Pretty much just a different GUI, If you ever used Notepad++ it’s the same as that.

Notepadqq is basically an exact clone of Notepad++ but native on Linux.

I used it for a good while before recently switching to Kate.

AUR or flatpak.

Honestly the longer I spend daily driving Linux the more I enjoy using flatpaks…

Funnily the first time I tried Linux on my desktop was because I wanted to play BF4 but the EA App refused to launch on Windows 10 even after restarting/reinstalling everything.

I slapped Pop_OS on a backup SSD and got it running through Lutris within the hour.

Origin was a fucking nightmare to use even on Windows, and honestly…the EA desktop app wasn’t really an improvement.

EndeavourOS cult following furry drama queen Mary Lee Harvey Oswald shot in the shower wbu?

This gibberish was brought to you by OpenBoard…

Maaaaybe, Who’s asking?

Shout out to my buddy who has been using an un-activated copy of Win10 for over 5 years despite being called out anytime he shares his screen.

And yes we told him how to but “It doesn’t bother him”

Devs who make the -h command actually useful are modern day saints.

The one kept at home until recently was some early 2000s white(yellowing) and blue thing, might have been Laser.

We had an Inkjet sometime around 2014 and went back to using the old one because it worked more of the time.

Half my family just email whatever they want printing to my Dad and he prints it at his workplace.

We’ve owned multiple printers over the years but 8/10 no matter what device you used, The printer just didn’t work. The “Dad strategy” has never failed.

That was kinda my experience as well when I ran vanilla Arch for a bit, First day was just finding and installing stuff that already came on Endeavour.

After I had an SSD issue had to switch to another drive I didn’t really see grabbing regular Arch again as worth the extra hassle.

I don’t even have an OLED display for my desktop and I’ve still preferred pure black background for the longest time.

I’m glad dark mode is a standard unlike 10+ years ago when you had to hack it in yourself most of the time. But Ui designers just seemed to be afraid of trying anything outside the standards Google/Apple etc put in place.

If one is good then two should be like…double the good right?

What card you using? I have a RTX 3080 and it’s worked fine on Endeavour/KDE (besides Wayland)

Windows 10 LTSC 2021 edition has support until January 13th 2032.

I’d obviously prefer if more people gave Linux a try but if you’re literally forced to use Windows then it’s probably your best option right now.

Yeah same here I got zero tolerance with spyware/telemetry and it’s one of the main reasons I switched to Linux in the first place.

Do I believe KDE would misuse my data? Nope not really but it’s not something I want to promote no matter how anonymized the data is or how nicely they ask.

Same rule goes for any project even ones I’ve donated money to.

I remember one Christmas dinner one of my aunties asked about iCloud and how are they “storing pictures n stuff inside clouds now?” (physical clouds!)

Everyone immediately looks at me and most of them probably didn’t believe me when I said it’s just a marketing term for storing your data on a companies “computer”/server.

My family is mostly tech illiterate, but still call me paranoid when I tell them the actual truth behind the tech they’re putting their trust in.

Setting Aliases because I can’t remember the new ones

I got a buddy who switched to EndeavourOS after using Linux Mint for about a year, He said he was too lazy to learn pacman/yay so he spent an hour making fake apt aliases, I forgot what happened but after a while he gave up on it and just got use to pacman.

I’m using SDDM and it lets me select Wayland as an option just fine, Just my Nvidia card won’t load my desktop then.

I’m going full AMD next time I upgrade but that’s gonna be a while away…
