  • Do I dare say it 🥺

  • I didn't say "average person" and end the sentence. I said the average person installing linux. The type of person who installs Linux in the first place is already extremely far from average.

    I would consider act of installing Linux itself to be "tinkering".

  • Zorin is a solid distro and is designed to appeal to Windows users.

    Buuuut knowing what I know now I worry Zorin's simplicity could turn people off of Linux. Zorin is a good OS for your grandmother but the average person who would consider installing Linux wants to be able to tinker. Heck, I would consider the very act of changing your operating to be tinkering. Nobody accidentally stumbles installing Linux.

    The options with Zorin are either use it as-is or risk breaking it. That's why I would personally recommend a KDE distro, probably something immutable like Fedora Kinoite. That way you can tinker to your heart's content with no fear of breaking it.

  • You’re not thinking critically when you start from a conclusion.

    Agreed

    That’s the opposite of critical thinking.

    Agreed

    That’s literally just continuing to believe and not question something.

    Agreed

  • Did you write this with GPT? Skepticism and critical thinking are not biases.

  • I do not consider critical thinking skills to be a "viewpoint". I consider them a requirement for intelligent conversation.

  • Aurora immutable KDE Plasma workstation big, slow, confusing

    Jump

  • I looked into Aurora after seeing it recommended here but it is basically the same as Kinoite. I tried both and couldn't tell the difference so I stuck with the more "official" one from Fedora

  • Tell people to just talk to their therapists instead. That’s much more productive.

    I'm just going to say it: 50% of foss projects wouldn't exist if their devs could afford therapy

  • FFS Plex, the server is on my local network

  • But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.

  • idk I find $2/month to be very reasonable. I don't feel squeezed.

    EDIT: Just to be clear there is no amount of condescending replies form trilby wearing neckbeard keyboard warriors that will change my opinion.
