If you don’t have time to tinker maybe consider another distribution more suited to your needs. Waiting 5s for every action is not a time effective solution.

But don’t Razer products actually have a decent support on Linux?

Mate you need to debug your machine, that is not normal behaviour. I have endeavour on an old laptop and everything is fast.

Thanks a lot for pointing it out, next time I’ll just look for that toggle and save myself th trouble!

Last week I installed Windows 11 on a new laptop that came with FreeDOS installed. It was a really dreadful experience, I never thought it was this bad.

• The windows 11 installer couldn’t find any hhd partitions or hard drive, while FreeDOS could. After googling for a while I had to download an Intel Rapid Something driver from the manufacturer’s website and load it up when installing windows 11.

• After installing Windows it required an internet connection to proceed but I assume the wi-fi drivers were not installed. USB tethering didn’t seem to be working either so I had to continue the setup elsewhere, where I had physical access to the router.

• I had to skip a lot of things throughout the installer, which kinda shocked me. Office 365 and even games, before I even booted the actual OS.

• Fully updating Windows took 2 hours. Fresh ISO, gigabit Ethernet connection, nvme HDD. Damn.

Pretty miserable experience and completely impossible to an unexperienced user.

No, but I also don’t want to only have 2GB XD

Can you even run Windows with just 2gb?

The great thing about Linux is that there are options for everyone.

Want an OS with a full desktop installed? We got you.

Want an OS with almost nothing installed where you can make every single decision? We got you.

Want to build the OS entirely from scratch? We got you.

There’s an option for everyone and that’s cool. Don’t be mad about having a choice.

You may find it laughable but it is what it is. Most people does not enjoy signing up for specific product forums. It’s much easier to just add yet another discord server to the list.

If plasma could put all their damn files inside a “plasma” folder that’d be great too.

Hyprland is pretty sweet, to be honest.

That reminds me, I do own a pine64 device! It was the first thing I got on Kickstarter.

It’s a Pine A64, with 2gb RAM. I wonder if it has enough power to run all those things. It’s a budget device from 8 years ago, probably gonna have a hard time but I’ll give it a try if I manage to find it!

Raspberry Pi was my first choice, but apparently I can’t even back order it :/

Even worse than I thought, then :/

apt uses debians packages and debian repositories. Unless they recently created an alias or something, it should install debian packaged version!

If you use apt-get you aren’t using snaps, you are unaffected.

Snap is a format created by Canonical which has a really funky proprietary back end. The default application store in Ubuntu uses this format and has been plagued with an impersonation problem. Since everyone could submit snaps there was a lot of spyware posing as legit software. My main gripe was when the snap store just decided to unilaterally close and update my Firefox while I was using it.

Linux Mint does NOT have snaps and even had a debian based version. Pretty neat

Power to you, friend. But with current snap store out of the box it’s really hard to recommend Ubuntu to anyone. Linux Mint seems such a better choice to newbies.

At the end of the day it’s not really a big deal, people should just use whatever feels best.

Linux Mint should be the default answer for newbies. Tech savvy users can probably find “the right distro” themselves.

They mean the user will happily pay for the new windows version instead.
