Working pc with low effort? Just use Linux Mint. Is basically an Ubuntu without bloat and less strict on packages. Also cinnamon as desktop is both super windows-familiar and customizable with close to no need for the terminal.
Gaming pc fast and updated? Catchy OS with a KDE plasma desktop. So you can say to other “I use Arch (derivate) btw”.
OH NO! NOT FREE OPTIONS! I hate it when I can try multiple things at no cost! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
I am linux mint - cinnamon.
I’m a Linux > Ubuntu > Gnome type of girl. I don’t know what any of that means but those are how I use my linux.
Just use Ubuntu, God damnit.
___ Linux Mint all the way 💃💫✨
So far, I’m Arch with KDE as my top pick (cachyOS).
When i had to start troubleshooting issues for my wife’s laptop and kids PCs, I switched everyone back to windows so I could have some peace. Its unfortunate.
choosing a linux distro can be hard for newcomers. that’s why i recommend going on distrowatch and picking a easy to use distro. i know it’s weird advice but thats how i wound up picking a linux distro and never looked back.
OP is posting AI slop and plagiarizing other people’s work. Lead image seems a cyanide and happiness cartoon, but it’s a blatent ripoff, and they watermarked it with their own username to boot. And no communication out transparency around any of that as well
Holy sneaky AI image, Batman!
I started building my own kernel day 1 because I’m a techno masochist.
Choice is good when you can make an informed choice. Choice is bad if you are forced to make a decisions where you have no idea of the consequences.
Having to learn and inform yourself of your options is truly among the most terrifying experiences of the modern person
Worst when the newcomers chose Arch because they’ve heard is very configurable.
Then complain that Linux is hard.
I love Lemmy. I hate AI posters.
Where AI?
OP has posted AI before. look at their profile, they watermarked this cyanide and happiness ripoff too.
I don’t get the point of watermarking AI images. Like, you didn’t even make it, why would you be so worried about it being stolen?
AI “artists” are weirdly very protective of their “”“craft”“”
And the fact that watermark is so easy to remove
Can you use AI to do it?
This is how all artists behave… Very protective of there works and f*** whatever they borrowed in making it…
think Minecraft modders they can mod Minecraft but oh the drama if you mod their mod… Maybe there is just a line the big frnchise is no longer protected… But this is not how people debate this issue.
This is how many commercial artists behave.
FTFY
Not to mention that it was generated based on stolen content. The irony.
There’s a few tell tale signs but look at the USB ports on the laptop.
Also the weird facial expressions that don’t really match the vibe. Why is he smiling when seeing the list of distro? Why is he quivering in fear when asking how many there are? Why is he suddenly fine when picking one?
Weird expression you say?

At this point you’re just nitpicking
Ah, I see.

Glad I’m not the only one that thought this was an AI comic.
EDIT: and had that thought confirmed.
Thought? This IS an AI comic.
Wasn’t trying to imply it wasn’t. My bad.
doesn’t seem like AI, what makes you think so?
I’ve seen enough AI generated media to know when one is AI.
