I thought I’ll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!...

I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

What feature are you dying for to come to your DE - Linux? (lemmy.ml)

Which communication protocol or open standard in software do you wish was more common or used more?

Whether you’re really passionate about RPC, MQTT, Matrix or wayland, tell us more about the protocols or open standards you have strong opinions on!

What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?

It either runs on Linux or refund (lemmy.ml)

I feel like I’ve been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

Stop being elitist, spread Linux!

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

what caused you to get into Linux?

What caused you to get into it, are you an evangel and are you obsessed?

TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism (en.wikipedia.org)

Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?

I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia)....

Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

I have tried Linux as a DD on and off for years but about a year ago I decided to commit to it no matter the cost. First with Mint, then Ubuntu and a few others sprinkled in briefly. Both are “mainstream” “beginner friendly” distros, right? I don’t want anything too advanced, right?...
