Day 2: I have discovered nixOS. This video explained me why its better than mint.
ROFL The scary distro that can take hours to implement, precise specific changes declaratively. Whereas, Mint is not a terrible little distro.
i would go on the barricades as hes not ready and if he does not listen i just tell him about FOSS he could try out
Heh, I am sure that he would honestly listen to reason and not immediately just jump into one of the distros with the highest difficulty curves known to Linux users. ROFL Mint is just so cute, manageble for a first timer. NixOS, in comparison to Arch just feels like a time sink beyond measure, as you have to learn NixLang, very carefully declare everything. For a basic set-up, it doesn’t feel particularly painful, but when you open up the can of worms that is Dendritic Flakes, Flakes, etc. Oofta, I say just let someone else enjoy that fussy business.
To be fair, I use an Arch-based distro so most of the hard work was done for me…One day, I will enjoy the full Arch experience. ROFL But not right now while I am getting certified for Python or C, post certification is the best time for that task!
Someone was trying to play wow on “a laptop my dad gave me”
8gb ram, 620 Intel graphics, someone popped into our channel and said “whostosay, we need you”
When I got into their channel the guy said “wait is this the guy”
Fuckin rad. That little shit box didn’t want to run it, but we made it run it.
It already had fedora, props to pops
how does a game released two years after windows fucking xp not scale down to 8gb of ram
Yeah like that other guy said, it’s not quite the same game, textures are way larger, the issue was more in the integrated 620 graphics, but it ran. Shittily, but it ran.
Years of expansions after that initial release.
Symbolic image of their to-be linux machine?
will probably run better than latest windows pc anyway 😄
yes
I investigated this image and after careful review, this is NOT a “Wednesday My Dude” toad.
its also in fact not Wednesday
it’s always Wednesday somewhere
It’ Wednesday in our hearts. 😔
It is tubersday
This post was fact checked by REAL DUDES
It is in Japan, New Zealand, and eastern Australia. Probably additional places as well!
We’ve been spudwinked!
doing my part, i’ve converted three to bazzite in the last three months too
Prepare to become their life-long Linux hotline: “Come on you got me on this thing”
luckely i have a lot of techy people around me so i probably can handle it. So the question is more if he can handle me
Pulling out the uno reverse 😭
yeah like why would someone do this to themselves lol
because i like being seen as a smart one
famous last words! lol just kidding, good luck 💪
“Explain one more time how fdisk works”
You see, you change one character and save to prevent your PC from booting.

My boomer coworker now uses Linux Mint. 😉
That was me yesterday…
Nice! That’s awesome.
Okay, but does this potato run Arch?
maybe. I will bring my laptop to work and try to show him some options with ventoy
Thank you for doing your part
Snapshots are cool but you should teach them how to maintain a real backup: a separate partition and/or drive to store their files and a copy of the operating system partition to restore to in case of bork.
Have 2 dist
Cool
