- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts

The best way to install Linux is to ask your buddy who knows Linux, they have been waiting for this question for years
Just dont ask which distro your buddy thinks is the best. Thats some Matrix level red pill bullshit you are not ready for.
We all know black-pilled Linux from scratch is the best. Gentoo is just a bit too bloated.
You self host your own Lemmy instance? Pfft, I self host my own package repository.
What if we kissed while Gentoo compiles? ππ Haha, jk... Unless?
That's a long kiss π³ N-not like I mind..
THE TIME AS COMTH THE GREAT PROPHETCEY HAS BEEN FUFILLED
GIMME 20MINS I GOTTA GO GET MY VENTOY DRIVE WITH 200 ISO'S ON IT!!!!!
Absolutely.
But giving advice with Linux is hard. There are so many options.

My experience with dnf is that it's slow as molasses but your average computer user isn't gonna install 10 new CLI apps per day /j
I've used Discover (dnf or flatpack backend) and you can install just about any software with 1 click. It takes a minute to install but that's fine.
Zypper: hold my beer (it will be warm and flat by the time I'm done)
Can't wait for Rypper, the drop-in Zypper replacement written in Rust
Avoid Ubuntu.
