To be fair, there's already a general consensus in which are the "beginner friendly" distros, which includes the community support and familiarity with windows. Most people would probably recommend Mint to a new or switching user, for example.

After someone is used to a more basic linux distro, diversity and complexity are pros rather than cons. "Oh you need a distro with super specific specs for a niche use case? There's 5, you can pick or try them all". I could have linux on every machine i own, including a TV or even a thermostat, and I'd have a different setup.

I see no contradictions between "simple is good" and "monolitic/corporate based like windows and macos tend to be shit". If anything, reality is the opposite of what you think. We can have many different simple and ready to go distros, i mean that's like the whole point.

If you install windows, for example, you can use it for many things, and it'll be mid crap in all of that and need hours of setting up (not to mention some mandatory scripts to get the bare minimum of efficiency, privacy, and clean adware and bloatware). Then, if you need to game, just install nobara and go. Need to do office or web-based stuff? Mint all the way. Same thing but you like apple aesthetic? Try Zorin. I could go on and on for hours with different use cases and distros, but you should get the thing by now.

Plot twist: you're running the same distro

jnk ,

I've seen examples of this already where schools give kids laptops running a custom linux distro for education and they just roll with it. Also, the steamdeck happened, and a lot of people loved it before even realizing it's just linux... We should definitely give more support to companies shipping machines with linux preinstalled (even if the first thing I'll do is another install lol)

    My guy i bet you're frustrated, shit happens a lot, but you should take a break and some deep breaths before asking for help. No one wants to help a clearly angry person.

    Have you tried asking gpt itself what tried to do? Tell it also what actually happened when you ran the code. If you use GPT, don't use it blindly and definitely never run generated code on your main machine if you don't know what it does.

    Can you replicate the error and share screenshots? Maybe edit the post so more knowledgeable people bothers to read and help?

    Anti malware that can detect cracks and flag them as so, but can also distinguish from trojact and malware? Also, that can be configured to don't use too many resources when not required

    I was thinking, mbam, have you got other suggestions for Windows 10? Also, is there a good setup for when I'm running games I bought, and I don't need active scanning of threats? (Especially for legit games that use resources intensively)

    Extremely case where I'm going to defend windows; but Ms Defender never killed performance in a pc even if i had a low-end one.

    Considering all the bloatware windows has, OP would be better off fighting like literally every other program except Defender...

    jnk ,

    Oh i also agree with that, just wanted to clarify that

    What a bunch of greedy clowns. Not only that's illegal to do afaik, it's not even technically possible. Hell even if they could, that would accomplish absolutely nothing.

    The only thing they could've try to pull was to ask spanish ISPs to block IPTV altogether, but then again, easily solved with a VPN. Stupid fight to pick if you ask me.

    jnk ,

    I'm spanish, never even thought about searching for pirate iptv streams (just used some official ones).

    Just turned on some random free vpn and started to search for pirate iptv streams; 100% counterproductive ban lol.

    Edit: also jellyfin can get iptv along with my super legal media collection. Again, why? If you ban something, ban the streams not the client...

    No it is not by a long fucking shot. Our "socialist" party is NOT socialist, they're just "left" wing corrupted liberals. We basically only have [insert color]-wing corrupted liberals, anyone stating otherwise is just too deep in propaganda.

    Would you teach your kids how to pirate?

    My gf and I have had discussions about teaching morals to kids. In that vein, I asked myself, would I teach piracy to my kids? Yes, it’s technically illegal and carries inherent risks. But so does teenage sex carry the risks of teenage pregnancy, and so we have an obligation to children to teach them how to practice safe sex....

    jnk ,

    Nobody taught me, so I'm not teaching anyone.
    Nobody banned me from doing it tho, so there's my answer. Piracy is a consequence of freedom, among other things.

    Pretty sure it's both pointless and impossible to have an earth-like timezone system in an object that has coordinated rotation and translocation cycles. Meaning this mess we call "timezones" shouldn't exist in the moon.

    This bot is saving me from having to open the "article", try to decipher SEO bullshit modern journalism just to find shitpost like this, eat some ads, and unavoidable (at least on mobile) trackers, js, etc. Also personally hate link posts, i wish people put this kind of summaries in the actual post.

    Just ignore/block the bot and move on.

    Typical white-american sjw behavior: using the queer community as an immunity card to say whatever you want and call transphobes to anyone who disagrees.

    The queer community is a minority of latino america, they don't have the final say over the rest of the people just because, non-queer people also deserve proportional recognition you know. And even if they did, that "latine/latinx" bs was made up by a minority of the queer community in an attempt to simulate the (grammatical) gender-neutral language seen in English and inexistent in Spanish.

    So yeah, keep acting like forcing (again, grammatical) gender-neutral expressions over spanish-speaking cultures is not fucking racist. I'm gonna keep using the appropriate gender when speaking/using spanish words.

    I am a victim of the network effect who wishes to degoogle. What do I do?

    This post is going to be a bit personal (and maybe a little bit out of context, it's not just Google software I want to remove) but I'm tired of not knowing what to do about it. I want and have wanted to get rid of a bunch of proprietary software in my life, including but not limited to Google's software, for quite a while now,...

    Feels crazy no one has mentioned it yet, but Beeper finally got released a couple days ago. Check it up, I'd recommend you to use the "OLD" client tho, new one feels like a beta version.

    It's just a preconfigured matrix server with (proprietary) clients and easy to use bridges, it allows you to use multiple messaging networks in one app, so you could use signal or matrix chats with most people and keep only essential exceptios like the instagram class group.

    Really stupid easy to set up, and if you feel more concerned about privacy you can always search for a matrix homeserver with bridges or self-host your own (pretty complicated, wouldn't recommend too much).

    jnk ,

    Oh i agree on that, but matrix itself is open source, that's why i listed it too. The 3 options are good, but the more secure the more complicated.

    Beeper is the easiest, with the con of closed-source client (the server is open source and they contribute a lot to the matrix ecosystem, thus my trust in them). This is what I'm currently recommening to most people as a lesser bad just because how easy it is to use.

    Public matrix instances are good too, i personally use frei.chat, but most of them use unmodified matrix servers and there's a bunch of open source clients available. Bridges with other networks are configures through bots.

    Then you can self-host your own server, but it can get messy and expensive. I usually prefer to self-host everything, but decided to pass on matrix for now.
