Do people seriously install the optional updates?

And that is why I’ve got my dad on Mint. He would not dare to even do a point upgrade himself. Until two days ago he was on 20.2 or smth. But he does the small updates quite diligently, like I told him. System admin dream of such users.

Utterly mind-shattering revelation

It’s windows that mimics kde plasma tho

Nah, just get some email provider with a good reputation and setup gmail to forward all mail. From there you can start to change the emails in all your accounts one by one. And hey, even if takes you 5 years to complete, it’s still worth it. Oh, some else had the exact same recommendation. I should have read the other comments first. Oh well

I will stick to emulating 30 year old video game consoles and fan reimplementations like OpenMW and OpenRCT2. I am driven by pure spite. They will never get me!

Turns out I don’t even care about all that content that much.

Disagree. Take game saves on windows. They can be in appdata\local, appdata\roaming, documents\company-name, documents\savedgames\company-name I’m sure there are more.

skill issue

I think it’s funny you try to show how good the game engine is by saying it’s used in movies. Like sure it’s impressive, but graphics don’t make a game. Give me one good game with simple graphics built in Godot, rather than 100 fancy locking $80 micro-transaction infested always online games.

They are both terrible. Synaptic is the only one worth using on debian based distros.

Arch is the answer. Arch is the way.

Of course it’s gay, I use Arch btw

Well, live and learn :)

but allowerasing doesnt work so you need to uninstall everything manually to unbreak ffmpeg

There we go, that’s probably what I should have done. Utterly ridiculous! That’s too bad since Kinoite is the best immutable distro out there right now IMHO. (No, I don’t count NixOS)

And we can go deeper still, cause I have also tried uBlue! And what do you know, even uBlue sucks. I swear to you I had issues I could not figure out how to solve on every single Fedora 39 thing I tried. Yes, I will admit that a user who is used to the Fedora way will have probably easily solved all those, but not me. And I could say the same about Arch, only on Arch I actually know how to solve my problems. And on Arch people would assume having to fix stuff manually, not on Fedora though. Fedora should be an “it just works” distro like Mint, but it’s SO GOD DAMN far from it. Anyways, I honestly believe the entire Fedora eco-system is straight up cursed.

They just don’t want to get their asses sued for free software

How come the other distros don’t seem to care? Does it just come down to them being based in the US?. They can’t be the only distro mainly based in the US, can they? VLC would not play ANYTHING. That was installed from RPMFusion in Fedora Kinoite 39. But even IF it were to work, this whole RPMFusion thing is ridiculous. If I had to install a bunch of codecs and drivers from the AUR I would say the same about Arch. That would absolutely kill the distro for me.

i probably just wasted my time on a brainless troll like you.

Hard to argue with that ;)

Eh, just my personal opinion. I tried it once and didn’t like it. But I can admit that is similar to me saying “Gnome sucks”. It’s obviously a matter of personal opinion.

I just want new packages and Tumbleweed sucks, and don’t even get me started on Fedora and their codec nonsense. Every time I tried Fedora I run into issues. You can’t even use their packaged version of VLC cause they don’t also package the correct version of ffmpeg. Fedora is a joke. Nobara even worse cause that one is outdated on top of it. Arch is the way and you are all wrong.

I just can’t wait to have inexperienced users mess around with that.

You switched distros because of this? 😆
