That’d be great I’d say

Glad you’re using GOG too. Great platform considering the alternatives

There’s a transcript in the description and this is on tilvids, a FOSS fediverse platform which does not financially benefit the uploader

Sorry to hear that. I’ve had no issue with the debuggers available in neovim personally though. A bit hard to set up dap and dap ui but once it’s there it’s golden

Holy shit man I actually do that. My DND group suggested it as a joke and I thought it would be funny to try on can but found out very quick it’s fucking fantastic. I’m so glad to know it’s a thing elsewhere

OK the tortilla chips idea is wild. I’m going with that this time instead of flower

You are a king

OK not sure how that’ll help but I’ve got it in my pipe now. Or should I go with rolling papers?

I like cayenne but come in man, at a point you’re just serving a moist bowl of powdered cayenne

Completely agree

I don’t think we do personally. I don’t love the gamification of social media and disagree with karma as a system of trust. I think visible karma is detrimental and has made upvoting more “I like this post and this person” rather than “I think more people should see this”

System76 is also a good option especially if you’re american. They have a broader option set too

On power management though I’m umsure if you’ll get the results you want. It’s hell on windows, hell on Linux, and only within the past few years improved on Mac.

You may find better suspend on a laptop made for Linux though but I don’t want to get your hopes up too greatly.

Other options for good laptops though are starlabs and tuxedo computers. On tuxedo make sure you get the right language and layout for your country

On framework I can personally vouch for them. I have had great experiences with the 13 and there’s a dedicated community happy to help on their forum. Friendly people.

As for slimbook friends of mine who have them have had good experiances too

I think this stands. This isn’t asking for support or usage but the philosophy of not making karma visible. This community may not be all about lemmy but I’d argue it fits

Nice

Of course there’s the suggestion of installing KDE plasma on PopOS! Which will work quite well but to give some info on the others:

KDE neon is mostly for devs and is less well maintained than other distros. Still definitly not a bad choice.

Tumbleweed stronk. Definitly out of what you say my preference though yes, it’s not deb based. You should be able to get what you want though through the app store and the open build service. Really it’s discouraged to find random .debs online and install but OpenSUSE runs on .rpm which are fairly commom.

Kubuntu is also good. Last time I checked it’s a bit slower moving than pop but that’s not inherently bad. Definitly a great “It-just-works” distro. Some people, myself included, dislike snaps which are built in but if you don’t know what they are I doubt you’ll care. Most of the hate is overblown.

I’d caution against endeavor as it’s arch based. It’ll demand more from you, stuff will definitly not just work all the time,and if an issue arises it’ll be the first to catch it. Like the grub rescue error that showed up about a year or so ago.

Don’t use Manjaro. The devs are incompetent and destructive to the ecosystem.

Debian is also chill. There’s always unstable (can’t remember the current name. Debian Trixie?) For something that’s more up to date

Last thing no matter what distro, just like an exe, a .deb is just an archival format like .zip and can be taken apart to be manually installed. I understand not wanting to do this though lol and it’s not always that simple

A while back, somewhere around Linux 5.17, some Intel chips in laptops caused the Linux kernal to rapidly set backlight brightness to 100% then zero. This flashing would likely cause it to break. That’s the last one I remember only a year or so ago.

This only effected arch an it’s varients to my knowledge though, as they were the first to recieve the update, and it was fixed very quickly. To my knowledge nobodies systems were broken from this.

Aight, Glad for the warning. Couldn’t care less if they take it out this is on my “no go” list.

Rebecca black Linux is for the real men though.

Most forward thinking distro. First to ship with Wayland by default and the only of the three still getting constant updates.

No competitor really. It’s always Friday Friday, gotta boot up on Friday with rbos my friends

The issue with that is potentially keeping software which has security bugs on your system for longer than needed. Also, if you install new software you’ll have a partial upgrade which can degrade your system. If you don’t install anything though, your system should work as it currently does without issue. Unless a particular app takes something from the internet which may need the upgraded software (say, discord, spotify, etc. as they’re electron based.)

If that’s what you want to do I would suggest switching to xubuntu, mint xfce edition, DSL, etc. as they’ll still patch security updates in. You do you though of course as with your stated usecase I can’t see any functional issue. I don’t see the reason for arch though.

Sure, but that wasn’t malicious code hacking your device just a simple phishing scheme. The aur runs arbitrary code each time which can do quite alot more on your system than any snap. That snap was just a fake app that sent your login to their server.

The aur is much more dangerous. Of course, when installing anything from anywhere be careful, but with the aur you need to be able to read the pkgbuild.

Thank you though for cautioning the snap store as you’re right. Those apps aren’t confirmed before they’re placed on the store
