Man, I love Debian. It’s not the sexiest distro, but it gets the job done damn well

The Linux Experiment is regularly sponsored by some of them (IE Tuxedo)

If you happen to be new to Linux, do yourself a favor and start on Linux Mint.

There are no snaps, you can still install pretty much everything you can with Ubuntu, the Cinnamon Desktop is nice (better than Gnome in my opinion, but then again, I haven’t used Gnome that much) and you don’t have to deal with ads in the terminal. Mint is the distro most people should start on.

I guess I’m moreso hoping the brands get in - specifically Samsung, Google and the others I listed. I think it would spur on a lot of new development in that area which is always a good thing

Pretty much - or Samsung, Xiaomi, Nothing or any of the other Android brands

Not shocked about the headaches (happens with most of the headsets), but I’m a little sad about the weight issues. That sucks - I’m an Android user but I was hoping Apple doing this would lead to some Android development in the same space

Hearing this sort of stuff before is why I just chose to use WSL with my Lenovo Legion. Especially since mine has an RTX card in it

I love this bot

Ramping up his authoritarian rhetoric, Trump pledged in the lowa speech to institutionalize an authoritarian crackdown of the same sort he falsely accuses the Biden administration of implementing. “Upon taking office, I will create a new federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias to be led by a fully reformed Department of Justice that’s fair and equitable," he promised. «Its mission will be to investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment and persecution against Christians in America."

This is the quote from the article about the task force.

I 100% get that (and I know it’s an archive), but I’m just saying why doesn’t double-clicking a .tar.gz just run “tar xf file.tar.gz | sh” on that file? Or check if there’s an executable in the extracted files and then run it if there is, and if it’s just an archive of files then open the extracted folder?

Being real, why DON’T distros just have the ability to do the installation if you double-click whatever file is downloaded?

I feel like we should have either option - download and double-click or just use the command line.

I mean, what else would double-clicking a .tar.gz file or an appimage do than install it (yes, I know, look into the archive, but really - how often is that the desired thing to do)? So, therefore, why don’t we just have it install the files that are downloaded?

This is a legit question btw, I really don’t know the answer

Oh, my God! Who???
