alteropen , to linux in Stop being elitist, spread Linux!

@jackpot Then they ask what's a bios? what's a product key? how do boot from USB? there is huge details your missing maybe for a Linux native 15 minutes seams reasonable but my first install took maybe 45 mins, and I'm tech competent.

Also people will be asking how do they copy over their data already on windows. The other question for many is why would I want to? sadly the general population doesnt care about open source

alteropen , to linux in Can I pre-install Ubuntu on an SSD?

@Hazmatastic @theredcaps I think it is a bandwidth concern, especially if multiple people will be streaming from the server. WiFi is unstable too its part in parcel, wired is just required if you need something that's stable

alteropen , to linux in Canonical lifts lid on more Ubuntu Core Desktop details

@caseyweederman @makingStuffForFun the prediction imperative will come in before that. surveillance capitalism is how they will make their fortune

alteropen , to linux in I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

@Strit @blakeus12 forgot about element, but its sadly quite a terrible client on Linux. although that could be the fault of my nvidia graphics

@bappity no yeah totally I used it for ages it just sucks there is no truly independent privacy orientated browser. the closest thing to that is brave search

@bappity @asexualchangeling sadly duck duck go is basically just a bing proxy

alteropen , to linux in Trying Fedora. Never rebooted so often in my life

@danielfgom ah I see well either way even if fedora put a backdoor in it wouldnt exactly be a secret. maybe a compromised iso from their main website but people would quickly raise the alarm over the hashes

alteropen , to linux in Trying Fedora. Never rebooted so often in my life

@danielfgom @cygnus fedora is as independent of red hat as Linux mint is independent of canonical. At least as far as I know

alteropen , to linux in It either runs on Linux or refund

@flashgnash yeah they work in proton... that's not native linux. porting a windows game to native Linux is more trouble that its worth for most devs hence projects like proton

alteropen , to linux in What distro to choose in parallel to steamos

@thethirdobject @iHUNTcriminals I would say its a no brainer if you mainly use a laptop with a trackpad. its feels like the de is setup for laptops and has great gesture support. the desktop experience is also good though once you install a handful of extensions and configure the keyboard shortcuts

alteropen , to linux in It either runs on Linux or refund

@Rooty even 3 - 5% is not worth it for a lot of devs for the amount of time it would take. you must also consider every update also needing the same care taken to it. financially small devs don't have the resources and big devs know it would eat into their profits

alteropen , to linux in It either runs on Linux or refund

@Rooty @Uluganda you mean apart from the extra work it takes for devs to give support to the platform, a platform where they will get less than 1% of sales.

saying "theres no excuse" is just delusional

alteropen , to linux in Trying to get my partner to switch from Windows to Linux. Has anyone tried Scrivener with Wine?

@nottheengineer what do you suggest? problem is I'm limited since my home server is a raspberry pi so I'm limited to distros that support arm

I should probably give Debian a try, but I never had a good experience with Debian desktop.

alteropen , to linux in Trying to get my partner to switch from Windows to Linux. Has anyone tried Scrivener with Wine?

@nottheengineer well thanks for letting me know anyway, this probably explains a lot of the docker issues I have been encountering which are "snap only" problems, despite me installing through apt

alteropen , to linux in Trying to get my partner to switch from Windows to Linux. Has anyone tried Scrivener with Wine?

@nottheengineer is this also the case with Ubuntu server? If so is there a way to turn that shit off,
