Can I go an hour without eating pickles? If I fail, I’m deleting my comment. [EDIT: It was a close one, but I made it ! This comment is here to stay ! Celebratory pickle time.]

among I would assume others

I like how this comment aknowledges the possibility that all elephants call each-other Margaret.

Thanks!

I guess I could upload the kra files (there are four of them since I made each panel separately, exported them to png and arranged them a fourth krita doc). Tho if I did that, would it even count as open source? A .kra file isn’t really a source code, it’s an archive that contains binaries.

He’ll get very virulent in the X vs Wayland debate before he even learns what these mean.

How about systemd-windows?

I would not recommend Arch for beginners. I like it, but it’s best for someone a bit familiar with Linux already. Yeah, the install is pretty simple now that Archinstall is a thing, but it’s not the method recommended in the Arch Wiki and if there’s something wrong with your install and you complain on the Arch Forum they might not be super helpful.

More generally, the mood on the Arch forum and Arch communities at large isn’t super beginner friendly, and thay’s understandable: In a distro meant to be user friendly and aimed at general user, if the user does what seems natural to them and the system break, the community will feel a responsibility towards them, because the system wasn’t stable and user-friendly enough. In a distro primarily aimed at power users and devs, if the user does what seems natural to them and the system breaks, then the user is a fool and should’ve read the wiki.

Because it is a very fast rolling release, some updates can break stuff. It doesn’t happen often, but it can happen at a bad time and be a big problem for someone who doesn’t know how to deal with it.

Debian is more stable, and easier if you go with a D.E, but you still have to make several choices during the install, which might be a bit complicated for a beginner who doesn’t know what any of these options mean… Tho of course, it’s possible to go with all the defaults and it’ll be alright.

But my prime recommendation would be Linux Mint.

Keep breaking my system while trying to fix bugs, then fix or reinstall, distro-hop when I’m out of bugs, call it permanent revolution.

I’d switched from i3 to sway, but the click offset in Krita made me switch back.

I heard a guy once tried to make his Linux work without compiling Hannah Montana Linux. It was obviously a failure from the start, but the madman raged on. In his hubris, he obstinately weaved lines of code to make something… Anything that would seem to function as an OS, at least from the surface, no matter what cursed and bloated horrors laid beneath.

An insane smile cracked on his face as lightning in the night sky as he’d finally made his monitor display a pop-up window that read “hello world”. Soon he’d ironed out the details of all the other stuff an OS was supposed to do, an released his abomination upon the market… Keeping it closed source so no-one could see what sacrilege he’d done to get there, and also so that he could make a buttload of money.

Thus was born Microsoft Windows.

So there’s the time I converted my partition table from MBR to GPT and it corrupted everything on it so I had to reinstall. Took this opportunity to switch from Mint to Arch, something I’d been thinking of doing for a while.

Once on Arch, I had much more opportunities to make epic mistakes: For example not putting enough room on my root partition (home was on a separate one), so after a while I had to reinstall.

I still haven’t found the solution, have you had any luck with yours?

I tried switching every UEFI setting that seemed to have something to do with booting or gpus, reinstalled gpu bios, upgrading mobo bios, getting a monitor I could plug without a switch… All to no avail.

Well, I think before upgrading the BIOS, one thing had a slightly different result: Setting the boot mode to UEFI and disabling CSM made it display “no gop (graphic output protocol)” after a few minutes, and it offered to either take me to the uefi settings or loading defaults (which implied going back to CSM), after which it boot this time go back to doing the same thing.

I don’t think I’ve had this error since the mobo bios upgrade, but still no display unless I reboot, unless the computer had been turned in until recently. I’m kinda out of ideas…

I wonder what would offend Linus more: A version of the Linux Kernel with C++ or one that breaks the userspace…

It’s not that any of us really like SteamOS per se, but the work Valve devs did on graphic drivers and Proton benefits all distros thanks to the GPL.

I simply move my hand between two well defined positions to make bits, if I do it very quickly I can compute.

Are we gonna do every animal now? Ok, I’m in.

Maybe it was, just not my intention. Rather, that of the Open Clan’s spirit which guided my hand.
