Portuguese and English are seperate branches on the family tree of European languages and neither can be said to be a copy of the other.
But if either is going to be labelled as 'cheap' then I definitely assign that to English, which feels like a dirty combination of Germanic and Romance languages rather than Portuguese which is more pure in its Latin roots. So if that's what you're trying to say then I agree with you.

>running random binaries is a pain in the ass
install steam-run-free, nigger
or nix-ld if you need some custom dependencies and don't wan't to use "steam-run" command every time you start a program.

that's it. Everything else is too niche for an average nigger like you, I mean, you're not interested in isolating your programs and your dev env, do you?

It's unrelated. Steam-run is named so because it's using steam nixpkg's code related to custom FHS environment created by steam to launch non-patched binaries in NixOS. This environment is universal, obviously. You can even add new dependencies to steam-run, if some of your binaries is using packages not installed and used by steam-run-free nixpkg by default. But it's not so comfy to use as nix-ld, because it will either have steam related options in your configuration.nix (steam-run-free don't need the installation of Steam, in opposite to steam-run which does), or nix specific code to override the list of needed packages for steam-run-free nixpkg.

Either way, I prefer to use steam-run-free and static linked libraries for binaries, just because I don't want to have FHS globally available in my system. Though I guess a better way to lunch binaries, in my case, would be nix-ld with nix-alien-ld for local nix shell environment for every binary not patched for NixOS.


Anyway, use steam-run-free nigger and shut up

this is at least as big as back when lithium ion battery technology was unlocked

This simple idea of having 2 USB-C ports CANNOT be done because it stops the zoomer from buying wireless ear buds(battery inside will always go to shit and unusable in ~3 years)

and you would be stuck using extremely affordable, high quality audio headphones or in ear buds(that are a bit too green for the planet in 2026)

also the 3.5mm headphone jack looks like a penis that goes inside a hole and basically why aren't you a wireless, constantly charging gay trans in 2026 right now.

>reinstalling that entire font family

>Can I use the discover store to download Steam and Spotify or is this one of those distros that say they are noob-friendly but you have to use the terminal?
Yes, if you install either KDE flavors: Standard if you don't mind *krashes* or Base-KDE + Discover if you want the most polished experience possible. Be careful, however, of the "forced defaults" during the installation process as the OS will push unwanted apps for the updates, unless you mark a certain app with a "taboo", I think.

>>107831443
Had better support on my 2-in-1 laptop than Fedora or Zorin so its what I have been using. Have not needed to use the terminal from what I can remember except for one app that was not in the store. No real crashes from what I can remember. Handles rotating the screen and detaching the keyboard, bluetooth, wifi just fine. I do have some graphics issues with some 3d games, but I have to do more testing because its not all of them.

>>107831443
yes you can. flathub is preinstalled already and you can install repo packages and flatpaks from discover

If you are looking for noob friendly then fedora is currently your best choice.
