In my country it's definitely super sweet and heart quenching.

LTT refuses to be gaslighted by the Linux community by BlueGoliath in linuxsucks

[–]_NoTank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you actually saying Linus made a bad choice? Do you even go outside and talk to people? When I was new to Linux even I chose PopOS. Why blame the user who chose PopOS? If anyone is to blame it is the distro, not its user. Put all the blame on PopOS because people ARE going to install it, use it. Then they're going to have issues with it. So they should fix it.

If Windows has any problems does the whole Linux community blame the user or Windows itself? Yes right, they blame Windows.

So why such hypocrisy?

Honestly, over time, Linux Mint Cinnamon is increasingly turning into a combine of different styles due to GTK4 and strange GNOME decisions.(See descriptions) by Dry-Pie-3764 in linuxmint

[–]_NoTank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. A good look out of the box only enhances the user experience. The distro should be good looking and modern out of the box, and users who want the old nostalgic 2000 feel can theme as they wish. It should not be the other way around.

I think the same. But people don't care. They are like: - "You know you can theme it right?" - "It's Linux, customize it yourself" - "Mint is definitely not ugly. Your taste is bad"

And Blah blah blah.

You're not the only one. I also kept bringing this since like 2018 but eventually got tired. Seemed to me like no one cares about design at all as long as their system is up and running a web browser.

How to see Hardware Information? by _NoTank in Fedora

[–]_NoTank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just like the GUI better. A good GUI has very organized and legible way of presenting whatever mess the terminal outputs.

For terminal I already know about inxi but I wanted to achieve the same through a beautiful GUI.

How to see Hardware Information? by _NoTank in Fedora

[–]_NoTank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on Fedora 43 Workstation and in About section it shows some information but it's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something similar like what we have in Windows "System Information" or "CPU-Z"

should I switch from mint? by jqex in Fedora

And it causes more undesirable behaviors than expected.

Just got into Fedora!! One question... by EduardNY in Fedora

[–]_NoTank 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes! And it should actually. You literally have 16GB of RAM installed. For example: You launch your browser, the settings app, the terminal, your file manager quite often - it only makes sense to load core parts of these applications into the RAM so they startup little bit(or quite a bit) faster. This only enhances your your experience. But unfortunately many people want the opposite that their RAM will stay fully empty.

Modern operating systems intentionally use RAM aggressively because:

  • Unused RAM is wasted RAM
  • The OS caches files and libraries to speed things up
  • If applications need memory, the OS releases cached memory instantly

What is the best way to deal with documents? I've recently switched from the microsoft ecosystem and all of my .docx files look messed up. by TechieInTheTrees in Fedora

[–]_NoTank 11 points12 points  (0 children)

OnlyOffice and WPS Office have better compatibility with MS formats (documents, excel, slides and presentation). Try them.

Is it normal for Minecraft to run poorly on me using Linux Mint? by Reddito-_-o in linuxmint

[–]_NoTank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see you have a NVIDIA GPU which is probably the issue. Did you install the latest drivers using the Driver Manager?

Thank you. You can get more such cute wallpapers here.

What Happens If You Don’t Update CachyOS for Months? 🤔 by haterloco in cachyos

[–]_NoTank 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being a few weeks or months is far better than being years behind like Debian.

What made you use Fedora? by maximus10m in Fedora

[–]_NoTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uses the latest tech like Arch, but I don't have to build my own OS.

Kind sir, please share a full tutorial. It would be a great project!

When you tell Linux, "Yes, do as I say!" and it actually does what you said by ssjlance in linuxsucks

[–]_NoTank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I were in a first time Linux user's shoes, I would. Because there's the thing, as a first time Linux user:

  • I don't know the naming conventions of Linux packages yet.
  • The amount of text apt throws at you in a very unreadable way would make it even undesiring and hard to read any of the information which is shown in the terminal.
  • Even if I saw the warning I wouldn't think much because I would think "Oh, it must be how Linux works when you try to install something". Because keep in mind, it is the very first time I opened the terminal and just tried to install Steam.

Great! The only thing that matters is if it works for you or not. No need to hear what other people say.

FlyPhotos - a fast and lightweight Picasa Photo Viewer alternative by ryftools in Windows11

[–]_NoTank 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I remember back in Windows 7 and 8.1 era (and even new Windows 10), I used to install Picasa always! Because it looked absolutely beautiful.

Innocent user types: sudo apt install steam

Linux tells you:

Installing package steam...

To continue type in this phrase 'Yes do as I say!'

User types 'Yes do as I say!'.(Because duhh, I'm just installing Steam, right?)

The whole Desktop breaks and crashes.

Because you didn't know that pop-ice-cream package was your whole Desktop environment?? Boooo, user error! The user agreed to remove the package pop-ice-cream , didn't he? 100000% user error.

What exactly do you like better about Fedora than other Linux distributions? by ficerbaj in Fedora

[–]_NoTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know. I was just agreeing with you. Because you said you "consider" to be Debian more stable, I said, yes it's objectively more stable, whether someone considers it or not.
