NixOS has fascism problem
Guix is superior.
Mint is my recommendation for anyone straying from Windows.
I don’t really agree, I’d recommend something KDE based instead since it’s more similar to modern Windows. Probably actually something like Aurora would be good to recommend since it’s immutable and not easy to screw up. And it comes with Flathub built right in.
I’ve been recommending bazzite. Mainly cause if they haven’t migrated yet, then it’s a great stepping stone cause it’s a complete out of the box experience and the default layout kinda mimics windows.
I’m struggling with Mint today. The Bluetooth handling of my headphones and earbuds is dogshit. It connects and then immediately disconnects, shows Error: Unknown error, and I have to unpair my phone and desktop PC from the headphones to get them to pair properly.
Also I’m looking for Mint versions of Green shots and Fancy Zones that have close functionality to those windows apps, and I haven’t found anything suitable yet.
I’ve also not had any Bluetooth issues, but I’ve not got Bluetooth integrated into my machine.
I use a cheap USB dongle for it. Maybe that could help? They usually cost less than $10 (though this was pre-AI tech prices).
Obviously there would just be a fix for it (and maybe there is), but his is a good placeholder/fallback solution.
Or indeed another distro might be the way. Though yeah that’s a PitA too.
I’ve never had a problem with Bluetooth. Vlc windowing on the otherhand
I’ve had issues with my headphones disconnecting too, it may be my kernel version. If you are looking for a screenshot utility, flameshot has served me well.
Flameshot is pretty good, but Greenshot allows me to single click capture a region without confirming to save. I use that workflow to zip through service calls, capping remote screens, sections of log files, config files, ect and have them save somewhere where I can go and review or mark them up later. Press PrtScrn, mouse down, drag, mouseup, done.
Having to go looking for the save button and click it is a small additional step, but it still adds time to that workflow where I might be capturing a screenshot region once every second.
The buttons in flameshot are all over the place, but when saving I tend to use Ctrl + S or Ctrl + C. There isn’t a single click capture though, and my old screenshot software that I used called ShareX had that, and I’ve missed it since switching over to Linux.
I stick with the 3.5mm wired connection. No charging, no battery, no pairing issues, and full fidelity.
I stick to a slate and chalk, never had any driver issues or updates break anything, and it’s full resolution and never needs charging.
You might get a high resolution but the refresh rate is horrible.
How many ohms is that?
0 because flirting with Linux users gets electric with no resistance
can there maybe be socks which like - go above the waist up above the the torso - and above the shoulders -
for windows 11 pro users?
/j.,… but I would like those socks still
I like the video they put >v<
Gentoo is the giant cock behind the skirt.
The best of both worlds!
Thank god the skirt comes standard no matter the distro, I thought I was weird
I’m sitting here pondering how it is that there’s so much overlap between coders and femininity. Is there a connection between the habits of coders and a desire for comfortable stockings? Am I just seeing a small sample size (due to this being Lemmy)?
Or, perhaps, is it simply the spirit of our coding foremothers calling coders back to their ancestral roots?
Either way, carry on, you lovely people. Rock those socks!
Polymorphism kinda makes you realise everything is bullshit.
Discrimination on the workfloor, dysphoria -> pick job with little irl socialisation needed -> IT
is my guess
I think it’s that with software everything is malleable and nothing is fixed. So it would appeal to someone who wants to change their environment or self.

sitting on your ass all day and typing isn’t exactly lifting bricks or hunting elephants
Linux Mint user, currently wearing ankle socks. Meme accuracy confirmed.
I ain’t no coder, but right now I’m wearing ankle socks and very soft and comfortable sweat pants while running Fedora Atomic Budgie and drinking tea.
I run Mint and Kubuntu: have both ankle socks and crew socks.
… I’m not kidding.
OpenSUSE: Socks in sandals.
OpenSUSE is truly Fedora with sandals
I don’t understand.
OpenSUSE comes from Germany, we have the stereotype that we wear socks in sandals.
Oh, ok.
NixOS user, Rust programmer, and bagpiper. The socks go higher than S, but usually get folded down below the knee. And they’re not rainbow, that wouldn’t match the outfit.
Linux from scratch?
Tights

If you’re really hardcode, you can also write a compiler first.
just machine language sib
sigh fiiiinnnee! I’ll learn nix then!
come! We even have a Lesbian Nix interpreter!
That name is pure genius.
Whaaaaaaaat. Ok, I’m sold! 😻
What is the S tier one? Which one represents Socks higher than A tier? I ask because I like to wear thigh highs which go all the way up leaving no gap at all.
Many Linux distros are good, distro choosers help. But imho, for OSes and especially Linux distros the importance imho is the following.
DISCLAIMER: I don’t condone distro wars. Whatever you have probably works, this is just my personal opinion.
a) FOSS (otherwise it ain’t Linux). Helps in auditing and to spot bugs faster.
b) Secure (if it’s compromised, what are the risks? is it frequently updated and/or stable?).
c) Highly customisable - freedom! Being able to pick “Windows/Mac/other” looks is just one part of it. Being able to modify more parts helps for your user case.
d) User-friendly - works out of the box or installs only what’s needed, no bloatware. Accessibility settings.It also depends on how well you know Linux and how to deal with computers in general.
Let’s include non-Linux:
F-tier; Uninstall that shit
Windows - paid, proprietary, bloat- and spyware.
Red Star OS - filled with DPRK spyware.E-tier; Also don’t recommend
Macintosh - much more usable and secure than Windows, but that’s it. Very propietary and commercialised.
Red Hat OS - too commercial.D-tier; Your choice, but could be better
Ubuntu - stable, mainly useful for servers, and beginner-friendly. However, it hogs a lot of resources and isn’t as secure or private.
ElementaryOS - very beautiful and MacOS-like, but somewhat commercialised and should improve in terms of security.C-tier; Has its niche great usage
QubesOS - best for security imho together with Arch. It’s not user-friendly, but if you care about safety from an OS being seized… it’s also good in combination with Whonix.
Whonix - Debian fork, focused on security.
Tails - best for privacy, you’ll need to shut down the computer before restarting though.
NixOS - manages packages very well.B-tier; Good all-around, only few large issues
Debian - adheres well to the core principles of Linux, very stable. Maybe a bit too stable.
Arch Linux - arguably the least nonsense, but it’s not very beginner-friendly, though has a lot of help guides.A-tier; Smaller issues
Linux Mint - “it just works”. Still has some proprietary and small security concerns, but it’s what I’d recommend for people new to Linux, especially when coming from Windows.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed - German, has excellent security, good for sysadmins especially. User-friendly installer and has a lot of customisation.S-tier; Hallelujah
Fedora Linux - generally user-friendly, has great security too. Actively developed by a FOSS community.I know Fedora and Debian are the best ones (I use Debian on any machines which need long uptime and I’m looking to use Fedora or a derrivative on the Tablet I’m planning to get). I was mainly asking in the context of the chart the OP showed since it lists sock heights that are all lower than the thigh highs I wear. So I was wondering which distro would correlate with the sock height I have.
Ah in that case, Linux from Scratch would be the highest, that’s basically “make your own bloody socks”.
Or maybe QubesOS, while it’s not as well-known as Arch, it’s also not meant for beginners.
Maybe OpenSUSE, but that’s more like Fedora or Debian level.
Possibly something like Fedora universal blue also? Provided you build it yourself instead of just using the pre-built versions.
I think OpenSUSE is more at the Fedora or Debian Level, maybe a bit less friendly.
Also, Linus runs fedora, that’s gotta count for a lil something, 😆
what about no socks?
Slackware.
Socks are a new fad and won’t catch on.
Footwraps allow YOU, not the manufacturer, to decide how exactly you want to cover your feet, and offer much more flexibility.Windows of course
How dare you!
TempleOS!
Mint. Not socks, leggings, and they go all the way up
