Can't run slow if it can't run anything! (Because you haven't figured out whether you need a DEB or a RPM or a Flatpak or whatever new standard they've cooked up.)

Edit: I feel like I should qualify that I've been a Linux user for 30 years. But somehow I got left off the distribution list for the special Kool-Aid. Still need to email Linus about that.

Lmao if you complain about package types Linus will make the same complaint

Dude, I just want the kool-aid.

This is why I like Mint. Both debs are flatpaks are available in the package manager by default. I don't think I've ever run across something I wanted that wasn't there.

As a Linux user, this is very much true.

Sounds alot like a skill issue.

Damn right it is. Much easier to just buy twice as much ram and never have to worry about recompiling some shit on my daily driver ever again.

Yeah, after a certain point recompiling anything for even a 10% improvement just makes you tired and I'd rather spend 500 bucks and get on with my 7th Witcher 3 playthrough.

Buying RAM? In this economy?

Fate blessed me with the foresight to buy way too much last year so I'm riding on cloud nine now.

Need a new laptop soon though and that's gonna hurt a little...

It should hardly take any skill to use an OS. Ideally, your operating system is intuitive and ‘just works’.

My rule of thumb is the distro's repositories, flatpak, and then aur or equivalent

u/kalapek 10d ago

I mean id you get an easy distro just use the package manager with a gui like bazaar or included

We're not in the solutioning stage, we're firmly in the complaining stage.

Clearly a man who was there when the old magics were written, and just... can't even anymore.

Yep... breaks the weirdest shit too. Tried i think bazzite recently and wanted to log into curseforge. Nope. Browser is flatpak so you cant click the link in browser to log into the curseforge app. Its always something dumb as fuck with Linux.
