a lot of people i know

So…gamers, and maybe a few youtubers with less than 10 subscribers? Nah, we güd.

Last time I tried convincing em to install Linux, they said “I’m on it” to end up ghosting me after like I was a weird, random beggar they met on the street.

software problems

Not having “out of the box” support does not make it a problem tho.

quality of distros

All distros are the same, considering they all run GNU/Linux and anyone can configure em at will.

It’s pretty good. Even better than the raspberry pi 4 considering its performance and comically low power draw (It doesn’t go over the 2W mark even with both cpu and gpu at 100%.). Other than that, it’s perfectly usable, despise its lack of (out of the box) support.

As a proud Orange pi zero 3 owner (which I’m using it as a “lab rat” by testing several things, including shutting it down like its a router)…? Nah.

You can always consider the experience of using Linux as a “game” itself and DU ET NAO!

…no really. Do it.

…and that is why I love Linux as well! Gotta love my little potato Orange pi zero 3.

There is always firejail which is very “even your mom can use it” in terms of usage.

e.g install it, type cd / && sudo firecfg, then your password and thats it.

Not by the slightest.

You can see it by yourself right now if you have docker: docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name ascii-matrix defnotgustavom/ascii-matrix

-EDIT- Whoops. Just realized its a fork. Eeeeeehhhh… it’ll give you a nice idea regardless.

I actually created a new image with it – docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name animatrix defnotgustavom/animatrix

By telling users to change their mindset, by showing em how control is important and how the “just werks” mentality imposed by Microsoft is more detrimental than anything.

Nano is my “daily drive”, but I’d use vim as well – takes a couple seconds to search for “how to type in linux vim” and “how to save a file in linux vim” anyways. :^)

Dietpi.. For no particular/proper reason other than its (extreme) focus on minimalism.

tl;dw:

Improvise (but not really). Adapt. Overcome.

Then again, I’d rather go for a much “cleaner” approach and suggest new users to “unlearn” the bad habits learnt by using Windows. Which is the “click once and forget” mentality, along many others.

I tried it once and gave up after realizing the necessary mental gymnastics to do simple things like installing something.

How anyone could prefer Windows to Linux is truly a mystery to me.

Easy of use. The “Click here and I’ll do the stuff for you” kind of “easy of use”.

…I mean… Linux CAN be EASY to use – even MORE than Windows. But for that, the user has to dig in deep. Really deep.

Mostly because the “reddit mentality” has already established in this community, where the downvote exists solely as a self-validation/“dopamine fix” feature rather than flagging a post as bad and irrelevant.

Eh, archinstall is a thing nowadays – there is nothing to “learn” on arch anymore.

Nice job on not adding nothing relevant other than “(Folks that doesn’t like the same stuff as I do) are (buzzwords).” – you are not better than em.

Eh, it’s a tradeoff that I get in exchange of a longer microsd lifespan. Which I’m completely fine with.

Apparently pipx dislikes tmpfs partitions, so nah.
