Of course it depends on the person but what I was trying to refer were non tech-savvy people. If you want to learn Linux wholeheartedly, Arch or Gentoo are perfect for the job, even LFS I would say. However for non tech-savvy people the distro should rely on GUI as much as possible I think, and it shouldn’t have the danger that it might get broken after an update, even if it’s a small thing and easily repairable by veteran users.

“Having a problem”-wise, probably not. However you most likely won’t see immutable distro won’t boot problem. This is not the case with Arch. To be fair, aside from gaming, I’m getting close to recommend more of the stable side of the distros to beginners, like LMDE or pure Debian.

While I’m a happy EndeavourOS user, I don’t think Arch-based distros are for beginners, even if they work perfect, which they are most of the time. The problem is the most part. Because a beginner can’t fix a problem, even a simple one if they have no idea about Linux. It doesn’t have problems often, but even one time is enough for beginners and it’s a deal breaker.

I would say Umamusume but don’t get into it if you don’t really have much time.

His expectations are just Unreal.

That’s nice. Then I see no reason not to use auto-update.

You can still go auto-update way but setup something like Timeshift, so if something breaks you can just roll the backup and boot regularly.

Chaotic good:

Make it skippable but “Let’s put an achievement for watching the whole credits”

But that at least shows some people are in search to possibly replace Windows.

Didn’t know about this page, thanks!

Of course they don’t but it would be funny to see if Windows users spend their time with compatibility layers just this once. You know, for the sake of chaotic good.

And here I just want Half Life 3 to be Linux exclusive for 1 year. I mean, if you make a console-like, you might as well go some exclusives. :)

Even if it won’t be that high, it’s definitely gonna cost more than Steam Deck.

I have a similar machine from 2011, though it’s x64 >> Samsung N150P. I used it as a typewriter for a couple years and I can suggest the same for you if you have such interests. However later I turned it into a homeserver and currently it serves as Pi-hole, Jellyfin, syncthing etc. Without x64, server might be tough but typewriter wouldn’t mind. For general daily stuff, it’s not really useful.

Possibly months later.

No problem!

Yeah, it took me kinda long to find about it as well. By the way, if you decide to install it, don’t forget to also install a GUI for it, something like iwgtk for example. Good luck!

It is indeed a pain to use on Linux. We have a similar (maybe the same) Macbook Air and recently I had to deal with the same thing to make it usable. I have tried many different distros, and most of the time I had to install the broadcom-wl driver via phone-tethering. Installing or even using dkms version is not the only problem too, the driver is also awful. The distro I settled was LMDE, surprisingly it was the only distro that came with Broadcom drivers, which was a plus at first. However it deteriorated so fast as you described, I had to find a permanent solution. My solution was completely ditching broadcom-wl drivers in favour of Intel’s iwd driver.

iwd also has performance issues time to time, but at least disabling/re-enabling it solves the issue, unlike had to restart the Macbook with broadcom-wl.

I also tried to replace the Broadcom Wi-Fi module by opening the back cover of Macbook since I had a Wi-Fi card laying around, but sadly the one on Macbook was not a nowadays’ standard M2 unit, so couldn’t done it.

I see. Those indeed are not possible on Wayland, at least not the way that was on Xorg. KDE has a built-in tool like xprop but I don’t know if it can be used on its own other than running it via KDE settings (There is Detect window properties option under Window rules.)

From my own experience, using global keys was quite a hassle. I have found some workarounds to some but it’s still an open issue for me. Wayland has changed how a lot things work and I believe there will be solutions or at least workarounds to all Xorg tools in time, maybe with something like Flatseal but for Wayland but main issue which is security remains, so I don’t know how things will go.
