  • I disagree sort of. I find it hard to believe a new distro is easier to set up than mint or Ubuntu and when it comes time to troubleshoot, youll get less support than the upstreams. Both searching existing posts and making new posts there will be less answers. Unless you make a search fo the upstream, and then there’s a chance your distro tweaked something and it’s different.

    What also makes me sus is that if influencers are promoting lesser-known distros, it might be paid. Which is fine but could mean plans to monetize that distro in the future.





  • As a more advanced user, I have to say, the problems don’t stop. Computers will never be “solved”. They just keep making new puzzles forever. That’s whats fun.

    The more advanced you get, well you can solve the easy problems off the top of your head, but now you have new problems and there are zero search results for your error message. If you can’t figure it out from the docs or irc you just have to read source code.

    I try to document stuff as I find it, even if it means resurrecting an ancient thread. I often search for things and get one result, and it’s me answering my own question a few years ago.
