Thanks I’ll get back to you if I have any questions .

Thanks

So should I believe hired squirrel or not ? I’m guessing not ?

Really ? Do I pay them online or offline and how does it work ? Does the offer still stand if I first try to do it myself and then mess up and need someone ?

Yes I was looking at System76 the prices are a bit high for me even with the specs lowered but maybe I’ll treat meself .

Does mints flavor matter ? XFCE flavour . Also I thought mint was well maintained you just casually turned my entire world view of OS’s mate .

Nice I’ll follow through on that advice thanks .

Yeah I should probably have a second USB

I read a post on reddit of a guy whose WiFi stopped working after he made it his primary and he said that it worked on live USB . He was running mint too believe that’s where I got the idea that this could be an issue . Also I know you can google how to fix it but most guides on how to fix something usually requires a PC .

For sure me too . Thanks for the ELI5 . I also never knew raspberry PI was that limited since I never had one . I just thought it was just a low performance issue not a compatibility software one well TIL .

Really ? You are sure right ? I read a post on reddit of a guy whose WiFi stopped working after he made it his primary and he said that it worked on live USB . He was running mint too I believe, same as me with no other device .

Oh man I don’t mean to be rude but half of what you just said went over my head . The other half is telling me that it isn’t there yet except on some devices ? Am I right ?

Idk how to Reply to the Lemmy face value point i mean it was IS everywhere and the long exposure and even reddit becoming slightly more linuxy convinced me that maybe Linux has become good for beginners . Also I’m barely getting in Linux world I don’t think I’m gonna start tampering enough to break anything…yet .

Haha for sure looking a lot like that just waiting to get more answers to my 1,2,3 questions.

I don’t game much if at all so that’s not a concern .

I don’t game much if at all and I’d be happy to switch to libreoffice .

Thanx a lot my guy or gal or whoever you are .

Regarding RISC-V Vs x64 does it really matter what architecture your PC is running?

Idk I thought if some company is making open source cpu’s and works, I should support it as its more private and is more sure to not have backdoors .

Regarding Zorin OS or Mint. Which one do you like to look at the most? Have you watched reviews of them?

I’m actually running Mint of a live USB right now . I haven’t watched any review of zorin OS yet but if UI is all that changes I guess I’ll stay with mint .

Wdym ? One of the reason I jumped on the Linux train is because everyone on lemmy saying nowadays Linux just works, its not like the old times , mint is now more stable than W11 etc .

Will check that out .
