For the record, this loser also DM’d me a long screed about how he has trans friends and he’s gay and thats why hes an authority or something. He’s @ing me in some irrelated thread months later because apparently I occupy much of his mental bandwidth.

Yes lol

Update: some anti-diy trans people on reddit (who post to 196 🙄 ) got so mad about Hexbear that they petitioned spez to add Hexbear to reddit’s spam words list

My notes said I tried nobara but they werent very detailed, I assume it wasnt great? Manjaro is one of the ones I didnt test, along with Garuda. I tried Fedora base and Arch base and they didnt work out of the box with most games.

GUI absolutely does matter for helping adoption of linux, I’m not interested in hearing arguments to the contrary either. Everything should be as GUI’d as possible if we want linux to grow

Does it have a driver gui?

Yeah, thats useful for laymen / people that dont want to tinker a whole lot

Nah, I’m on latest hardware (4080) and did a bunch of tests recently. Mint was the best along with PopOS. A lot of distros like CachyOs or Bazzite have a lot of great enhancements but they break so often without easy rollbacks that a layman shouldnt use them. Mint has a driver manager and can install KDE if you want with no breakage. Bazzite and CachyOS couldnt even run many major titles due to driver breakage and not having an easy way for a layman to rollback. (I could do it, though a layman would hate it). Whereas PopOS and Mint both ran major titles without any configuration.

I don’t know of any ‘bleeding edge’ distros with driver managers, I might ask about that though.

guess a lot of people that post there got banned? idk. i may make an account on ttrpgnetwork 🤔

seems dead

I personally found it kinda jank. Mint feels best for a laymans gaming distro ime

The USA lodging a bomb in the house of a Chinese/Russian etc. queer person doesn’t make those countries stop being queerphobic. And now that queer person doesn’t have a home. There is no way to bomb only queerphobes.

i use it as an editor even though thats not really its use case. i just feel like gimp is far too clunky, it just feels “off” to me in comparison to photoshop

In general I feel like its probably KDE’s best software package outside of its DE. Know of any other super good KDE apps?

My biggest complaints with krita are around it not being easy to align objects and the text tool could use some love. Other than that, it feels like a great photoshop replacement

Krita, I use it for everything, I hate gimp, it feels so bad

Thought these surveys were cool!

Really cool and thorough graphs, maybe she’ll do one on lemmy sometime?

itd be bad as a daily driver imo

I’d be really curious how the kids have turned out, they should be teens verging on adults by now
