I think the reason is because chromeOS is not open source and goes against the ethos of what people consider a linux distro. ChromeOS markets itself as its own standalone thing. “linux” as we refer to it is more than just a kernel otherwise we’d count pretty much everything as Linux.

The good thing about linux is a lot of the stuff can be done via bash in the CLI. If you need automation for browser tasks you can use python and selium. Which desktop environment are you using? There is a KDE kdotool and ydotool for general use.

Ddg gets its results from more than just bing as well as doing some curation on top.

I always laugh at German memes. I have absolutely no idea what they are. When I see them i imagine a German person crafting a meme which is just a statement of fact and laughing to themself.

thats steamOS not arch

There is some laptop hardware that isnt well supported, it is annoying but it is what it is people are writing drivers for a lot of stuff but it doesnt compare to having manufacturers actually support their hardware.

As for convoluted menu and installing apps via terminal thats user error. Linux is for those that are willing to learn and if people cant use an app store and get frustrated when they see a different menu they’re beyond reach.

I’m not changing my PFP to a Microsoft product in hopes Microsoft stops fucking people. Slackativism is cringe.

I just move away to freedom respecting tech and talk about it with the people around me.

After 4 years on linux I have no idea how to exit vim and just spam control zx until vim is killed.

In my first day of using linux I was trying to mount my 2nd hard drive and I mounted it to / which lead to me having to reinstall because i didnt know what i did or how to fix it and my computer was no longer turning on.

Do you guys just have flawless experiences or what?

When I was new to linux I had many issues but the longer I used it the less problems I had. I think its a combination of new users not understanding the different parts of linux and not understanding the linux way of doing things. That leads to a lot of tweaking which can cause more issues than it solves.

Now that i’ve been on linux for 4 years everything works as expected and this is after changing distros a few times. my systems are pretty much untouched in terms of root folder tweaks or anything. I would say to keep trying linux since its not ‘boat life’ constant maintenance over the long term.

Omg systemd requiring linux to have tpm2.0, 16gb of ram and a signed kernel from the queen. The init wars are over and now we are ruled by chairman Lenart Pottering…

This was such an cool rice. From 0 experience to building that in such a short time is very impressive.

I’m worried that I’ll get used to the quality of.life improvements and then I’ll make a dumb mistake using bash at work.

Does anyone actually have any evidence that the benchmarks are wrong? If raytracying is enabled I can definitely see there being that much of a pref gap.

Thats what you think you want but by the time you’re at the end of the pipeline you just want a computer that works.

Probably aquire as much money as I could because money = power. I’d hide it from my parents because i know they would take it(they needed it more than 8yr me)

With all the knowledge i have now i cant go back to being a kid. I’d have to try my best to make use of the unique position and influence the future as best I can.

I’d probably spend my money trying to run political advertising to prevent the conservatives from getting into power. Using knowledge of the new mediums and how grass roots the internet is.

Normal distro -> arch -> gentoo -> nixOS -> QubesOS -> Debian pipeline.

Some are outside the 50 year mark by a decade or two but it shows in the last 50 years theyve pretty much attacked every single country around them.
