there are to many options and preferences

What you need isn’t what everyone needs. I suspect you’ll have a very hard time finding massive numbers of windows users who only need a terminal.

I sincerely hope that you don’t need one distribution for games and another for developers, Having to reboot to play games is why we’ve had such bad penetration for years.

Every distro needs to be able to handle all the video cards from the last decade. Lutris and Steam need to run really well everywhere or we’ll take forever to get proper market penetration.

They literally nauseate me. I would assume that wasn’t the intent, but to each their own.

I see your /s but we all watched Linux Sebastian burn an easy distro to the ground with ample warnings while refusing to read any information about the distro. And he’s on the long side of the Dunning-Kruger curve for windows.

I think we need everything to work out of the box on all major hardware, no terminal commands, video accelerators working by default and steam to be a one-click install.

Easy for Arch. The Arch community is far too hostile for the first run for newcomers

I REALLY hate the new fight montages where they jumpcut every punch like in Matrix 4. They never let it settle enough for you to get your berings, feels like it’s just a rabid weasel with a gopro starapped to it.

Honestly, Day 1’ers, I’d rather they run Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, or Fedora. There are strong communities that are noob friendly. Go ahead and install Steam, get some games working, get their feet wet. 99% of the time, they don’t need more than basic stuff. Once they’re over being afraid of not being in windows, then start distro hopping to whatever they want.

I think we need a new worm

I’M FED UP, GOING TO INSTALL LINUX!

• picks a complicated distro where you really need to read the manual or do some heavy google searches to do gaming *

I’M FED UP, THIS IS TOO HARD, I’M GOING BACK TO WINDOWS!

The amount of bailing out should be inversely proportionate to the amount of people fired during record profits.

LOL, that’s his whole schtick for nile blue :)

The first time I saw the reaction, I was shocked it’s so close to my closed eye hallucinations

crazy!

What I see is very close to this:

I see pulsing waves of color, even in pitch black rooms. When I was little they were bright as fireworks, now, depending on the night they’re either just vaguely waves of purple, grey, and blue or sometimes electric blue and white.

that would make sense

Everyone who was on Twitter that couldn’t handle X moved, it’s hopping, their algorithm is as good at discovery as Reddit or Twitter. A great deal of my social network that was on facebook moved right over.

Not OP, but…

Finding a single server that fits my interests is the first stumbling block. I follow 30-40 communities here, so I need to pick just one focus, which kinda sucks, TBF.

So I picked one, It was too quiet, but it was a start, then I started looking for interesting people. Hardly anyone famous, the few that I did find ended up being the ones that turned out to be creeps in the news, even assuming they were real accounts, which is probably a generous assumption. When I finally found the few people I wanted to follow, they gradually disappeared over time to Bluesky.

WIth their community lines being split per server and no discovery other than randomly finding someone with your tastes while bebopping around on your server. It wasn’t a good experience.

I REALLY wanted to do a pi phone, and while it’s very possible to make a working phone/tablet out of one, their power consumption is absolutely awful. Most of the linux capable SBC’s can’t do low power.

I want an 8" linux touch screen with 18h of moderate usage batter life, I’m even willing to carry around a separate 4g access point.

Judge: Why?

To be honest, it’s probably the last thing that doesn’t exist properly on YouTube.

But like 99.999% of everything else, it’s not on peertube either.

If you hit a Google search, there are probably a handful of projects for Bluetooth, Casio, Python.

There are a bunch of videos of people reviewing the watch, but they’re watch reviewers. Other than the Android or iOS app, they hardly touch that it supports anything.

With every credit card in existence, supporting Tap to pay these days. We have a pretty decent alternative.

Let em all shut me down. If they don’t need my business, I don’t need theirs. I just found out that Casio makes a g-shock with Bluetooth and you can screw with it using python and an unlisted API.

One more nail in the coffin for my smartphone footprint. I just want an 8" linux tablet, a watch that can give me messages from signal and a battery powered access point.
