Applause to them, even if that’s all they’re doing. For personal computing you can basically always count on Pop!_os to work no matter your hardware configuration (within reason, 32-bit machines aren’t really something you need to consider anymore)
Pop!_os ships with specific kernel tweaks to make it play nicer with GPUs
Mints default channel is based on Ubuntu LTS
If those are the performance metrics you care about you’re probably not thinking about personal computing. In which case, in business terms, Linux is 100% the elephant in the room of cloud computing
What distro were you using? This sounds like a possible Wayland issue
Linux and its not even close…
The bad parts of capitalism are the authoritarianism and the grift. Venezuela, like any soviet structured entity is not an alternative to capitalism, its just imperialism wearing a different coat of paint
I loath Ubuntu. But I know if I send a noob off into the woods with it they’ll be able to find solutions to their problems
If you have to ask it probably means the answer is one of the following:
In that order. Mint will be most likely the answer if your hardware is pretty normal. Ubuntu will be the answer if you’re willing to give up some security and privacy for east of use (pro-tip: if this is your mentality I’d recommend a different OS and dual booting while you learn). Pop!_os will be the answer if you don’t need super up to date software and want all your hardware to work because you have something odd
Personally I would strongly advise towards Mint. I used to direct people away from it but I’ve learned this was a bias I had against them for mishandling a security thing a long time ago that they’ve since become leaders in the security space for general use Linux operating systems.
I also prefer gpg but it is not super beginner friendly. I generally recommend people away from proton and tuta unless they really want encrypted email and gpg isn’t something they can figure out
Making email secure and good is very hard and it involves either making it inconvenient or getting rid of interoperability with existing systems. As long as I’ve been tracking it your choices for client when using Proton were webmail or mobile apps. The news here is that a new option has opened up not that an old option is being taken away
Lenovo also no longer deserves their reputation for durability. They haven’t for at least a decade. Their usb-c charging ports wear out super fast
This has way more to do with Azure is their main product and they know what people want to run on the cloud runs on Linux workloads. They’ve seen their Kuberbetes numbers, they know where the money is
Github has the most visibility, codeberg has the best community features for stripping away some of Microsoft’s hegemony over open source, and gitlab is flat and simple the nicest one to use
Don’t forget the 5 minute request before you’ve even seen the start of what you’re interested in that you like, subscribe, and request notifications
The extension marketplace VSCodium uses by default requires that extensions have telemetry off by default
Good good good good. We just wrote a huge batch of quick start on boarding scripts to set up new devs with a good baseline vs code configuration
Best LSP client list outside of NeoVim. If you want to be productive, NeoVim and VSCode are the top choices right now
It would benefit a social cause that is near and dear to his heart: making Mark Zuckerberg extremely wealthy
