Are you sure Manjaro is the right option 😂 This thread is old now otherwise you'll get yelled at for introducing newbies to Manjaro lol Btw they might really appreciate KDE Connect!
Oh and getting them to use these cross platform programs first might really help, this way they'll be using the same stuff :) good luck 🤞
Thanks! I've had them on Firefox, LibreOffice, and VLC for awhile so I think they should be good there 🤞 I've got to see what else they use, I think it's mostly a glorified browser/spreadsheet/mahjong console
And lol yeah that's a fair point about Manjaro I just use Arch normally so selfishly I wanted to keep things kind of consistent. I'm not the most on top of what's newbie friendly in desktop Linux land — are Ubuntu/Mint still the go-tos for beginner-friendliness? Or anywhere I should look to start becoming more of a linux evangelist when talking to my nontechnical friends?
I really don't think GNOME is newbie friendly for Windows users so I go with Kubuntu but I hear Mint is also a good option. How to become a linux evangelist 🤔 that sure is an interesting question... personally I share cool screenshots from https://libredd.it/r/unixporn/ and try to get ppl to use cross platform apps while talking about how much of a spyware Windows is but this is a great question and you should make a post about it :) we wanna be ruthless and get better at propagandizing linux :sicko-laser:
btw we've a Matrix room for casual chatting about libre and sometimes we cooperate on posts like the ones I linked if you're interested.
