last time i checked, matrix didn’t have any screensharing features. Is it still true?

greatly depends on what russians you as, even if you mean it ironically. USSR citizens is basically their equivalent of USA’s sovereign citizens.

you know, what happened to a country when it tried to force its ideas noone else shared?

Nuremberg trial

Wait, it wasn’t the last one! The last one who tried it ceased to exist in 1991, destroyed collectevely by western countries even without a war, well, a direct one

hear me out

china may have the largest businesses in the world, but they lack cultural leverage. US still stays where it is solely due to its cultural influence on the world. China’s culture is alien to us, especially in terms of labor culture.

what about eu? Granny Europe still rocks, do not underestimate her.

yeah, and the ussr is a totally relevant state in our days lol

Aether is not enough for you? The lad is hot as hell

As far as I’ve heard, manjaro is notorious for its AUR “support” so no wonders. For me on my EndeavourOS setup its as easy as running “yay -S *package name*” to install one or just “yay” to update everything and then everything just works.

lol.

then trying to find the correct commands to install it, then installing it the wrong way because your distro actually uses this other package manager

this single quote gives me understanding that you don’t know what you’re talking about. You literally making the shit up right now. If your system uses other package manager, the command simply won’t run.

what’s about googling stuff, there are literally wikis for every major distribution, and they’re more than enough to install drivers (which this topic is all about) to any of their derivatives. I agree that having an ability to use official site is good, but this option is still as available if you’re on linux. Its just so that it is not an option on windows, it is the only way, and it’s annoying. Making a clean install? Be a dear, make sure to speedrun all this clownade with installing your proprietary drivers and software, don’t forget to also draw a pentagram and provide some virgin blood in order to disable windows defender, annoying af automatic updates and realtime protection. Thank you Microsoft, I’m not stupid, i’ll manage myself to not to download that sus af software, you don’t have to use half of my pc resources just to regularily scan the file system on potential viruses.

In previous paragraph i have mentioned updates. Yeah, you either won’t get any, or they’re annoying af, and i’m not even talking about famous windows system ones (yeah, java?)

“sudo pacman -Syu” is the only command i have to run now to update literally everything all at once without it taking half an hour or a necessary reboot. You don’t even have to stop what you were doing, as noone cockblocks you with a fucking loading screen.

yeah, except that you have to find the official site, find there the model of your tablet, go on its page, finally download the driver. Only after that i can doubleclick on the installer and click yes half a dozen times. Also, no automation at all. I could write a fucking script that completely transforms any linux into my own one with all the programs and environment i like. There’s even an OS that functions that way: in nixOS everything done through single config file.

No dumb extra clicks. Also, no obscure “install opera” checkmarks or some similar shit, and noone treats you like you’re mentally deranged. Frankly, it felt so refreshig for me. Like i’ve finally breathed in some fresh air after decades of pure CO2

EndeavourOS is as simply installed as Ubuntu, even better, considering last time i tried, ubuntu installer gave me some weird errors few times. I think EndeavourOS is actually the best for noobs because of AUR and yay. AUR is supperior to all that PPA stuff. Not to mention the great ArchWiki. All Ubuntu has is forums, not so comprehensive. Mint has even less comprehensive answers on its forum, and they’re a lot often outdated. And not all answers from the ubuntu ones are relevant for mint. Opposing to them, what’s relevant for Arch is relevant for endeavourOS. Also, it comes in nice flavours, offered during the install process. Not to mention the “welcome” utility helping you make some initial tweaks.

how long ago have you used linux actually? And what distro you used, it had no webcam drivers? CollibriOS? The only time i had to install a driver, it was a graphic tablet one. You know, what did it take to do it? “yay -S opentabletdriver” to install it “systemctl --user enable opentabletdriver.service --now” to immediately enable it, and make it run at startup. It took more to install a proprietary one on windows.

If you actually will be going to, i could personally recommend EndeavourOS. Don’t fall for “Ubuntu is best for noobs”, it isn’t, and in my experience it lacks stability.

Also, if you’re not quite a mouse person, you could try tiling wms on your journey, like i3 or awesomewm. For me i3 is one of the major reasons to never return back. The ability to actually be able to do all you need with just a keyboard is huge for me, and something I was looking for even before switching to linux. Now floating wms and especially Windows itself seem so unhandy and irritating

Hey, non-FOSS internet, how is it going?

…

Yeah.

you mean lego citizen?

how was your Ubuntu experience? Because i always felt like it could break any time: all this PPAs, need to compile lots of stuff yourself and the release model in general haven’t quite worked for me.

I could recommend you to try EndeavourOS if you had somewhat similar problems. It works like a charm, since its an Arch derivative but without Manjaro’s problems, which means it has rolling release model, so you always get the latest version pacages, and it has AUR support, which means you won’t ever need to clone and compile anything from github, as there’s 99% chance it already has its AUR, so all it takes is to type “yay -S *package name*”. Not to mention the comprehensive ArchWiki. It also has an i3 flavor. I fucking love i3.

why not nvim?

a cat from the ranch I work on

nano? I mean, really?
