Im mainly here cause I find the idea of the fediverse an intriguing concept to be honest :3

I wouldn’t say that Mint is a ‘beginner’ distro. Sure, it’s beginner friendly, but it’s equally friendly for everyone

Ye, that :3. I didn’t mean mint is for beginners only, but it’s one that’s beginner friendly and popular for people starting linux

I started with pop!_os and their pop_shell on GNOME which also has tiling, and that’s been fun :3…

At the moment pop is on the bench for me in terms of distro recommendations tho, cause of their work on COSMIC making it a bit behind, and possibly a bit unstable in the future

(Though COSMIC will be replacing TWMs for me, as it’s imo a nice fresh spin on tiling with the window groups, which to me makes it the smoothest tiling experience even in the current alpha)

but ideally I’d like a distro that’s a bit more Linux-y.

Im not sure how you’d even quantify that? I mean… there’s a lot of variation in linux, so there’s not a “standard” linux experience… DEs like KDE or cinnamon are more Windows-y, and ones like GNOME or Pantheon are more MacOS-y. There’s TWMs which to me is what makes the linux experience, but those aren’t for beginners and I wouldn’t recommend you start with that

Really it doesn’t matter what enviroment you use, so honestly im gonna agree with the other comment and just say use one of the big begginer distros like mint cinnamon lol

I mean… I wouldn’t watch a playthrough side by side while playing, but watching a playthrough of a game up to the point I played to after im done playing for the day is a pretty common thing for me :3

It’s a different experience but I enjoy both

“touch grass” - diogenes upon hearing socrates

Seconded :3… I think all modern windows in europe do that

Fediverse wins once again :3

Nice x3

I wish I had a slightly more common name sometimes tbf, cause it never appears on coke bottles or any other novelty that includes names lol. Googling my name just gives a result for a prince from the 14 century, and the year I was born there were only 3 other people with my name according to a naming website haha, not including my last name of course which is also one of the rarer ones from what I gather, so ye

I made a gmail with my name like 2 years ago, I just have an uncommon name ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I have it on grid view :3… just cause it can fit a lot more files into the same screen space

In list view I have to scroll to see all the files in my home folder, and in grid view it only takes like half of the available space, if I have the app maximized

:3 and UwU are my personality at this point x3

Mm cold floor in the hot summer :3

Mm electrified head jello :3

Who won tho? 🤔

Seems to be a pattern :3

Fun fact: the name for a weed in my native language is literally “angry grass” :3
