For me, it's Fedora. I don't know why anyone would recommend Mint these days. Fedora has sensible default settings, good built-in security, newer packages, good support, and you can easily replicate the Windows workflow with KDE. And if you want a macOS-like experience, there's GNOME.

Best distribution for new users? Yes, I think so.

Arch users can't really think ever, can they? Your distro does not make anything other can't. You have no gui installer, no usable ootb images, only support x86_64, official repo is so fucking lame the 30 retarded dudes in charge of the project just said "users should make the work instead" with shitty package signing servers that pretty much never truly worked until Valve got fed up and gave them one. You can build your distro from the ground with Fedora, SUSE, Gentoo, NixOS, Guix, Debian. They all have minimal images, ready ootb images, multi architecture support, and AUR like options. Arch is nothing special, just a SIMPLE distro for anyone wanting to flex while running an script. This was top notch 15 years ago, now is a nuisance, operating systems are tools meant to let users do X thing the sooner as possible, not every linux user should be an operating system enthusiast because there's people with lives.

Nigga, you can completely remove flatpak from any Fedora system at anytime.
>AUR
Found the tranny arch user who likes to fuck without condom because it feels "better" then complains when gets aids.
>>107608847
rpm distros are very alike, however, SUSE Tumbleweed might be the sweet spot for updating environment along packages, Fedora tends to wait more before updating environment versions, or they just get updated on new releases. Sames as with SUSE Leap.

Should I connect it to the mobo or is that fan still working as intended connected to the PSU?

The bootable installer that you can acquire from the microsoft website includes all versions of windows 11, so make a proper installer using the microsoft tool or ventoy, and then install the proper version of windows and try again. If you're using an OEM license you may have to call their little hotline to get it activated. Good luck

You know what's killing me right now besides my 50% shorter battery life on Linux right now? The lack of enhanced pointer precision on the touchpad for this Yoga 11e, even though touchscreen works for Lubuntu out of the box. I'll try Mint XFCE next I guess. But seriously the lack of synaptics drivers is a major pain in the ass so far and I don't know if there is a substitute.

i'll try to keep this short
keep in mind this is a cracked win 7 with a legit key, upgraded to win 10, then 11 and by all accounts M$ is cool with it

installed win 11 home by mistake on new PC, the bootable I made was win 11 pro

win 11 won't activate on new PC, can't change a product key because it's digital tied to my account

try to reinstall win 11 from USB and choose pro, but don't get the option and it just reinstalls home without giving me an option

how do i get this option select back

when they said "your" problems, they didn't mean (you)r problems, they meant problems for rich jews and child diddlers(same thing). those problems are (you).
let me know if you need any more advice.

By the end of 2026, there will be ~5,400 data centers being built or fully operational.

Each data center consumes as much energy as ~1,000,000 US households.

That would mean AI data centers will consume as much energy as nearly 1,000,000,000+ people, considering each household = 2-3 people.

Cost of electricity and hydro will cost 200-300% more by the end of 2026, since energy production in the US has remained stagnant for decades.

Is this sustainable?

They are far behind and they are too lazy to remove discover despite having it in the distro and telling users not to use it. You can find software through the yast software frontend or myrln now but it leaves a lot to be desired.

I use KDE which comes with Discover and it opens just fine and I can see programs and even update my system through it successfully. I have enabled Flatpaks though so maybe it can still be down and all I'm seeing are Flatpak offerings.

I never heard that, the one they talked about removing was YAST which is its own window in the settings. Are you confusing the two or is there talk about removing Discover?
