I'd honestly be very cautious with anything google. Aegis would probably be a better option.

What was your first operating system or Linux Distribution? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] MrPenguinSky@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

First os: technically the Wii's os and android

First Linux: Ubuntu 16.04 (I remember it like it was yesterday 🥲)

Windows is hell, i need to do something in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Fedora will always be my go-to, and the KDE spin should be pretty familiar layout wise for former windows users.

Since you have an nvidia gpu, Pop OS will probably be your best bet if you need it working immediately.

I wouldn't recommend Ubuntu anymore, as it's been pushing snaps (package manager) MS-style, and it's gotten some shit from the community for various reasons over the years.

Linux Mint is also good, too. It's very easy to just get up and going, perfect for people who aren't familiar with Linux, too.

Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] MrPenguinSky@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I distrohopped so many times I can't even remember everything I used.

Now I'm just on Fedora for my desktops, and Rocky on my server. Everything (mostly) works, so I'm fine with it.

COSMIC lock screen will be customizable with themes in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hoping someone packages it for gentoo 🤞

[Lemmy active users] 28th of September was the only day with more monthly active Lemmy users than the previous one, probably thanks to the release of Boost for Lemmy in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I haven't noticed any outages recently. I'm pretty sure the situation has gotten better at this point.
