Honestly the modern Linux experience is largely easy to start these days, but there are pitfalls and traps.

A little more than a year ago I was a complete Linux nooby, but I researched and asked questions before jumping in. Then I jumped in (my first distro was endeavour). I asked questions, read forums, tinkered, then broke my shit.

Then I distro hopped between the popular ones (mint, buntu, etc.) before finally settling on Cachy. There were pains along the way but for my use cases the main learning hurdles were learning the compatibility layers and FOSS software alternatives.

I implore you to tread the beaten path, on a tried and tested distro with an active community. Think about your use case, and which flavor of Linux distro better supports your intentions.

Only marginally more dangerous than the cocktail of gas station stimulants and nicotine patches keeping me awake…

More like, in terms you may better understand:

This guy checks a few of the “no-no” boxes.

VS.

This guy checks ALL of the “no-no” boxes, and has gone on record saying he doesn’t care and will continue to do “no-no” things.

Its…decently common. When I was at huachuca shrooms and acid would go around, there’d be a shakedown every six months at the TRADOC soldiers’ barracks . For long missions it was incredibly easy to run into Ritalin and such. No one I knew did anything like coke or heroin.

I’ve swapped to linux mostly due to aging hardware and low disposable income. I’m still running A PC that was lower MID a decade ago.

So far its a blast, nothing short of shotty anticheat gets in my way. ProtonDB is a great resource. Wine and the proton layers basically give you parity (and in some cases better performance than windows).

Well yes… And?

What goalpost you potato? What was said basically amounts to “your experience differs because of (completely optional customizations)”

I know where you stole it from, and it’s only funny in context.

He literally gave an example of a more committed response. We’re lazy
