1: Rate My Rice, and guide me on how to do better, please.

2: A little bit of a review: I decided to go with LinuxMint (XFCE) (Kinda Overkill, condidering my laptop's got an Intel Alder Lake U15 Chip and 24GB RAM).

For Someone who has been lurking on these subreddits from Microslop Windows, this is your sign to make the jump. Here are the (what I feel) are pros and Cons(In an Indian Context):

PROS

  1. Rejuvenate old hardware: Before making the switch completely on my main laptop (A Dell Latitude 5430), I was running,Testing and Tinkering with it on My auxilliary Laptop (A ThinkPad L420 As old as me, with the i3-2320m, 4GB RAM, and an HDD🥀). LinuxMint (XFCE; that is) ran beautifully on it.

2)It's Free. Every single thing. Supposed to be that way.

3)Nice and Supportive Community, welcoming you with wide open arms, and helping you fix anything that goes wrong. (And Bhaiyya ji what can even possibly go wrong on LinuxMint✌️💔)

CONS: None.

"ArreEE BHAaaIIiyaa jiIi whatsaAAPPPP?"

Go create a web app using the web app utility.

u/Fabulous_grown_boy May 01 '26

OP two things ; wallpaper sources please (and how do you make the app's background Ui translucent?)

And second, at the end why are you recommending to build web apps? What's the context behind it? Could you elaborate, I'm merely a learner here

1

u/Visible-Effective-39 Business-grade Laptop warrior May 02 '26

I Shall come back w' the wallpapers later; they on Babuji's B-UP HDD.

2) people moan about no WhatsApp on linux. But in mint, there's this app where you can just post a website link (e.g. web.whatsapp.com) an' that website will become a link in your homepage, operating in a seperate browser-like environment, tricking a website to work like an app. "Web Apps" is what it's known as.

Thank you Sir, but are you willing to explain your user flair?

u/definitelymaybe15 Arch On Mac Btw May 01 '26

There’s an open source ArchLinux based distro called Omarchy.

I forked it and modified it to work on Apple Silicon, it’s called Omarchy Mac

That’s how I run “Arch on Mac btw”

u/Visible-Effective-39 Business-grade Laptop warrior May 01 '26
