There's no need for a terminal but hating Google is the right thing to do
oh yeah well i just spent two full days and all my mental energy just to get babys first linux installed so suck on that elitists
Also using a cutting edge distro (Arch or Manjaro) is asking for trouble. Which desktop environment did you go with?
i went with mint which may or may not have been a mistake, its all nice and easy now its installed, but after all the dual boot drama with bios vs uefi i ended up having to reinstall it five times because every time i tried to install the recommended nvidia drivers it locked up completely and refused to even boot, somehow the solution to my system refusing to boot was to switch my monitor cable from displayport to hdmi lol wtf
Glad it's working, mint's fine. If you upgrade anytime soon don't buy anything nvidia tho, fuck nvidia.
I hate that Nvidia works better with Blender. It's totally nonsensical
arch linux requires you to use r*ddit
cringe and unbased
also idk if this is real or not I'm ironi poisoned
Yeah idk, I can usually update my computer to no issue at all. It might have just been familiarity and not having touched it in years, but installing Kubuntu on a friend's computer ran me into a couple weird issues I couldn't figure out.
All distros got terminals but arch is cutting edge so it's only recommended for experienced linux users
You should learn from @PorkrollPosadist who is daily driving gentoo
Btw @HornyPosadist I could've sworn that we discussed linux a while back and you said you wouldn't use it because you're a gmer...maybe that was someone else. Too many gmers on my hexbear!
So now you're back to Windows, I'm sure the linux g*mers we've wouldn't mind helping you with your linux setup.
All I'm gonna say is that I've seen him talk enthusiastically about gentoo
as in for hobby computing, yeah arch is pretty cool. being cutting edge, i've had to debug shit before (specifically, gnome 3 decided to break how dead keys were supposed to work, which for a good two hours looked like something was wrong with my keyboard localization until i realized KDE applications worked fine and googled "gnome 3 dead keys") but like this has been once in like almost two years of using arch on this machine. it's remarkable considering i have nvidia optimus which was a FUCKING PAIN in ubuntu. wouldn't use it for work stuff, then again, i can't really use anything but macOS for work, so there you go.
What's nice about fedora? I've only ever used ubuntu flavors, debian, and arch (btw).
You want to tip your distro at m'lady?
:attlee-fedora: It's a semi rolling distro so the latest software without being on the cutting edge. I also hear their KDE spin is great
Intriguing. Do they have anything akin to the Arch User Repository?
That I haven't looked into yet but speaking of aur, have you heard about this?
It's based on Arch so you can just use the AUR if you want to.
lmao yeah
Also this is gui installer and it says don't use a gui to install it :owl-wink:
