Websites can be vague, or outdated. Is there any error from running the command?
You got any of that evidence?
I’d recommend KDE and Gnome. They’re the two most popular and mainstream DEs. If you ever plan on switching to another distro, being familiar with these two will benefit you.
If you feel really confident, you can start playing with window managers.
Most distros are the same under the hood. I’d recommend downloading different desktop environments. You can stay on Mint and keep all your files.
You can be 100% vegetarian except for eating the rich. Eating the rich would reduce animal harm worldwide.
It’s all open source. You can merge them yourself. It is a massive technical challenge and pretty much impossible, it’d be like merging minecraft and fallout together.
People do make money off of open source projects, not just from donations, but sometimes providing prenium features, or providing their own servers instead of you maintaining your own.
There are project leaders, Linus has the final say in what does and does not make it into the Linux kernel.
Sir this is the Linux instance.
Dominate the market instead of make the market better? I don’t quite follow.
A seed that can be planted in more areas, and consistently grow more abundantly, seems favorable for all.
Yet I can still go to the farmer’s market and get my 60+ types of apples, honey, etc. If I want something special.
Or are you saying that once one seed is produced, companies will stick with that instead of continuing to improve the seed? Because that’s not the case either, there’s hundreds of varieties of corn, each able to tolerate slightly different conditions.
I’d start with Ubuntu. If there’s any niche software, it will probably run on Ubuntu/debian distros.
For getting your value out of it, I highly recommend emulation.
I think seeing how well the OLED versions of consoles sells, Nintendo will release their new switch with OLED, then make a cheaper non-oled version like the switch lite / 2ds /etc.
GMO isn’t bad. Everything is genetically modified.
Patented foods already exist. Have for years.
Monsanto has corn plants that don’t grow at a consistent height if you try to replant the seeds, making them profit by getting you to buy more seeds next year.
We already have seedless plants, bananas.
If I didn’t already buy the 512, the oled would be worth it imo
I’m in the same boat with my switch as well.
I’ve never used Wayland, x11 is fine for me.
I have also had issues with Wayland, but I have heard issues with Nvidia cards and Wayland.
Yeah, you look at how there are a handful of package managers, and hundreds of distros, they’re pretty much all the “same”
But yes gentoo and NixOS do things the most differently. But even on those you can game on them.
I mostly want to discourage distro hopping with the belief that they’re missing out on a program or desktop, only to end up on windows because they’re tired of reinstalling everything.
One important thing you need to know about distros: they’re all the same under the hood.
You can have any desktop you want on any distro. But some customizations are redone in some distros. In terms of programs you want to run, they pretty much all work on any distro. If a distro is “better for gaming” it usually just means the programs are pre-installed.
People talk about arch and Debian as the best because they have the least customizations, allowing you to install and customize as you wish.
Linux users are mostly tinkerers, they like their customizations their way. I’m in that boat. The less I have to remove to get my customization working, the better. Just give me a black screen and a white blinking cursor, I know how to do the rest from there.
I just sonic welded my steam deck, with extra rivets through the screen and fan to be sure.
I just don’t use my impact drill on them and I’ve never had an issue.
