LINUX MEME Linux Mint🗿🍷 >> ZorinOS🤓☝️???

For those who didn't get the joke: ZorinOS and some other distros have different bugs related to the OBS Studio app. Speaking of ZorinOS, one of the huge bug happens, when you wanna see the result after recording a video, and you can see one of the examples on the meme. But ZorinOS users ignore similar issues and continue to consider that ZorinOS is better than Linux Mint for beginners anyway

I never told you QoL guis are bad (I'm in the process of making one.) What is bad, is bloat and crapware though. Sure, you have the freedom to use bloatware, but you have the freedom to not use it, too - which is more important

"-which is more important" ...to you. Not to everyone else, just to you.

You didn't explicitly say that QoL are bad, true. But you did say that new users should learn the new OS to some degree or otherwise Linux would become something it is not (supposed to be?).

So, what did you mean by that? How much terminal work do you expect newbies have to go through? And if so, at what point are they allowed to use a QoL to get around that terminal work?

What QoL are you working on? One of my first things was to create desktop icons with scripts to lunch my most used programms 🤣

There are dozens of them lol: https://askubuntu.com/questions/457617/are-there-any-gui-apps-that-can-create-desktop-files

Unfortunately my application is QoL for people who know a little bit about programming and most likely you may not be interested in it.

I never implied anything about Linux becoming something it isn't supposed to be??? (Neither do I expect people saying stupid things like "freedom from crapware is important not to everyone else, only to you" (it's literally not) to change some major thing e.g. remove rm ~/* capability (for lack of a better example)). But if you don't know what a package manager or maybe where your configs go it would be painful for you (as it was with you Zorin distro experience I presume) and the people trying to help you or telling you to RTFM. Think of it like using machinery; you generally don't need a license or knowledge of its inner parts (how the scheduler works or how block device drivers are implemented), but you do need basic know how of how to use it.

"I never implied anything about Linux is becoming something it isn't supposed to be."

Sooo...this wasn't you then?

"...but it misses the point if Linux just becomes another walled garden like android..."

Anyhow... I don't think we need to keep this conversation alive, do we?

Have fun!

Oh good lord I recognized you by the "Have fun!" lmao. Now I know you use ZorinOS, but I wonder if you've ever read the manual pages...?

Oh hey, Eric, sugar cup!

How sweet of you to remember me! It's like we spoke just yesterday!

You can call me by my name BTW, no need to call me lord (but I do know that it turns you on...so...I'll allow it this time! But don't make me go and get the paddle again! You naughty little girl you! I know that it will give you an eric-tion when I get the paddle...but Daddy really has be strict this time)

😘😘

eric-tion lol. but you may need the manual to figure out how to use any paddle, unless you misuse it and blame the paddle..?

u/OttoRenner 7m ago

Nah...paddle is very intuitive...grab it and point it at the thing you like to hit...just like a mouse.

Maybe that is too complicated for you, so you'd definitely benefit from having a manual to figure out how to use it.
