Linus and Linux showdown
Linus and Linux showdown
Isn't it annoying that he chose Manjaro instead of Ubuntu or PopOS? And why not go with KDE like Luke? It seems like a default choice isn't set for these options. Plus, the design choices feel inconsistent—no one seems to have a clear direction or vision for how everything should look.
Well, it's the range and diversity of options, not just the number of choices, that truly matters when working with a Linux distribution.
Linus initially tried Pop!_OS but ran into problems early on. He eventually switched to Manjaro with KDE, which Anthony suggested. It's actually a decent option, even though I wouldn't have chosen it. Manjaro is reliable and KDE has been quite solid for me. It was a bit annoying when Linus didn’t read the error message and just tried to install Steam, which caused his system issues. Still, that’s part of the challenge, right? As a regular user, I’m curious about trying Linux daily. I remember he was on Linux Mint but was considering switching. While Gnome is common for many distros, it’s not the only one and represents a big change from Windows. KDE and Cinnamon (from Mint) feel more familiar compared to what Linus and Luke were used to.
You don’t have to be part of it. Just because someone else seems interested doesn’t mean you need to follow suit. It’s about your own needs and preferences.
I've been using Linux since 2013 and recently tried Manjaro, which turned out to be quite challenging. It taught me something, though it shouldn't be presented as a beginner's distro—it doesn't match the reality. What bothers me is that he understands this situation; it's ironic given his background. Arch Meme is everywhere online, likely to boost views and subscriptions. I have mixed opinions about his series: they definitely attracted many new users to Linux, but they could also deter others.
those interested in purchasing games from the Microsoft Store should understand this isn't his responsibility. Accusing him of it doesn't reflect the true intent behind using a store. It feels more like saying, "just play what works on Linux and don’t try to change the bistro."
Do you feel frustrated when an app bought from the Mac App Store fails on your Windows computer? Would you hold the Windows operating system responsible if someone creates a modified version and shares it online? Updated November 6, 2021 by HumbleProblems that -> the
I see where you're coming from. If a problem exists in a distribution, it's frustrating when others downplay it and act like they don't care. This situation is unique. The Microsoft marketplace has the poorest cross-platform support and multi-device options compared to some closed systems. Minecraft illustrates this perfectly: purchasing it through Microsoft means your account is locked there, restricting use elsewhere. Buying directly from Mojang lets you play on any compatible device, even older ones like WiiU—no restrictions!
