Idk who needs to hear it, but stop buying this shit. If it has a computer inside, but you can't flash your own software onto it, just pass. If you're unsure, look around, find the nearest Linux user and ask for help.

You won't even have to ask if they use Linux, they'll tell you.

Nobara btw.

And my... hang on, I just need to apply this tweak from the wiki...

And my axe!

I am ashamed to say I'm an ex-Arch user. I really liked Arch, but if you go long periods without updating it it becomes really painful when you do eventually apply updates. I got tired of finally booting some system I hadn't touched in a year to work on something or other attempting to apply updates to it, and then spending the next 6 hours fixing everything that broke because one of the updates from last week applied before one from 10 months ago that it depended on, or some config file I touched once 3 years ago changed and needs manual fixing now.

Yeah I was a Gentoo user a long time ago so when I finally installed Arch I had a little mental note in the back of my head to update every week unless I wanted to sort out things I shouldn't have to sort out.

Have my babies, EndeavourOS!

[-] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

Gentoo users, start compiling for the assembly next month!

(I don't use gentoo btw)

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

So, is that a right away thing, or does that mean 2 or 3 weeks from now?

j/k

Shouldn't it be Desbian?

Hey, not all of us Debian users are lesbians.

It would be more accurate to call us lovers of lesbians.

Oh yea. There's definitely still time.

Got any tips or tidbits for Nobara? I'm heavily considering installing it onto my new PC when I build it in a week. I'm a noob at Linux but it seemed perfect for everything I'm looking to do on my PC.

I recommend Bazzite instead. It's based on Universal Blue (which is actually based on Fedora Atomic) and gives you a super easy and stable experience.
