I can’t recommend Garuda because they have somehow configured their sddm to not want to work with other desktop environments. Admin on the forums said it themselves. I’d recommend arcolinux because it doesn’t shove you into such restraints. Installation is a simple menu to install everything right away.

You can search themes yourself in the settings. I’m sure windows 7 is an option.

It’s common for windows updates to delete boot parts or Linux, corrupt grub, etc. That is only when windows and Linux are installed on the same drive together. I have yet to see Windows corruping Linux on a separate drive entirely. Never happened to me despite how much I mess up my grub updates distro hop.

I’d recommend having the Linux drive unplugged during the windows installation. Windows, for some reason, will install the boot loader in an entirely different drive than what you selected. There’s no question or prompt to prevent this. The only way to easily prevent this is to just have the one drive plugged in.

Make sure to use alcohol to clean the bed for every print/every 2/3 prints. I’ve heard trouble with glass bets and adhesion, so best of luck!

TIL there is electronic contact cleaner, I thought what you sprayed was a cleaning/solution for eye contacts. The cooling statement still stands, and I still do not think it is necessary to remove a print from the bed.

Contact cleaner is just saltwater, it does lead to one part of the bed getting cooled faster than the rest, which over time doesn’t improve the bed.

Just wait for it to cool and peel it off and it should be fine from here out.

Spraying conductive saltwater near powered electronics is something I do not recommend.

Windows 11’s TPM led me to believe I wouldn’t be able to upgrade my machine without windows thinking I need a new license, as it had happened for windows 11. I found a workaround but didn’t know if it would work for Windows 11 as well. I want to control my machine so I went with Linux.

Websites can be vague, or outdated. Is there any error from running the command?

I’d recommend KDE and Gnome. They’re the two most popular and mainstream DEs. If you ever plan on switching to another distro, being familiar with these two will benefit you.

If you feel really confident, you can start playing with window managers.

Most distros are the same under the hood. I’d recommend downloading different desktop environments. You can stay on Mint and keep all your files.

It’s all open source. You can merge them yourself. It is a massive technical challenge and pretty much impossible, it’d be like merging minecraft and fallout together.

People do make money off of open source projects, not just from donations, but sometimes providing prenium features, or providing their own servers instead of you maintaining your own.

There are project leaders, Linus has the final say in what does and does not make it into the Linux kernel.

Sir this is the Linux instance.

I’d start with Ubuntu. If there’s any niche software, it will probably run on Ubuntu/debian distros.

For getting your value out of it, I highly recommend emulation.

I think seeing how well the OLED versions of consoles sells, Nintendo will release their new switch with OLED, then make a cheaper non-oled version like the switch lite / 2ds /etc.

If I didn’t already buy the 512, the oled would be worth it imo

I’m in the same boat with my switch as well.

I’ve never used Wayland, x11 is fine for me.

I have also had issues with Wayland, but I have heard issues with Nvidia cards and Wayland.

Yeah, you look at how there are a handful of package managers, and hundreds of distros, they’re pretty much all the “same”

But yes gentoo and NixOS do things the most differently. But even on those you can game on them.

I mostly want to discourage distro hopping with the belief that they’re missing out on a program or desktop, only to end up on windows because they’re tired of reinstalling everything.
