As long as you aren't part of the linux community and use it for productive server stuff and seek the truth not some linux community lies.

Hello based?

>>106756545
It's kind of a minefield, you have to have some precursory knowledge of what to avoid.

the very moment you install troonix you're destined to become a faggot who will remove all the shortcuts off xis dekstop, open up this faggot ui with ascii symbols that shows his specs, some audio player software no one has ever heard of with dogshit trannycore playing, a picture of a tranime girl just for the sake of it, screencap and post that fag shit online kill all troonix users

Oh no, when facts, statistics and logic are all against us anti-Linux anons, what we can even do at this point? Can't even pull random statements from our ass because even that doesn't work any more.

yeah, the main guy is anti corporation takeover of linux, hence the linux enthusiasm and the strong anti-systemd stance
he's been "anti fascist" since way before cnn programmed you to think anti fascist means you have blue hair and cut your dick off
but you wouldn't know about any of that, you shitty little clueless zoomie

>Can i use Linux as a desktop without having a mental illness?
yeah, i'm using cachyos and it's working out for me so far with my only time on console being pacman -Syu once a week after checking that no manual intervention is required. i use my computer to browse the web and do paperwork for my business. onlyoffice and libreoffice are okay, neither can do the same exact formatting as msword but it wasn't worth trying to stick with windows when it's overt spyware at this point in time. i don't play vidya so i can't comment on that. so far everything works and i have been on it for 8 days at this point. i'm not a total linux noob though since I distrohopped in the early 2010s and settled with arch from about 2012-2017 then went back to windows for work related stuff. got completely fed up with windows 10 a week and half ago and now im here.

yeah see? why did this chimpanzee open up some ascii faggot ui? who asked for this?

use case for not using linux?
>>
>>106756545
Only if you use Gnome.
>>
>>106756545
Mint/Ubuntu/Debian is the only distro I have seen on real life computers such as in schools or business.
>>
>>106756545
Yes. The mental illness part comes from speaking with the Linux "community", where everyone has strange opinions and highly-specific preferences.

I enjoy Mint with Cinnamon. Most things work out of the box, nVidia drivers work great, never had problems with wifi or sound. The only thing that ever needed fiddling was some old fingerprint reader. Even things that are a royal pain in the ass on Windows work great on Mint, like wifi printers. Steam/Proton works just fine for games and I don't play any Riot or Bungie games that refuse to work on Linux, so nothing lost here.

I don't miss Windows a single bit.

got it for autocad then realized i like drawing by hand 10x more
>>
>>106757514
Yeah, Mint just works for basic office stuff. Maybe if you need specialized tools for rendering, drawing or Photoshop, it would not compare, but for emails and documents its as out of the box as windows has been for some time.
Only headache I've got so far is the retarded smart card software required by government websites in my shithole of a country, but that's just slavic stupidity.
>>
>>106758415
just delete the line in the install script that checks your distro name and it will install fine
mint is just ubuntu 24.04 without aids
