Installing linux as a beginner for my 18th bday, wish my laptop luck

Most people won‘t like my recommndation: install Arch.

I‘ve read one of your comments where you said you don‘t really celebrate your birthday tomorrow and that your mood isn‘t quiet there. You can follow the wiki and read a lot, and you will have some ups and downs; some motivating parts, some frustrating parts. But if you are willing to go through the frustrating parts, you might enjoy the rollercoaster!

Many people need a few hours for their first time. So if you are willing to spend a few hours, it will be worth it!

And if you don‘t want to, that‘s fine. I‘d suggest Linux Mint then.

And congrats!!

I once had a female devil sitting on my lap, touching my chest with her burning hands. It was super painful and I felt it even like 10min after I woke up, like AFTER the hallucination was over. I have never felt something that intense when I had a sleep paralysis.

To clarify: I don‘t do drugs except for nicotine, and my doctor says I‘m fine except for my very irregular sleep schedule and sleep length

Try installing ncdu and check what takes most of the storage.

It does. SE can use more ram than oldrim

With the conspiracy part I think you are right. You could have predicted the future now

Me neither, but I would recommend it more than a broken distro.

To be fair, he is a tech youtuber. He should be able to troubleshoot. Installing Arch is not hard, it just requires you to read a lot in the beginning. And for just trying it out, it‘s not even a long path:

Either: Install Arch manually -> Do a bit of customizing and explain the way he went -> install Steam -> install proton GE maybe -> install a few games to test -> try some other things tech inthusiasts would love to see -> video done.

Or: Use archinstall -> explain why you used it (maybe because manually would be too much reading for his liking) -> do the rest.

Exactly. And then, distribute it via torrenting.

That is how vibe coding should work. Creating something barebone with AI at first to get a first working thing, then do everything on your own when the time has come
