  • I feel like Linux alternatives often falter by trying to offer as extensive of a feature set as the proprietary options. GIMP would be better if it simplified it’s menu’s and focused on offering a strong central feature set, then expand on that core over time to offer a powerful workflow of it’s own.

    I noticed this especially with FreeCAD, which is trying to do like 12 things for some reason? Just offer intuitive parametric cad and focus on it. We don’t need OpenSCAD inside FreeCAD because OpenSCAD is already it’s own thing for example.








  • This makes a lot of sense, though I can’t help but think about the fact that all these distros were once brand new projects that people had to go out on a limb and try out before they became what they are today.

    Though I also guess these projects had more official dedicated support.

    In any case, I won’t be the one going out on a limb for a while now lmao

    Yeah that’s why I put it in quotes, it just kept popping up when I searched for distros more inclined towards gaming lol.

    Yeah I didn’t know about bazzite before going about this whole thing, but I am not going to try gaming on my system until nvk becomes more capable. Even then only light work.

    I’m not necessarily a begginer as I have been using Linux for a few years now, but arch is definitely out of my wheelhouse







  • I have been trying to understand this for a minute and I can’t seem to understand why you would use it on a personal workstation.

    Like it makes sense for servers, and for deploying accross multiple systems in a corporate or public setting, but beyond that it seems like it is just adding unnecessary steps if you try to use it on your personal rig.

    Maybe I’ll need to just give in and try it for a week to a month to see the appeal


  • This is great advice!

    More people should turn to linux, absolutely, but it shouldn’t be just because it is linux. I think people should look at what they want from their device in particular, look at what is offerred by multiple systems and os’, and decide from there that they want to use linux because it does x, y, z best.

    That is what made me decide to use linux as more than just a project or afternoon curiosity!
