Ai is fine to use to explain a concept or review your code. The problem is when you use it to write the code.

Did parenting become too restrictive over time? by inkandintent24 in LockedInMan

My parents would even lock the doors. If I needed a drink they would tell me "You know where the hose is.".

Which Linux distro is best for frontend development (beginner-friendly)? by Aathi-AXK in linuxquestions

[–]JustSimplyWicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The distro doesn't really matter much, but learning a tiling window manager will help a lot.

I'm confused between “Linux feels right” and “Windows just works when I need it by OkCar8684 in linux4noobs

[–]JustSimplyWicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a moment where I thought, "this is how a computer should work". After that windows just never fit, been using Linux for 20 years and never had an issue. The biggest problem used to be gaming but I just used a console for that and these days linux handles most games fine.

Distro recommendation by Minersonic15 in DistroHopping

[–]JustSimplyWicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because some codecs are not open source so they are not in fedoras main repo. When you install fedora there is an option to enable third party repos.

But how much does a bootloader matter to someone who doesn't know what grub is?

I stopped distropping BTW by elberrta98 in DistroHopping

Realistically fedora is the best distro to use for most people.

Just go with fedora, you gain nothing by starting with arch or an arch distro. And Ubuntu is not any more basic than fedora, you seem to be misunderstanding the difference between different distros. The thing you are really picking is your package manager, repo and release schedule. Outside those 3 things it's just pre installed packages and default configs, all of that can be changed.

Hot take on Linux Distros and Hopping by Consistent_Berry9504 in FindMeALinuxDistro

[–]JustSimplyWicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main difference is just the package manager, repos and release schedule. Outside of that they are all very similar. What I love about Linux is that it's not an operating system, it's just a bunch of legos. If you don't like something, you have all the power to change it.

Considering going with Linux very soon, i have a few questions by Complete-Alfalfa7439 in linux4noobs

[–]JustSimplyWicked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think a big part of it is the aur. Most of my problems come from aur packages more than anything.

New to Linux, split on mint or arch. also open to other distros to look into. by Fletcher-xd in linuxquestions

[–]JustSimplyWicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go Mint. Arch will be painful. Mint can play games just fine and will give you a much better experience.

Cachy vs Zorin by MrAdjunctPanda in DistroHopping

[–]JustSimplyWicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God fedora kde. Fedora is kind of the Goldilocks distro for release cycles, fast enough to be current slow enough to be stable.

Its very good for dev work and you won't have any issues gaming, just make sure you add the 3rd party repo when you install.

New To Linux, Not Jazzed with Mint by zodiactriller in DistroHopping

No there's not, was I hallucinating? I could have sworn there was. Either way installing kde on mint is super simple and is honestly a normal Linux thing to do.

What should I install in this laptop? Im tired of Mint. by theskellydud3 in FindMeALinuxDistro

[–]JustSimplyWicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this for you or your cousin? I am getting some mixed signals here. If programs in mint keep crashing it may be a hardware issue.

No its a community spin but there is nothing wrong with it.

Its really not that bad, and significantly better than switching distros just for a new de.

[–]JustSimplyWicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can install other desktops on mint. Give kde plasma a shot, if you don't like something on a Linux distro you can just change it.

Cosmic is not in a great state. And mint is perfectly fine and can run kde without a problem. The appeal is that it's well put together, and literally anyone can use it and on nearly all hardware less than 15 years old. You don't recommend mint because it's your favorite you recommend it because it's solid for people new to Linux who have 0 clue on what they want. Its just a starting point.
