pacman in my opinion is the easiest package manager ive used but even so if it is that difficult then they can use a GUI package manager that would come pre installed on most GUI arch based distros

Recognizing that’s your opinion, in my opinion it’s the hardest I’ve used. The commands are all flags, so you have to remember letters instead of “install” or “upgrade” if you want to use any packages outside of the like 4 in the official repos, you have to enable AUR, which is effectively just installing from source from some random person’s GitHub repo, in which any number of things can go wrong. I mean, there’s a reason there exist a bunch of different wrappers for pacman.

I just blame alsamixer for that. There was a solid 6 months that I had to completely uninstall and then reinstall alsamixer on my Lenovo every reboot so I could have sound

You might have some GUI nonsense happen, but for the most part you’ll be okay. I have exclusively used i3 for my Linux stuff over the past few years and have only run into a few problems with misc apps

Then you deal with the fact that zoom is a dumpster fire for those clients

Zoom is an absolute dumpster fire of an application, but that’s your solution. Don’t use zoom.

Seriously though, Google meet, Microsoft teams, discord, all work great. Zoom just barely functions and I don’t get why people want to use it.

No love for folder.bak?

May I introduce you to Nerd fonts you can have your inconsolata and your symbols

Inconsolata is my ride or die font for programming.

IMO, the best distro is going to be whatever you’re most comfortable with (given it’s still getting updates blah blah blah). Some might be easier in the get go but if they do wonky things (compared to what you’re used to) an update might really screw you up and leave you in a situation where you’re doing a lot of research.

For the most part, you can make any distro do whatever you want, but if you understand one much better than the rest, use that.

IBM doesn’t do consumer stuff anymore they sold the entire side of that business to Lenovo.

HP Business stuff is pretty good but it’s gonna run you a pretty penny.

Honestly people over do it with the Nvidia complaints.

Nvidia provides a rock solid driver for Linux. If you are a general consumer it works really really well and it’s easy to install.

Here’s the actual historical issue people have with Nvidia on Linux: it’s a closed source binary which is contradictory to the ethos of Linux.

But he’s the rub, Nvidia open sourced some shit this year, not all of it, but they’re becoming more open about the GPU drivers. But shitting on Nvidia is a hard habit to break lol

HP consumer products are literal garbage. The only good thing that comes out of HP is their commercial server equipment.

Lenovo won’t let you down for Linux. I’ve run Linux on thinkpads for years, multiple generations. I used to work at IBM, so I had em for work. Rock solid machines, I still run with them today (just the newer generations).

Bet. Give me puppies as a service.

If you had no co pay you wouldn’t have had a $200 bill ( unless you went out of network and then fuck you for wanting to have a choice)
