i love the lil tiny wolf in the top corner hehe

Do i need to live another life to make linux work?

No, but do bear in mind that switching to Linux will have a learning curve, and it sounds a bit like you’re expecting to be able to do everything you did on windows on linux without having to change your behaviour.

My advice is to start off with all the defaults of whatever distro you are using, and only installing packaged software for it, and just getting to a point where it is comfortable.

Most problems on linux (that I’ve found) either come from hardware being faulty ir unsupported, or that the user doesn’t understand how it works, but is trying to force it to work how they want it to. Both can be fixed with becoming more familiar with how Linux works.

This would also help you to understand why there are so many different distros (I do recommend distrowatch.com to quickly look up details about distros), as most differ in ways that require a bit of Linux knowledge to understand.

so tldr just stick with it and try and learn how it works meow :3

no spaces in a string is a dead giveaway that theres Cobol in there somewhere meow

i suppose if ur a language perscriptivist it does, but like… idm free OSes coming with nonfree drivers. theyr doing the best they can in a hostile environment

GNU does not dictate what is counted as free meow :/

in my opinion it can still be counted as free if it plays nicely with nonfree stuff. the whole Free thibg shouldnt dictate that free software is wholly hostile to nonfree softwarez

void boots fast on rather old or very low powered copmuters :3

i would like opensourceing meows, also like " heil Hitler" isnt antiisreal, is antisemitic meows. i dont like isreal but i dont like nazis either

immediate antisemitism and nazi stuff :/

someone being a dickhead givs me the right to say im no t sure about their product, bc theyre a dickhead mrow. this is good journalism, as it shows not only where the product is, but where it may be going (and a link so u can see for urselfs). OP dids a very good job if u want me dead i havethe right to tell u to go fuck urself :3

u just need kde, as hitting ‘get new widgets’ in da widgets sidebar uses the same backend, meow

so u just need to search for catwalk in there :3

wayland is great, unfortunately: nvidia

ur use case is valid, but not that which lemmy is designed for, an i doubt stricter rules would be possible, and seriously doubt that u could make lemmy into something like that.

my opinion is that what ur after is a custom website that collates unixporn posts (with op permission) like a booru or something similar, which has a more robust tagging and sorting system.

imo unixporn is not a shopping catalogue like u want it to be, it is a anarchist art gallery where people come to share and see setups

this idea feels better suited to someone creating a small database thing out of unixporn posts.

imo, the art gallery thing is intentional. here is where u get inspiration, not instruction mrow.

for more touchscreen usage,pop!_os

otherwise, kubuntu or some other kde de distro

hehe im both arch n void :3 (also yes pls kissess)

remember kids, always use git condom

hmm ill take a look, though idk it sounds a bit like a facebook clone and thats not what im looking for, but thanks for ur help !! :3

i do know cohost, but id prefer fediversed and foss stuff ideally cuz like walled gardens n stuff >w<
