I hate the shitty threads you people make.
I want to share what has opened my eyes, for other novices like me, who are trying to leave Winslop 11.

This thread is supposed to put you on the right track to making your own decision,
after reading this thread the fog of Linux won't be there anymore,
you will know what you want and you will find the distro that is suitable for you.

> 1. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg
This old image includes 95% of all Linux distros in existence, study this.

Studying this image alone, is going to help you see through idiotic arguments like "mint is better" or "go with arch" or "go with pop_os" -- most of them have a parent OS.

> 2. Distro arguments are pointless. #1 choice that you must make is what family Linux do you want and pick.
If you studied image above, you will see there distinct few families of Linux, the relevant ones are: Debian, Fedora, Arch.

Most laptops are using proprietary ACPI protocols. You would need to patch the kernel, but since Debian's kernel is very old in comparison to other distributions, this option is out off the table, since I don't want to patch and compile kernel from scratch myself

Getting a modern kernel is as easy as swapping for Liquorix (or Xen depending on the distro, but I've found Liquorix more reliable).
And updated firmware is as easy as
`cd /tmp
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
cd linux-firmware/
sudo cp -va * /lib/firmware/`
and then
`sudo update-initramfs -u`

I also use CoreCtrl to manage my 9070XT, so with it I've also replaced my Mesa drivers with an almost up to date version with Ernstp's Mesa Almost-Stable repo;

Good idea, but it's too many words. A general needs to be shortened to single post, composed of only a few small paragraphs or links. You have good info but are ranting and it is overwhelming. I suggest you make something like this:

"In the GNU/Linux world there are three main branches, each with their own package manager and community. They are: Debian (apt), Arch (pacman), and Red Hat (dnf-rpm). Though there are also various and semi-popular independent distros such as Alpine, Nix, and Gentoo."

Some of Debian's popular forks include
>Mint*
>MX Linux
>Pop OS*
>Zorin*
>AntiX

This is likely just bad programming.

Im hoping that what happened is fine... your hardware is most likely fine. If your GPU was broken it would not cause your PC to go to the BIOS your GPU is fine and same with your RAM... most likely your motherboard COULD be suspect for actual damage.

It’s good, if you understand its purpose and limitations.
I’ve been using it for almost 2 years, since back when it was only on mac.
For pure text edit vanilla Zed is much better than VSCode, but there things that VSCode does better thanks to extensions(in my experience Docker related) and non textual media support such as images.
Zed has very good AI support out of the box(better than VSCode) but for AI centered tasks I’m currently using Antigravity. You don’t need to but as a matter of personal preference I like to keep my AI tools separated from my hand coding tools.
