  • Obviously a matter of taste and not trying to insult anyone but I never saw the appeal of the Toy Story movies and, adding the Steve Jobs link to Pixar, this is the ONE thing I never liked about Debian

    Other than that I used it for YEARS with no issues whatsoever. Debian is honestly rock solid. I only gave it up when I built a bleeding edge machine (it was bleeding edge for a whole 2 months maybe? hehehe) and I did not trust myself modding it enough to allow for super fresh drivers and other software.

    I am now on Garuda Linux which is pretty awesome but I still miss good, solid, old Debian


  • I agree, but there is a big difference in saying “I don’t know what to do, I need to learn this new thing” vs “there is a scary part to Linux and there is no way around it”

    Saying “driving manual is hard” is fine, saying “you need to learn to shift gears without a clutch to drive” is wrong and would scare potential drivers






  • “I got the confidence to really jump into Linux after the Steam Deck.”

    I offered my son (16) to get him an “office” computer for his room so he can do homework and emails and junk. He said he felt so comfortable with Linux because of the Steam Deck and we could instead just get a nicer monitor and a docking station and he will use the Deck as a gaming machine AND office workstation whenever our main computer (also Linux) is busy



  • Gotta love these videos… they can be summarized as follows:

    “I hate Windows so I will try Linux with no prep… Linux is not identical to Windows in x, y, z and therefore Linux is still deficient… Looks like I cannot do everything I could think of without reading a single line of documentation, conclusion, LiNUx iS nOT ReADy!”

    Not recommending Ubuntu because of those 2 things, both of which can be turned off easily, seems a bit extreme. Like not recommending a Toyota because some of the inside trim attrack dust

    As an intro into Linux, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone even if I myself moved on from it

    Always hated how MS forces you to use their shit … I mean I get it, most wouldn’t chose to use them as they are indeed shit

    I have OneDrive limited to a single swap meat folder aptly called “dumpster” and it still fucks it up weekly
