I agree. I don’t trust any of the shilling surrounding their distros.
Why would Ubuntu be better for beginners?
I personally don’t see much value of Mint or Ubuntu over Debian.
They all suffer from the same issue: lack of a user repository. This means any layman is going to immediately be turned off by the distro and the whole Linux experience as soon as they want to install something that isn’t in their distro’s repository.
Neither derivative distro can be considered ‘easier’ because of this. Might as well just go with Debian and cut out the middlemen.
Try Manjaro. It will be the easiest to set up and find software that hasn’t been deliberately packaged for your setup.
So the only thing determining whether tesla is good or bad in your eyes is the ceo?
They never provided competitive value to customers, even when Musk was taking the left for a ride.
It’s honestly the fate of most edutainment videos.
Eventually they run out of cool stuff to educate people on, so they pivot to hypotheticals.
Wouldn’t be any different from previous generations thinking they know something without having experience to back it up.
There’s not really a way around this, and I think one of the explainer channels actually went into depth about it.
They gave an example of how everyone learns that the earth is a sphere, but once you ‘dig deeper’ you find it’s not actually a sphere because it’s elongated at the equator (making it a spheroid.) You can then ‘dig even deeper’ and find that the earth isn’t really a spheroid, it has mountains and all kinds of other inconsistencies that don’t matter to most people but can make a difference to an expert.
The real takeaway is that we should not consider ourselves experts, or even significantly more knowledgeable about a subject because we saw a video on one of these channels. They’re for entertainment first.
I can tell you’re a member of the next generation.
Gonna ignore you now.
This is a philosophical discussion and I doubt you are educated or experienced enough to contribute anything worthwhile to it.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•A smarter, simpler Firefox address bar | The Mozilla Blog9·17 days agoCan we have a dropdown menu like we had in the 2000s?
Not sure why we decided removing the scrollbar and only showing the top 8 entries was a good idea.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Does Windows virtual machine crash due to low RAM?1·17 days agoVMs will crash because of running out of RAM.
It sounds like that’s exactly what’s happening with your setup, however you probably don’t need to buy more RAM to fix it.
Type
free
, orfree -h
, into a terminal to see how much RAM and swap space is being used.Swap is a tool that allows you to use your storage drive as additional RAM when necessary. If nothing indicates swap usage when using
free
, then you need to enable swap space.Ask AI “How do I enable swap on Linux” and it should give you good instructions.

Technology@lemmy.world•Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the USEnglish112·19 days agoWe need to keep in mind that businesses like Apple are already charging the most they think customers are willing to pay.
Tariffs will hurt their bottom line by causing them to lose more in sales than they can make up for by raising unit prices.
How exactly does canonical make their distribution more usable than Debian?
Why?
They’re the exact same as in Ubuntu…
Which is a benefit to new users. They shouldn’t be conditioned to be using snaps, anyways.
