My first time using Linux

I just wanna say I love linux. This is my first time using it and it feels so more smooth and amazing! I should've used this a long time ago ngl. At first I was confused because I didn't know where to start but it went smooth.

Please read to understand the implication...in spite of Linus's simple explanation for decades, people are still getting confused....meh .....it's about GPLv2

Not an endorsement, but Ableton making a hackable Linux-based portable DAW and even outright showcasing it as a use case for the RPi CM wasn't exactly on my bingo card

I'm using Linux again after an 15 year break. Wow

I started using linux when I was in middle school. My first install was redhat that I installed with floppy disks (no joke). I quickly moved onto Slackware and FreeBSD (i know, not linux), which I used for years and then Arch. I used it as my primary OS, if something was broken I figured it out. I read slashdot, wrote my own iptables, did my own shell noscripting, absolutely loved it. Everything took a ton of work though. I would spend days troubleshooting at times. Then I got decided on a massive career change from IT security to healthcare. I got an iphone and mac and left linux in the past.

I got bored and decided to install ubuntu LTS on an XPS i bought just for it. Wiped the drive clean and just went for it. Wow, shit just works now. The drivers for everything work perfectly. All the keyboard keys work. Gaming on steam is even better than windows! The UI is sooo clean. Wayland is a HUGE upgrade from x11. Linux is truly ready for prime time now, though I guess people just don't care as much about using a PC now.

Sorry, just had to share. All my linux nerd friends long ago quit and went to OSX and had families same as me. I'm very impressed so far, though I feel kind of like a tool using ubuntu. I'll probably get my feet wet and go back to Arch. Anything anyone else would suggest? What else did I miss over these 15 years?

4 Years in Linux. Wanted to share my experience

This is my 4th year with Linux so i wanted to share my experience with Linux all the way from the start.

My pc was getting older by the year so windows (in windows fashion) stopped supporting my computer, and i was forced into windows7 and the driver and steam issues were crazy. then i was scrolling on youtube and found a video of someone learning Linux from scratch. I became inspired and downloaded my first distro Manjaro without any knowledge. (Big mistake) After that i was fucked with how hard Manjaro was for me and went back to windows. A few months later i did research before trying Linux again and downloaded Linux Mint and ive been daily using it since. I had some experiences with Arch but none were good so im not gonna go into Arch for now but i wanna try it again this year if i get a better pc.

So heres how i learned and prepped for Linux and also my tips if you are getting into it or have someone learning Linux:

I only learned Apt and nothing else before trying Linux and that teached me thru experience so i recommend using a Debian based for your first distro

Always have a ventoy with another windows iso in it so if you cant get stuff working you can always go back

Looks arent important if youre learning when you feel like youre done with the terminal try to download the theme (if its done on it)

Always check on reddit or other websites they probably can solve your problem in 1 to 5 comments

Dont forget about Flatpak its really useful.

Thats all i hope for another year without any system bugs :D
