The moderator of that community makes like 99% of the posts.

That is some dedication to being wrong.

I doubt there were bad intentions in the post, even though it might be understood like that

I think the downvoters misunderstood something, not sure

🤨

No way! 😱

I’ll take a look at these distros, though I’m not really too much of a beginner anymore.

I actually come from Debian, but I hopped distros in hopes of finding an even better distro.

I like them. I understand that they aren’t perfect but they don’t need to be. They just need to be better than the alternative, and they sure are.

In my humble opinion, not liking cooperatives under capitalism feels like a “it’s not a perfect utopia therefore we’ll just stick with the hellish situation we have now”.

I’m happy that you got this opportunity, comrade! Best of luck!

Not sure why so many downvotes, maybe because of the AI thing or changing rainbow flag to Russian one? Either way I don’t think there were bad intentions :/

That is correct

Yep! I have the pixel shop (a place to download any game you want on the switch) configured and it is amazing.

I’ve been playing TOTK and Rogue Legacy 2 the most 😁

thank you for your service

I personally have 2 Linux distros alongside Windows in my computer, I suggest you don’t remove Windows just yet since you probably will need it until you have everything set up on Linux, and there are some programs and games that will only run on Windows.

If / when you install Linux on your PC, I think it would be a good idea to look into how to make a dedicated /home partition (/home is the folder where all the user folders are) so if you want to try another distro you can still access the stuff your user had in the distro you were using before.

Though making a dedicated /home partition is not very straightforward if you’ve never done it before. However I’m sure if you ask around here people will help you.

Perhaps it would be cool to make a masterpost on this community explaining some basic stuff about Linux. I could probably do it but I would need help from more experienced Linux users to proofread the stuff I put there, as I don’t want to post misinformation.

Not sure what you mean, I brought someone my switch so they could pirate it, since to do that a chip needs to be soldered inside and I don’t have the means or the expertise to do that.

It’s radio free asia, so it’s definitely a fabrication

I had someone pirate my switch 👍

Fuck Nintendo best 60€ I’ve ever spent

It’s being a good experience so far, though I do have to say that installing stuff in portage is not as straightforward as for example apt, since packages take a while to install and sometimes there is “masked” stuff which takes me a few extra steps to install.

Also googling stuff about Gentoo seems to flood the results with “how to install Gentoo” which is kinda inconvenient, but not really Gentoo’s fault.

Well I’m only saying negative stuff about it but I genuinely am enjoying the experience.

I tried to install it in a VM to test it a little, and currently it feels like an old Windows version. Performance is not very good on Virtualbox so I gave up on the VM and tried to test it on real hardware, but as I said earlier I couldn’t boot the USB. Not sure how much progress has been made since this was my first time seeing the OS, but I really hope they succeed.

I installed Gentoo alongside Debian and Windows, took me an entire day 😅

Also I saw on distrowatch that there is an open source OS on development that can run Windows stuff natively (.exe programs and all these things), It’s called ReactOS. I tried installing it on my PC but the USB just wouldn’t boot :(

And this isn’t from my weekend but I discovered that I absolutely love the KDE Classic cursors for some reason. I guess it’s because they are so simple and kinda give retro vibes.

Are you on mobile? I’m on firefox desktop and it looks good

Fortunately I already moved out in 2020 into my grandparent’s house, thank you for your response!
