      I think the whole works part is the most important part, Linux can be janky (and by that I mean obsolete information and deprecated or outdated packages are often recommended and there are a thousand different ways to do anything with only one of them actually working (don’t have an aneurysm)) on the best of days, If something just works you can change what you want later.

      Same. Tried bazzite, works fine, but immutable was annoying me for things like getting openvpn3 working (or anything involving more direct kernel stuff). Still use bazzite on my kid’s pc and my laptop but switched to fedora for my desktop and it’s been just right.

      Ubuntu and Canonical can fuck allllllll the way off. If I had to go back to a dpkg based distro it’d have to be Debian bleeding edge… and honestly I’d probably bite the bullet and try Arch instead just because of Debian’s release lag.

    Fedora on the right tbh. Even when you chill and get wisdom Canonical and Snap are just a bit too far.

    Mint users make it sound like the distro will literally suck your dick. It’s a cult at this point. Forums are filled with issues (which is normal obviously) but nope, “it just works”. When it doesn’t then that’s too bad because as easy as it is to find a vocal Mint user it’s much harder to find one who knows anything about Linux.

    They should have named Fedora something like “red hat personal” or anything else that doesn’t sound like only smelly neckbeards use it and maybe that would be more popular but here we are.

      I believe Fedora was named that before the association with neckbeards was a thing. It’s hard to believe, but back before the 2010s fedoras were mostly known as the cool hat Indiana Jones and old timey detectives wear rather than the stupid looking hat slobby idiots trying to look cool wear.

    Just checked my Mint. Why Cinnamon uses so much VRAM? I have over 1GB idle, without anything running. In my Windows i usually have 400Mb with all things closed.
