I’m a Linux > Ubuntu > Gnome type of girl. I don’t know what any of that means but those are how I use my linux.
choosing a linux distro can be hard for newcomers. that’s why i recommend going on distrowatch and picking a easy to use distro. i know it’s weird advice but thats how i wound up picking a linux distro and never looked back.
I am linux mint - cinnamon.
OP is posting AI slop and plagiarizing other people’s work. Lead image seems a cyanide and happiness cartoon, but it’s a blatent ripoff, and they watermarked it with their own username to boot. And no communication out transparency around any of that as well
Holy sneaky AI image, Batman!
I started building my own kernel day 1 because I’m a techno masochist.
Choice is good when you can make an informed choice. Choice is bad if you are forced to make a decisions where you have no idea of the consequences.
Having to learn and inform yourself of your options is truly among the most terrifying experiences of the modern person
Worst when the newcomers chose Arch because they’ve heard is very configurable.
Then complain that Linux is hard.
I love Lemmy. I hate AI posters.
Glad I’m not the only one that thought this was an AI comic.
EDIT: and had that thought confirmed.
Thought? This IS an AI comic.
Wasn’t trying to imply it wasn’t. My bad.
Where AI?
OP has posted AI before. look at their profile, they watermarked this cyanide and happiness ripoff too.
I don’t get the point of watermarking AI images. Like, you didn’t even make it, why would you be so worried about it being stolen?
AI “artists” are weirdly very protective of their “”“craft”“”
This is how all artists behave… Very protective of there works and f*** whatever they borrowed in making it…
think Minecraft modders they can mod Minecraft but oh the drama if you mod their mod… Maybe there is just a line the big frnchise is no longer protected… But this is not how people debate this issue.
This is how many commercial artists behave.
FTFY
And the fact that watermark is so easy to remove
Can you use AI to do it?
Not to mention that it was generated based on stolen content. The irony.
There’s a few tell tale signs but look at the USB ports on the laptop.
Also the weird facial expressions that don’t really match the vibe. Why is he smiling when seeing the list of distro? Why is he quivering in fear when asking how many there are? Why is he suddenly fine when picking one?
Weird expression you say?
At this point you’re just nitpicking
Ah, I see.

doesn’t seem like AI, what makes you think so?
I’ve seen enough AI generated media to know when one is AI.
Accurate 😂 Best starter move: just pick Linux Mint (or Ubuntu) with Cinnamon, use it for a week, then distro-hop later if you still feel the itch.
Pop OS is a safe recommendation from me.
Shhhh no choose, only Kubuntu.
Theres no beginners distro, just jump
I’d say that beginner friendly distros are not limiting for experienced users.
Experienced level distros can be very hard for beginners.
Sometimes integer to them as “preconfigured” instead of “beginner” distros.
Although many arch derivatives fit that description and instill wouldn’t recommend them for beginners.
this:
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
