  • Hey Congratulations! I just started my linux journey a couple years ago too, just the same way you did without any duelbooting! I’ll share one thing I found out recently: apparently neofetch was abandoned by it’s developer, and now is no longer maintained. instead, a lot of people suggest using fastfetch! it works the same except its faster and still maintained! otherwise I hope you continue to enjoy your linux journey, welcome to team penguin!




  • I use Nobara and I recoomend it to all my friends (the ones who like linux anyway).

    while its true that really no linux distro will have any significant better game performance than another, Nobara stands out to me because its made by GloriousEggroll (the same guy who makes the protonGE patches for steam) for his dad so that his dad can have a simple no-fuss gaming computer they can use to game together.

    the specific things I like about it are how it helps you get the correct graphics drivers and game/controller fixups at installation, and comes with steam preinstalled. I also like how the Nobara software updater also handles flatpaks as well as regular packages, its my one stop graphical (or CLI) shop for downloading or updating any new programs.

    I also like its themes and that its based on Fedora.





  • as with everything these days, there is unfortuntly a pretty big downside to github stars being so easy to buy: bad actors can now post malicious code and immidiatly buy thousands of stars making it look like thier code has been approved by thousands of people.

    since its a big task for many people to directly read the code of the Foss apps they install, github stars are how a lot of people judge a projects validity, so it’s still a bad thing to have fake stars
