Package management in central is a bit of an issue. I think nix has the right approach where it's incredibly difficult to create a package that won't work on x system. I think appimage flatpak and snap all work in a similar way
Pip is a right pain in the arse though, if I had a nickel for every time a pip install has failed for some specific package with an esoteric error message...
The working out analogy is great, everyone with a technical job involving computers probably should keep a Linux machine, switching to it has skyrocketed my knowledge on computers in general
It's difficult though, I would compare daily driving it with cycling into work instead of driving, it's fun and good for you but constant effort
Vim felt like having superpowers when I started with it, after being spoiled by helix it feels like a relic though
Is that autotiling on cinnamon? Didn't know it could do that
Wow from the sounds of it they're gonna lose like, 400 dollars out of this debacle
I love when shows have subtle nods to show their support for these things rather than having to draw as much attention as possible to how progressive they are being
They refunding people or was it free to play?
Need hardware with it pre installed with a reason to buy other than because it has Linux
Maybe use the lack of a requirement for a Windows license to bring the price to performance ratio down
If they're really performant machines also helps break the idea Linux is only for old and slow machines, I only ever used to put it on laptops as they were reaching the end of their usefulness, the moment I put it on my pc and a new laptop it changed my perception on it entirely
I also think the majority of technical users still use windows, maybe we should concentrate on getting them first and maybe we'll see more support
I'm out of the loop did they un-release the game?
Problem is buying a car most of the different brands are quite different, there are so many distros that are just Ubuntu underneath that are basically identical with a different desktop
Those are decisions about things everyone already understands, choosing a distro for a new user is like deciding what your favourite photo is from a blurry, black and white album
Super easy to do nowadays, everything I write is cross platform just by virtue of every programming language I use being that way provided I'm somewhat mindful about it
