I had a cool idea that I completely gave up on because I tried to learn how to do it and realized what I was asking was so insanely complicated and time consuming that I couldn’t do it. I play a lot of games, I know what would make a good one, there’s just a gaping chasm between knowing and creating.

Sad man 😔

I like the windows delete philosophy of asking me before I delete something.

I fucking hate the windows delete philosophy of telling me I don’t have access after I said yes.

I’m this close to daily driving as Sadmin

Which one?

… if my partner has gone out of their way and obtained access to my fingerprints I have bigger concerns than my Linux memes.

I’ve been using fingerprint biometrics on my phone for years.

You’ll never see my memes.

Femboy and Arch, checks out.

Better not be because I can’t see an inch of sugar building up at the bottom so it wasn’t made correctly.

Ah okay, thank you for clearing the terminology up a bit. So the distros are what have different names and have unique contributions from different people, the kernel is just the common ‘core’ they expand off? I think I got it.

I hear a lot of people mention Arch to the point it’s a meme but I’ll take your advice and steer clear. Ubuntu is the one I’m probably most familiar with on a name basis to the point I thought it and ‘Linux’ meant the same thing. I might start with Ubuntu only for the sake of documentation and once I get a familiar idea of how to do basic commands and troubleshooting, I’ll give your Fedora a shot.

The only thing that’s kept me from the switch is compatibility concerns. Lots and lots of people harp on about that and until Steam Deck I wasn’t even sure I’d be able to game with it. I’m ready to break my Microsoft chains though.

Still just a bit worried about everything I use not being compatible. Windows is the normie choice so chances are if it exists there’s a Windows version but with Linux I’d start from scratch.

Tell you what, when I replace my motherboard in a couple weeks, I’ll slot this M.2 I’ve got and put a Linux partition on it. Any recommendations on what ‘version’ to start with for a heavy gamer? The different names of Linux ‘versions’ are kernels, right?

Was already looking to jump ship at the file explorers having ads as a “test” but boy howdy, do it Microsoft. This would push me to make the Linux switch outright.
