  • there are to many options and preferences

    What you need isn’t what everyone needs. I suspect you’ll have a very hard time finding massive numbers of windows users who only need a terminal.

    I sincerely hope that you don’t need one distribution for games and another for developers, Having to reboot to play games is why we’ve had such bad penetration for years.

    Every distro needs to be able to handle all the video cards from the last decade. Lutris and Steam need to run really well everywhere or we’ll take forever to get proper market penetration.


  • I see your /s but we all watched Linux Sebastian burn an easy distro to the ground with ample warnings while refusing to read any information about the distro. And he’s on the long side of the Dunning-Kruger curve for windows.

    I think we need everything to work out of the box on all major hardware, no terminal commands, video accelerators working by default and steam to be a one-click install.

    Honestly, Day 1’ers, I’d rather they run Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, or Fedora. There are strong communities that are noob friendly. Go ahead and install Steam, get some games working, get their feet wet. 99% of the time, they don’t need more than basic stuff. Once they’re over being afraid of not being in windows, then start distro hopping to whatever they want.







  • Not OP, but…

    Finding a single server that fits my interests is the first stumbling block. I follow 30-40 communities here, so I need to pick just one focus, which kinda sucks, TBF.

    So I picked one, It was too quiet, but it was a start, then I started looking for interesting people. Hardly anyone famous, the few that I did find ended up being the ones that turned out to be creeps in the news, even assuming they were real accounts, which is probably a generous assumption. When I finally found the few people I wanted to follow, they gradually disappeared over time to Bluesky.

    WIth their community lines being split per server and no discovery other than randomly finding someone with your tastes while bebopping around on your server. It wasn’t a good experience.
