most out of it. it’ll be more stable, works out of the box-type distros for me while i get a grasp of things like the file system and using the terminal. but i do think the setups people post of their riced out installs look pretty cool ngl


  • i havent really looked into that, been mostly researching debian based distros specifically ubuntu and it’s bunch since a lot of recommendations go to it. nobara looks interesting for the big gaming spin it has though i’m still iffy on being at home with linux for games, but from the outside looking in things like proton seem to be doing a lot of good in that space recently.


  • just works “almost” is pretty funny but i know what you mean. i wasn’t having much trouble with it testing it with a virtual machine. the nice thing is a lot of the applications i use on windows are already free software that im realizing are a lot of the go to’s for people running linux, so really a lot should “just work”


  • i’m about to take my first peek into linux on mint. i’m not completely put off learning some new things but being able to do that in a desktop that is familar makes everything a lot easier to pick up on. who knows, if it all goes smoothly maybe next week i’ll be running arch (i won’t)
