>>108236528average linux ux. Make the user responsible for manually and individually dealing with all integration issues between thousands of binaries and hundreds of config files whenever the devs of said binaries or distro just don't care to do a complete job and ensure their product works ootb
>>108236528>have heard that zorin os is the only distro that "just werks" actually zorinos is just a noob bait distro. they sell a pro version that's just some themes and free software pre installed, and their descriptions are purposefully vague and make it seem like you're getting some exclusive holy grail of windows software alternatives. apparently the new toy is cachy os, idk i use arch, but you'll probably have more luck on an arch derivative just because of how much software is available from the main repos. as a rule of thumb, small distros with small teams I'd expect to be outdated or broken in more ways than they should. just stick to the big guys>>108236655hmmmmm this is really vague anon elaborate
CachyOS is the real just werks distro
>>108236840OP here. I tried that one too, and it failed to install.
>>108236846Works on my machine
>>108236865good for you, faggot
Come over here then >>108211286
>>108236528is systemd now startx worked last time like year 2002 lucky you to see these events
>>108236831anon's comment wasn't vague at all, you're just retarded
>>108236846Try installing arch then, with archinstall ofc.
>>108236831ZorinOS is an jeet distro
>>108236528Just install any normal popular distro lol
>>108236528Just use Arch or Debian/Mint
>>108236528You should just stick with windows.
you fell for the meme OP>me 3 years ago>install arch>rice desktop>make a couple of screenshots>reinstall weendowsliving on my leenox cred ever since, /g/ couldn't ever tell
>>108236528'just werks' is baityou need to know how the linux system worksyou are better off jumping in the deep end with arch and choosing which software you want, rtfm and configure yourself, then you will understand how linux works and how your system is put together and you'll be able to fix any problems
>>108237157>Just use Arch>Naw it doesn't matter if you've never used Linux before and don't even know what sudo meansI hate arch trannies so fucking much
>>108237320it literally doesnt matterarch was my first distroyou just have to be able to read
>>108236963ZorinOS is one of 10 most popular distros, you retard.
I've always installed Steam without any need of even open the console, and on the most obscure, literally-who distros, like AntiX.You're just incompetent. You can stay in your carry-me-daddy OS.
>>108236528Contrary to what you'll hear on this dumpsterfire of a website, Linux is not a desktop OS and it will probably never be one. Maybe Valve will be able to something with it (SteamOS) but that's it.
>>108237400That's what I did as well. But it didn't work, troon.
>be frogposter>be retardedmany such cases
>>108237582Frogs r exceptional smart u know. U just jealous you so dumb
we told you to install gentoo
>>108236528I run steam on xubuntu. It just works.
>>108238065>Xububtu
>>108238092>insults another man's distro choice despite them all suckingwho's the retard here?
>>108238092It has all the support ubuntu does but for people who don't want a windows vista ui experience
>>108238158Niggr I use LFS with DWM. I am a GOD you dull creature, now kneel.
>>108236528>install Steam>won't open
>>108236528The one thing you should do on any linux install before doing anything else is updating. If you do not update from the initial install you will have a buggy mess.I wish it weren't the case, but it is. I'm sure Zorin is fine, you just made the mistake of not doing that, and then also listening to the fucking AI overview for your terminal commaneds.
>>108238309Again, accusing the user because the OS is shit. Classic troonix behavior.
>Trying to make Linux workWhy don't we have a 4th OS made by autistic low-level coders already?
>>108239336It's not shit though, it just requires some level of knowledge. Knowledge which should be given easier, earlier, and without condescention.Now stop baiting.
>>108239336Windowspros:>works out of the box>can run vidya, ms office, photoshop>retard-proofcons:>jeet ai-agentic spyware>100GB install>will randomly shit the bed for no reason and there's nothing you can do except reboot and pray>retard proof = no user controlLinuxpros:>can do whatever the fuck you want>command line>never randomly breaks, always cause and effect>can fix problems yourselfcons:>can't run slop apps>you have to be literate and not retardedpick your poison. if youre a retard and want a retard-proof os then ofc stick with windows. going with linux you will just suffer.if you want to use linux you have to pay the price. some of us think its worth paying.

My completely tech illiterate buddy installed Fedora 3 days and has been playing games no problem. He even got WoW working with bottles. Why the fuck do people pick meme distros for their first distro? Stick to something tried and tested jesus christ you have nobody to blame but yourself.

>>108239734>memeZorin is literally a beginner distro. As is fedora, pop, mint, cachy, debian, and pretty much every popular distro.
>>108236528Real?I've used Zorin on a couple of computers and as my main OS for the past year.No issues whatsoever.Used it on a crappy 4GB RAM laptop with a sandy bridge CPU, and on a desktop with an Athlon 300GE CPU.Worked on my machines.
