I have learned absolutely nothing about the strengths and weaknesses of each distro, just learned which ones are difficult to install.
We will perhaps never beat adobe but nowadays there are some amazing tools!
… Which are developed for windows as well. Haha.
Second but I use Nobara with KDE.
Linux is the modern OS and windows is just a bunch of old removedty technology in a trench suit.
I try my best, but this is not a level I’ve achieved yet.
I commend your open-minded behavior.
Bad take but I do prefer my keyboards to have big nipples
While my mind isn’t often changed, I try to thank people for offering their own perspective or the contrary take to mine.
I havent heard of this before and its got a really well done website, seems great.
I’m new to linux DE stuff but I think I have adwaita things on Nobara (Fedora) with KDE. 🤷♀️
I’m new to this but KDE basically has all of the aesthetics customization features and quality of life features I always wanted out of Windows + Rainmeter. Finally I can have my videos pinned on the top easily every time. Finally I can have my fancy widgets. I can have universal color themes and fonts beyond what Windows ever offered. So there is more abstract stuff out there, but for now I’m living the long lost dream.
You’ve probably figured this out by now but KDE has all the theming and rainmeter style widgets available. I just installed most of my desktop aesthetics direct from the System Settings on KDE, it’s mostly Catppuccin Mocha. Had to search for the Github for it to find some cool basic wallpapers that matched the theme perfectly.
Steam has some weird issues and I had it set to launch in terminal so the progress and errors get posted in there. Then I could search the web with the error codes. I don’t know the command though.
For games try ProtonDB.com, and then sort by “Tweaks” or whatever to see what people did to make the game run correctly.
Yep, found this page, the commands don’t work, I followed this in my search engine, and forums said the AMD open drivers are built into the kernel.
Now the proprietary ones (Mesa, OpenCL)? Dunno. I’m on Nobara because that stuff is set up to be one click.
You’ve gotta remember, just because the norm is one way - there’s an audience out there for which this would be a safety improvement.
I really like design! Little buttons and colors and all those bits of tweaking. I’ve been looking more at projects on Lemmy to see how their UIs are coded, but I think the tools and frameworks all sorta run back to HTML/CSS/JavaScript so like if I learned that then I’d understand how to use Qt, PyQt, or Kotlin. Idk. I think designers tend to contract themselves to capital so the idea of an open source UI developer sounds goofy, but fun.
Dog I just told it I wanna game and have game Dev supported distro. Guess what? OpenSUSE, Zorin, and every flavor of Ubuntu. I was assuming it would tell me Fedora/Nobara, Ubuntu, and Debian Stable.
I used to think this was sound advice but I’m on KDE Plasma and it’s almost exactly like windows but with the Alt-F2 search menu, stay on top is installed by default. I don’t know all the desktop environment options but it sounds like there’s more reasonable options.
I know of Arch wiki, but are there wiki’s explaining easier distros? I’m on Nobara, because I want to game, but perhaps I could be learning to configure and install some of these tools to be able to one day use any distro for whatever I wanna do?
I’m sure you’ve heard this but just to reiterate, I’m super excited for this and I’m proud of you
