I've never bought options before, but I'm in for 10grand and shorting the shit out of this.

I'm impressed there isn't yet anyone who's suggesting arch btw and dead serious about it.

But Pop!_OS without a doubt.

At this stage I suspect its just 3 kids in a trenchcoat.

I hate this aspect of Linux. I spent countless days trying to figure this shit out on Tumbleweed. Turns out you have to manually install codecs. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_codecs_from_Packman_repositories

You wouldn’t know this because it really isn’t hinted anywhere until you notice your CPU going into overdrive when you play a 4K video on YouTube.

I don’t know how to explain this to any regular m$ user that this is a thing they need to do because reasons.

This really defeats the purpose of using linux distros imo. The whole point was freedom of customisation and truely make it my own.

If I wanted a lock stock barrel experience I would just stick with Windows or macOS.

This is the umpteenth time I’ve come across this project but I just don’t get what they’re going for here.

These are just custom images, are they not?

If I wanted Ubuntu I’d use Ubuntu. If I wanted Fedora I’d use Fedora. Maybe I’m not getting it but I wonder how big of a population that’s out there that wants some Ubuntu mixed in with a touch of Fedora and some buzzword salad thrown into the mix.

I actually did the whole KDE shebang with archinstall. I never really expected that Arch btw deigned it too opinionated to just provide an audio and Bluetooth interface. Instead I have to choose between pulse audio and pipewire and bluez and a bunch of others. I just didn’t have the patience nor time to look into what and why these options are presented, and this was after I already wasted days figuring how to get my pc to boot with my 12th gen Intel and Nvidia gpu combination.

Turns out there’s a bunch of kernel finagling you absolutely have to do first before it even decides to boot from the gpu and not the igpu. Oh well.

Ex arch btw user here. I noped out and wiped after thinking I had it all nailed down, then I tried to connect my Bluetooth headphones and I came to a grand awakening. I am too old for this shit.

Installed Tumbleweed and been happy ever since.
