Is this happening on Ubuntu, or are people just saying it might happen cos they don’t trust canonical?

Also, Mint Debian edition exists and works just fine. I have it on a brand new Intel laptop

Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though

Linux users install chrome now…?

Yeah I think that’s kinda the point. Fedora does a bunch of things in really specific ways that aren’t at all like Debian based distros or Mac or windows. Eg - Selinux. So you, initial experience is pretty poor if you don’t know a decent amount about what’s going on

I have mint on my big rig, on a new Intel nuc laptop, on 2 VMS, on 2 proxmox VMS, on my home file server made of old parts, on another laptop from like 2005, and now on a wyse 5060 terminal.

All of them run perfectly, connect to file shares, automatically find my printer, etc. Not one crash ever, and it all works like clockwork day in and day out. I’m halfway through baldurs gate 3 on the big rig now and can play it remotely via xrdp from the laptop.

If you want a system that works and let’s you get on with life I’d reccomend it

What is your issue with installation exactly? I must have done 200+ installs of 2 dozen distros (not you Arch) and its always been smooth and easy. And quick. Like, the whole process only takes 15 minutes for most distros

Is this what the kids pass off as a meme these days?

I had a look at this a few weeks ago and loved some of the features. Having no option to keep data local or any simple cross platform backup (even if those will be implemented later) turned me off a bit. Having sync from PC to phone was great, although it relies on either thier cloud system or doing a bunch of tech setup I’m not good enough to handle. Overall good concept but a lot of things made me uncomfortable.

I then found Obsidian which is similar but seems to have a bunch of better features, and is all stored locally in standard formats. 10/10 If you like the look of any type chack out obsidian
