Arch + Hyprland is a very power user focused setup.

If your aim is to replicate Windows you could look at Kubuntu (Ubuntu, but with KDE). However I personally love their Unity interface so if you're liking it, I say stick with it.

What OS are you using that requires alot of terminal use?

Don't get me wrong, the terminal is that thing that once you get the hang of it is amazing and you'll love.

But you shouldn't *need* to use it for most distros

[2] - Alternatively you can use Chimera OS if you don't want to follow the herd. It's another SteamOS-like distro

Ill definitely come off repetitive, but hear me out. Use Bazzite. It is (by design) SteamOS without being made by Valve.

I am not a fan of Manjaro for new users for this reason. Rolling Releases (especially Arch based ones) are great, but they do require some knowledge.

Firefox is open source.

Open source just means the code is publicly available for audit and can be compiled yourself. Makes it harder to hide malicious code (not impossible, just harder).

Mint is based on the Ubuntu LTS releases which only get major feature releases every 2 years.

That said running an older kernel on newer hardware isn't always terrible. Sometimes it can be mildly annoying.

Linux is a Kernel (basically the core of the OS)

Mint is an operating system. Operating systems combine a kernel and other software "packages" like the user interface, the web browser, the file manager, etc.

Mint uses Linux as their Kernel. So it's referred to as a "Linux "distribution"

A few years ago I toyed with an idea similar to this, just not exclusively Japanese market.

I legitimately can't wait to install Bazzite or some other SteamOS-like distro on this.

It's definitely one of the things that requires an adjustment period, but it *does* make sense once you use it a bit.

I was confused when I started too but I hate the Windows file system hierarchy these days.

Ask away, I'm sure many of us can help!

It's happening. They're in too deep. Someone post that xkcd comic.

In all seriousness, I think you'll be happiest by having your main machine be focused on stability and predictability and getting a cheap side machine to do all the fun stuff with. Soon you'll be doing LFS on it.

Most (if not all) Anti-Cheat vendors have Linux support now. Even the Kernel-level ones (they operate differently though).

We should really start saying "whose devs are blocking Linux users" instead of "that don't have linux compatibility".

I mean the point is the same, but this way we can point the blame directly at devs.

Fived'd

Everyone starts somewhere! Ubuntu is a perfectly fine and functional OS that just happens to have some dodgy ideas I disagree with.

I quite like their UI though.

Person has issue with software.
Person justifiably rants online.
Gets helpful information from said software users to solve and understand the issue.

Unrelated person: "Welcome to my Ted Talk about throwing tantrums at Strawmen. In this three hour lecture..."

Never change internet.

Minecraft Java has been on Linux basically since Notch was fucking around solo. Get it from the Minecraft Java site.

Minecraft Bedrock has a flatpak that someone made. You can install it from your distro's "Software Manager" provided it supports flathub (most do). You just search and install it.

Developers choose to block it because Kernel-level makes hunting for cheats easier.

Security vulnerability? Yes. But that's not important. There's money to be made.

EAC does actually support Linux, and it does (after the Steam Deck blew up the scene) support cross platform. But it's a separate system without Kernel-level access.

If I believe *really hard* that I'm in New Cross can I be in it?

I promise my non-corporeal form will take up very little space.

Not really. Gaming is pretty easy now. Most single player games work flawless and some work better.

The headache is some devs specifically block Linux in multiplayer. But there's plenty of Linux friendly multiplayer to be had.

Somewhere out there is a cryptobro saying it looks fucking delicious

"lol Doctor Who so fucking dead. Worst season ever. They've really lost the plot. Didn't even have Daleks."

Liz Truss = Rich Tea - Bland, flavourless, falls apart instantly upon dunking and permanently ruins your cup of tea

I'm sure they can more thoroughly cover the plot without resorting to Rowling's signature "Lets drop what we're doing and awkwardly have 40 minutes of exposition" writing style.

Deathly Hallows was an absolute mess because of plot elements dropped from earlier movies.

I was promised AI's that were buxom, green haired, trident wielding femme fatales.

You lied to me Gavin!

You're welcome

RTD: "I'm gonna do that thing you guys always think is gonna happen!"

Doctor Who fans: "Oh fuck which one?"

RTD: "Yes"

Can't you use your really long arm to figure it out?
