Prove me wrong.

>Prove me wrong.
No need. Most will stay on Windows.
>>
>>109765759
The fact that NixOS (the most beginner-friendly distro in existence) isn't on this list proves you are wrong.
>>
>>109765759
If you want to use Linux use Ubuntu that's where all the precompiled proprietary softwares are, everything else is a huge waste of time
>>
>>109765830
>have to learn a programming language to use it
>beginner-friendly
>>109765860
Wrong. They are always available in .rpm format and the .deb installers generally work on Debian tool.
>>
>>109765871
I'd argue HTML is harder than Nix.
>>
>>109765904
I don't need to learn HTML to install any other operating system, bro.
>>
>>109765871
Point is Ubuntu is always what's referenced in every docs. But yes true you can usually make shit work on debian

Lmao. Arguably true of GNU Guix System + Emacs tho because autistic GNU info page documentation that assumes you never touched a computer before. A very patient beginner could probably do Emacs tutorial -> *info* tutorial -> Elisp intro -> GNU Guix while consulting Guile and bash docs. You'd learn more about GNU/Linux than the average Arch user who never grow out of copying commands from forums/LLMs. Without ever needing the internet.

It's all Linux under the hood. What will be substantively inapplicable to Debian or even Fedora when reading a proprietary program's Ubuntu docs?

Which is what happens 95% of the time.
Your "guide" is an utter failure if it doesn't cover by far the most common case.

Here, allow me:

Do you like team sports: Distro watch, /g/ Desktop threads, /unixporn/, youtube "sports team of choice here".

Do you like spending gigabytes a day "updating" for features and functions in software you will never use or even understand: Arch

Do you like using your computer: Debian

no

install gentoo

>>109765759
heres a guide: install arch linux. it literally just works.
>>
>>109766232
Hmm, interesting, instead of addressing the point you instead created a false reality to attack.

Don't care still on windows 10 iot ltsc fuck troonix.

How many little pithy back and forths do we do before we just stop? Because the terminal-end of this conversation is admitting that updating software, in fact the entire software stack for features and functions 99% of people do not understand or use - clearly has no real world applicable use-case.
Real use-case for updates come from professionals looking to utilize the new functions in a work environment. Not (you) sitting at home on your rice, updooted distro, wherein you spend the majority of your time in a browser.

So micro-niched into a hobby sub-genre are you, that you and others like you truly believe you're 'progressing' through said hobby by updating your system. Mind you the entire process is basically automated, but those little lines of input... "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade"... Carry so much weight in your mind, that you believe it has tangible merit.

Unless, ofc you can objectively list the last 10 updates to your system and point out the key areas where you've seen benefit from said updates. Something that raises above just pure vibes a la, "it just fixes stuff bro". But we all know you cannot, and won't. Ergo the pithy back and forths without substance. (im not going to reply to you because this post has encapsulated your defeat and concession)

What linux distro will let me know I can play any game, use any mod or software without having to ask if it works on linux or jump through a bunch of hoops to not make it run like shit?
>>
>>109765759
It is generally true that Fedora KDE is the best default recommendation to Windows users in the current year (HEVC doesn't work OOTB but they're used to that lmao) but the flowchart could do with less blatant bait.
>>
>>109766393
Sorry chatgpt, I'm not reading all that. Can you shorten your response to 1 maybe 2 sentences?
>>
>>109765759
Replace KDE with Guhnome (with dash-to-panel and desktop icons) and it's pretty on the nose

>less software available
Debian has the largest repo of any distro by far.
>>109766347
Imagine calling it Troonix when this is who's making your operating system:
>>
>>109766471
They do. Almost all Linux users are running software that's 2-4 years (4-6 years by the end of the LTS period) out of date. The entirety of all the software they use at any given time. This makes upstream documentation useless.
>>
>>109765830
redo nix configurations in toml if theyre so declarative or redo them in perl. literally use perl, instead of making me learn your bullshit memelang to install your bullshit memedist. also obviously javascript is the language of the internet so use javascript and python is the preferred language of idiots so use python. the problem with your bullshit language is i dont want to learn your bullshit type system
>>

Troonix still can't top windows 95.
If troonix tinker trannies can't surpass a 31 year old operating system especially now it's being run by your pic related doesn't that say more about troonix than microslop?
>>
>>109766829
Windows 10/11 can't surpass Windows 95. If Win7 still was a viable operating system I'd still use Win7.
But no, I am forced to use Linux instead. I respect myself too much to subject myself to the utter humiliation ritual that is using modern-day Microslop products.
