Are you a bot lmao it looks nothing like lcars

This is cool but why can’t we change the whole theme😖

Any inconveniences you’ve noticed with Graphene? For example I’ve heard tap to pay functionality doesn’t work.

Well said, I was thinking maybe the entire reason OPs charisma is -1 is because they’re out there trying to convince people to do something instead of just doing their own thing.

I agree re: Fedora, especially the atomic varieties. I do think Zorin is good at what it is but it has a pretty specific use case.

Also, had no idea you were also in this community. Pleasant surprise.

Had the same thought, it’s always nice to encounter a civilized person of distinguished taste and culture out here in the wilds.

Turns out good web design skills does not always translate into other skills.

Even without costs you will always have some faction of FOSS users who view UIs and user-friendliness to be something that can be optimized away (and will always, always, let you know their feelings on the topic).

It’s not a scam at all, Zorin is a good distro.

10/10 this is the future of Linux

Totally agree

Back in the day Nike was fashion-non-grata due to their well known child labor practices. The fact that they reinvented the brand to the degree that they actually became aligned with punk/skater culture still blows my mind. Advertising is a powerful tool.

I’m very familliar with the “Year of the Linux Desktop” joke but I also can’t remember a time previously when Linux was getting this level of mainstream attention.

op asked about the r/linux community which was not mentioned in either of your comments

+1 for Fedora. I recommend Kinoite as it is very similar to windows and very hard to break due to it’s “immutability”.

Bazzite is very similar to Fedora Kinoite but made to be easy for gaming.

I’m having trouble following, you’re suggesting that the Linux subreddit continues to exist because of some corporate conspiracy to keep users on commercial media platforms?

Yeah you’re right, “atomic” is not the same thing as “immutable”, but they are related terms and OP appeared to be using them interchangeably so 🤷‍♀️

I didn’t say bricking, I was responding to the bit you wrote about immutability being “a fad”.

Immuteability is what enabled me to finally switch over full time. I don’t think a lot of geeks yet realize how huge they are going to be for wider-spread adoption.

idk I’ve gotten mine into a state i couldnt fix more times than I can count. Immuteable distros have been a game changer for me and if I’m being honest I think they’re going to be the biggest thing for mainstream adoption in Linux’s entire history.

Haven’t used the command line since installing Kinoite, it’s… weird.
