❤ Big Linux

Out of the thousands of GNU/Linux distributions, only a few are 100% Free. This is not something general.

Got about three different systems I could use an OS like this on, both are older dual cores that mint treats okay at best. I'll be finally able to use these systems again for the stuff I want to do with older hardware (youtube/light web and dvd playback). Thanks a ton for going over it dude!

Just dual booted into my system. I really like it!

One thing I didn't like... was their i3 install option. It was just a completely 'bare' and basic/raw i3. Nothing pre-configured. No Gaps. No tool bars. Nothing.

AI is inevitable, that's for sure. So, as a Data Analyst I have to use it to be good in my job (or to keep my job) - but on my private PC? No thanks.

Who is here with Fedora 41? ;-)

Been daily driving Tuxedo OS for a couple of weeks now. Totally loving it. There is so much control.

Hey man, new subscriber. I’ve been using Linux since the 90’s. I’ve used many distros but Debian has been my main one in recent years. I’m with you… chatGPT and any other AI crap doesn’t belong in Linux.

Garuda is what I use and I've been on it for about a month now and I absolutely love it !! Those colorful icons, those wiggly windows, and how smooth my almost 5 year old laptop runs now and it's amazing on my battery where as windows was knocking me down to 0% a few times during the year and had me chugging just with photoshop and filmora standing and would be 2 seconds from lift off when I render a video o-o

This is a very great distro. I've been using it for a few days, but it is solid, fast, smooth, very very stable even tho it is rolling release. Discord got an update? sudo eopkg upgrade and it is up to date. Very good. Love this distro

There is a lot of boring people outthere because in my opinion, you didnt fixed it, you fucked it up.😂

This distro is hot garbage. This is the most unstable linux disro ever released. It is irresponsible to claim this isn't anything other than an experimental distro.

Yeah, I'm definitely not down with the "love it or leave it" attitude regarding Linux. If newbies with a fresh perspective see problems with Linux, they should definitely point them out. The Linux package manager system is fundamentally broken when it comes to third party application software. Application software should not be maintained in OS repos AT ALL. You brought up Windows DLL Hell, and that's a very good example, because it's the same problem as Dependency Hell on Linux. The difference is that Microsoft fixed DLL Hell 20+ years ago with a lot of virtualization technology that is transparent to the user, but Dependency Hell on Linux is only just starting to get fixed with Flatpaks, Snaps, and AppImages. A lot of the reason people like package managers on Linux is because of how easy it is to install apps using the command line. But, that loses its appeal when the repo version of the app is six years old, which I recently ran into. Then, it suddenly becomes a PITA to install a recent version. Windows' built-in package manager also makes it easy to install apps from the command line. But, it doesn't grab a stale version from some Windows repo. It grabs the latest version directly from the publisher. And, you know it isn't going to screw up your system because Windows fixed DLL Hell decades ago. Linux distros should just stop putting third party apps in their repos. It makes no sense. It should grab them directly from the publisher and install them using some kind of virtualization technology such as Flatpak or whatever. That's the right way to do things. The way most Linux distros do it now is the wrong way.

"Just released a new version of their OS" with a rolling release distro...? I prefer vanilla Arch, but I do find the project very interesting, I hope the distro catches on. It is certainly better than Manjaro, and more than just a basic Arch GUI installer with collection of packages to install by default.

The only problems I've had with linux is stability so hearing this one's stable makes me have hope that I'll actually be able to make a full switch

Thank you so much, I had all the same issues while testing the OS. This taught me how to strip it all out and have a proper go at Garuda.

Such as me i use Vivaldi on Bodhi Linux and love Bodhi Linux😊🌿

I never had windows 10 or 11 lock up, I do have problems with Linux locking up on some programs using wine. wine isn't perfect and not the solution for everything.

Linux is so unpopular because it's not fancy enough!

Always good to see systemd free distros even if I don't use them

I guess Ebuzz is gone?

they stole most Manjaro custom apps for kernel management and hardware drivers management even the welcome window

I AGREE 100% At least, it is optional to install.

Tip: if you wann use Nautilus as admin, go to the address bar and type admin: and then press enter

I trust China's government in general but like, as an american even if the tabloids were telling 100% truth about them I'd still rather they have my information than my own state where I live and I'm vulnerable to.

I agree.. Garuda and Nobara come with such a great assistant to help you install what you need.. I'm having trouble choosing which one to use. lol

Is there some neo nazi stuff going on here with these linix people

Once I removed Spectacle, the home row desktop icons disappeared. Just a little bit of an OS build oversight. Back to Zorin.

You haven't posted in 11 months.. but I wish you would come back. I just found your channel and your reviews are great.. I'd love to pick your bra^n; which would you recommend after all your experience with them: Regata, Nobara, Garuda, or Pica? They all four look very good to me. I like the way Regata looks the best, but you just showed me how to make Garuda look like it, so I'm leaning towards Garuda now... I do like Nobara too though. Which do you recommend?

Regata looks really good too. but I haven't tried it. Nobara also.. Those two and garuda are all in the same class IMO.. They are all gaming oriented and offer a lot of preinstalled stuff; super easy for a noob

Talk about jumping out of the frying pan into the fire! Poor Windows users will completely swear Linux off after Garuda breaks.

Are you ok

where to download this at?

I think that if it's downloaded trough the package manager or a checkbox upon installation of the desktop would be good. But anything like it being installed by default is not good.

I did SO much to achieve what Garuda offers by default! (Except icons)

Not exactly a perfect experience for me. Don't get me wrong, I love the interface. But the installer for this consistently crashes on my 5900X/ RTX3060TI rig. Checksum fine, installed fine on two other machines. SAME RIG boots on a transplanted install from a 1700 / GTX1650 setup, and swapping my RTX3060TI for the 1700's GTX1650 allows the installer to run, so the problem seems to be with identifying my GPU (an LHR Asus KO version). However, other issues with DVD playback (drive can be seen, but not mounted) and OpenRGB failing to see my Corsair setup are also a problem. Mint Cinnamon solved the DVD playback problem, but I prefer Tuxedo's interface. It's quite likely that Cinnamon is substituting GTX1650 drivers or using generic Nvidia drivers, which means my RTX3060TI is not being fully utilized.

""MS Store is full or carbon copies of other peoples software"" Ok, so is the Ubuntu store, so is the Linux Mint app store. That is one thing I do actually find a little hypocritical there.

It's like renting a house or a car. you can use it, but you don't own it. If you do something that the landlord or owner don't like, you're on your own. Long story short, it's a huge ""Get bent, infidel"" to your face!

Yea don't like it or gnome period they been on some bs for awhile now...i donnt want things like that peaking in but that said i do like/want ai in my terminal and code editor ideally a good nvim plugin...tried cursor and zed and like cursor better but not open source so meh ...not warp or anything closed source for terminal ai neither, aider is good but would love some good recommendations for that and auto complete too. I wouldnt want all that if i been coding 10 plus years but its nice learning

Cahsy os problems begin both during installation and immediately after it. 90% of sites stop opening, when installing with bspwm there is a black screen after entering your login and password

Linux was just too complicated compared to Windows; Windows is insanely easy to install and use; it's simplicity is incomparable vs linux. Linux distros/ISO are greast for neutralizing thumb drives though. Linux is more like a pre-Windows OS from the 80s.

I'll have to see if they are still trying to sell free open source software on their store.

Does anyone here know where I can get an Office key? I'm a bit desperate. I recently downloaded the programs and one came with malware that damaged my PC.
