It’s great for getting a feel for how things are done, imo.

But yes a crutch you should gradually stop relying on.

Surely an unpopular opinion lol.

Python is a great first language.

Bring on the chunked 🤘

Dev is great and very responsive. I suggested keyboard shortcuts on GitHub and he was already working on it 😎.

There’s not much to it. You just use the determinate installer. Works great.

Tried it after reading the article. I’m used to using tiling assistant.

It’s nice but, man I also would like some keyboard shortcuts!

Edit: Suggested shortcuts on GitHub and the dev is already working on it 😎

For simple use cases… Linux can actually be a lot more hands off and just works.

It’s actually pretty great for the grandparent use case.

I’ve been with Fedora for awhile now because I like the project and how it pushes things forward. Changed to Silverblue and never returned.

Now I’m using Bluefin because I like the little tweaks on top of Silverblue. Would recommend.

Have you checked out Aurora?

Bluefin, very happy. Nice toys on top of an atomic Silverblue base. Love the concept.

Don’t be ridiculous…. Now an AI powered bidet that really gets the shit off your butthole…

Well that’s interesting 😎

I never like the idea of TOTP in your password database.

I suggest Autohotkey ;)

Like Ubuntu, I like that Fedora is backed by a big company. Fedora is quite good at pushing the Linux ecosystem forward and often adopts and pushes new technology before other distros (flatpaks, Wayland, pipewire, btrfs etc.) that all Linux distros eventually benefit from.

Ubuntu on the other hands seems to want to be the Microsoft of Linux… which is not a compliment. I’ve been put off by things like their pushing of snap packages.

I personally like the stock gnome (on a laptop) or kde (on a desktop) desktops over the cinnamon mint desktop (but mint is closer to windows). Fedora is pretty close to stock (gnome by default).

Fedora has great flatpak integration for installing apps (think App Store) which is my preferred way to do it. Mint has this as well.

Fedora also has semi rolling releases and constant updates, which I prefer over Linux Mint’s 2 year release cycles (this doesn’t matter for any software you install from flatpaks).

I wouldn’t recommend arch as a first distro imo. I don’t see what the advantage would be for a newbie.

Personally I would recommend Fedora.

:q!

Is this a thing in Canada yet? Thankfully have never seen it here.

But is Qwant going to be default?

I have 2 kids under 3…
