Why the pain of Arch? You probably fell in love with the rolling release, wiki, and the AUR.
If their computer can handle running a windows vm on virtualbox, I’d recommend that over dual boot. Windows update will almost certainly cause issues on boot…eventually.
Jump into Linux with both feet. Use the vm as a crutch or a bridge to windows only software.
Follow the advice below… backup everything. If you have a 2nd hd, this makes it easier to keep files and is separated.
If you’re prepared to reinstall, it’s easy to nuke it and try again. It’s part of learning and sometimes easier to troubleshoot.
Bard on my experience, Mint is probably the best gateway distro into Linux from windows. Debian and Ubuntu forums are relevant and useful. My wife and I are both IT professionals, and mint was just “natural”. She couldn’t care less what os, de, or wm is in use as long as it gets it done. She’s got mint on one laptop and Debian with gnome on another.
Once they decide they want something different they can find what meets those needs nice they have their bearings and a “need”.
Ubuntu never really hit home for me for some reason.
I wanted to move off mint, because I wanted the gnome DE. Yes, I did successfully slam gnome on top of mint, more as a can I do it vs should I do it exercise. Then I wanted something further upstream and went to Debian.
Then, I started tinkering with Endeavouros. This has allowed me to learn more about how things really work and WHY they work the way they do. Documentation on arch to me is second to none. Until I had daily driver Linux experience and spent some time tinkering, this was just overwhelming.
Per the article, the family farmers got a 1.25c per dozen increase 6 years ago.
I for one welcome our new overlords. May you be fair and just; never making infamy in yepowertrippin’ bastards!
Thank you for your contributions!
Seems the expectation is the corporation holds all the power. This customer was “fired” for views not in alignment with the company. There would also be no regard for damages to the customer as in their perspective the customers’ data has no value unless it’s something to harvested and sold.
So, by extension, I could take money from the government (or really anyone) because it’s not property? If money is not property and not “owned” by someone wouldn’t that drive the population to abandon the “fiction” of a fiat currency?
Maybe, it doesn’t matter the outcome, the objective is to stall and stifle the defendant’s resources.
Thanks, I’ll dig into that one sometime!
In my experience, not much, but I’m a marginally functional newbie. Mint manages things for you fairly nicely and has been the best, it just works with out messing with much/anything. (At least for my hardware)
I managed to get gnome working smoothly on mint and have been happy with it. I started and returned here since I last ditched windows as a native OS.
The only thing that has made me consider distro hopping from mint is AUR on arch and gnome, though I’ve been successful so far.
Part of trying the distros that are more advanced and give you more explicit control and configuration is the sense of accomplishment and it makes you figure out how and why things work the way they do. It holistically builds your velocity in your understanding of Linux. (Or gnu whatever that nuance is).
If your machine has enough resources it is super easy to host VMs of anything you want to try. You can try them all, and it won’t cost you anything but time!
There’s also the xbrowsersync extension if you just want to save and sync bookmarks.
I may be a lost lemming though based on the community…
Glad you found one that worked for you.
As far as I’m aware, Logseq also just uses .md files. I back those up regularly and I do use the cloud sync. The cloud sync lets me alternate use between my computer and my tablet for work. I could use just one device, but this was a significant advantage for me.
I also keep a separate log for personal work which I can add to via special shortcuts from my phone.
