I read this last night as I was about to install Fedora again for the first time in four years...
Why do you use it?
I like Linux as an 'idea', and have mostly used it that way.. Why not congratulate, and reward, the success of an idea that gives the developer almost nothing other than maybe future reward and a healthy hobby? It has also just worked for me mostly.
I'm also serious about photography and a couple years ago I caved and went to Adobe products. A pro and con conversation happened in me.
Now, since I'm a little less on the good end of finances, I'm remembering just how Linux and the Gimp managed to do me well for years and likely influenced me creatively!
My fedora install went smooth.... there is things I will have to do still, but I forgot how much of a loss I was with missing Gnome Shell intuitively.. Who says a product made for consumption, by people not looking to make a million dollars, can't be good :)

@Arian Then you're brother is a little older than you, yes?
Irc may be useful that way... I have vastly different interests when I did when I was 18. At that time, it was useless fun anonymous conversation. (resembling here, but I found it more fun). Two months ago when I logged on, I felt I was in a different universe, so I looked up an interest of mine... books
If I held interest in audiobooks within an hour I would have had a thousand links.
The IRC I remember is fun and conversation...

I love audio books I might have to join. Yes my brother is much older than me. I think what you are looking for has moved to the deep web.

@Arian Maybe... I suspect some of us who remember what the Internet 'was' who are savvy with technology have made their own form of what the 'net' was.

🖐 OpenSUSE Tumbleweed right now
Arch is too much a pain to re-install for me. But it's well documented for sure.

No, but I want to try it. I want to get away from using Microsoft.

@adhane05 ahh.... no. My all-in-one desktop runs the risk like a laptop without the benefit of the laptop being as portable.
adhane05 · 31-35, M
@SW-User I hope it stays working for ya. Sounds like a pain to fix.

@adhane05 Which is why I say ahh no.... but it's not much different than your smartphone you likely have now with a much larger screen

On actual pc or on a Switch? Because I know you can run Linux on your Switch if you hack it.
IWasCallingYaLarry · 26-30, M
@Arian oh okay. What did you do it on?
Arian · 26-30, F
ps4, switch, vita

I like mint. It's very well supported, automatic updates, etc. Very refined -- if you want a useable system. if you're more in to playing and experimenting then it's not what you're looking for.
Arian · 26-30, F
@t3kkno I think mint is really good as a distro for people either switching from windows to linux or people who want to use linux but do not want to get under the hood and config anything. I love arch I have no problem opening a terminal and config a package. However, I understand I'm in the minority.

Yes love Linux. I run red hat, centos at work. Run Kali Linux at home
neoalphamtx · 51-55, M
Cool. Sounds like a winner. I need to try it out.
Arian · 26-30, F
The first time it might take you a while to install it, but arch has really good documentation.
neoalphamtx · 51-55, M
@Arian Sounds good...I always like to try different distros. Linux is amazing because you truly can make it yours.
