Love your criteria

Chances are they came from reddit too lol

I like grr.la because I can sign in into the services with any random name @grr.la before opening the temporarily mail site, and sometimes I find out that it wasn’t required to confirm the mail, saving some time

When you said 16 years, I was expecting something like a core 2 duo and 2gb of ram, but you got some nice specs in there. Any common distro will run fine. Users coming from windows tend to like linux mint, so that’s my suggestion.

What kind of differences?

It’s nice to see a good application of ai. I hope my low end stuff will be able to run it.

Here in Brazil, there are still a lot of laptops, monitors and tvs being sold with that resolution.

Thank you for the list. We have a tendency to criticize bad actors, but we forget that it’s important to promote the ones going the right direction.

It would be unrealistic to expect a faster growth. The userbase already used windows and the global linux userbase is small. People don’t change habits so easily, and most still don’t see a reason to.

I’m not really serious, but I’d consider making a test or two, thanks.

I read that compiled software can be more optimized for our devices, but my devices that could benefit the most from compiled software are the ones that are inviable to compile software with.

It’s not competing, but collaborating with climate change

Okular is awesome. I use it even on gnome.

In order to create a “viable” search engine business, Apple would be required to “sell targeted advertising,” which is “not a core business” for the company and would go against its “longstanding privacy commitments.”

Not a CORE business. Hmmmmm.

That reminds me of a distro I used (don’t remember which one) that automatically applied a Christmas theme on grub every December. It was really cute, with a tux wearing a red hat (pun not intended) and walking around.

My same reaction. I bet most people don’t even know the term.

In windows, we get the entire os as a single product, and we don’t have a choice in anything. On linux, it’s the contrary. The os if formed by several software distributed separately and joined together like lego pieces. Each linux distro is a compilation of software, a particular combination of lego pieces created and maintained by some group.

So, even the system graphical interface is a lego piece like any other, and each distro comes with one by default. Kde and gnome are some of the most popular interfaces. You can also replace almost any lego piece from the system by another of your choice, unlike on windows.

I hope I helped you understand linux a bit better. It all will become much more simple to you with a little more time. Be welcome to the community.

So far, people are being pretty reasonable. Most are recommending mint, ubuntu or similars, and no one recommended arch to someone with basic linux/computing skills. I have to say I’m impressed. Restored my faith in the community.

That was really helpful. Do you have any more tips on spotting ai generated text?
