this is just calamares, the most used installer across the span of linux distros.

on the question of why this approach vs dedicated desktop environment installs, well, ive always wondered about the pros and cons on that too. one pro is that with a dedicated DE iso you dont need an internet connection to install it. otherwise im not sure why people would choose one or the other.

yeah snapper is brilliant, and snap is trash.

LOL. respectfully, this is a hilarious question.

if i understand correct, base distros like arch and debian have many servers and this shouldnt be an issue. Perhaps the mirrors you are choosing are slow. Ive had terrible experiences choosing geographically close mirrors. If youre using pacman maybe trying rate mirrors or reflector and just letting the it auto select for you would help.

never having to resize windows with my mouse, or sort through layers of stacked windows has been a life changer for me.

also, if i open two windows it automatically uses the space. non tiling doesnt usually act this nicely

i wish kde and krohnkite handled onscreen keyboards properly together. the windows just resize and glitch the fuck out unless its the sole window open.

edit - im a kde diehard fan and i never use it without krohnkite. but these days im preferring using niri + a custom mix of dms and noctalia shell. you should check out the shells, they give nearly a full desktop experience these days.

sorry, i had just woken up

oh wow, thats what its saying? maybe my brain is bad, but this meme really doesnt clearly convey that. thanks for the help!

well this didnt go very well

bazzite isnt in this meme?

i love both, can anyone explain this meme to me?

fish is worth trying. saves alot of typing

this is adorable

i went ahead and told you what i found distasteful about your comment. and here you are just saying nonsense and calling people names. not cool.

ive been on lemmy for 23 days. this is easily the worst comment ive seen yet.

“all companies do shady stuff like google and apple” is a wild thing to say in an opensource community.

hope you have a better day tomorrow.

no offense, but “i work in the actual world” comes off rudely dismissive, and possibly a bit narrow minded. like, how did saying that help support your argument at all, and why assume others dont exist irl?

ah ok. thanks

thanks for the encouragement! so far what ive seen matches what youve said.

to be fair, theres still a lot of really good info on there, by the matter of sheer volume alone. i learned a lot about linux for instance, from reddit the last couple years. Sadly lemmy doesnt yet have the volume that would have been able to foster the same amount of learning for me. heres to hoping lemmy grows faster by the day :)

my reason-less ban feels less bad every day
