  • Why is Debian always left out of the distro recommendations?

  • Thanks for the info, I was not entirely aware about the fact that they recently changes their proprietary software approach.

  • Thanks for the detailed reply - great points!

  • Mostly, this makes sense to me - but at the end you stated that people who want to settle down and have a reliable computer for non gaming stuff - and I would think that this would be a parallel userbase for non gamers coming from windows. Granted you did say "experienced" Linux users, but I honestly find Debian to be extremely noob friendly after the initial Linux familiarization of how installing apps and such works. And with LLMs these days, troubleshooting any issues is pretty easy, especially on .deb . Idk, maybe I've just become a fanboy or something, but I just feel that the distro gets overlooked as an overly stable/outdated option for servers when I've had an absolute great experience so far as a daily driver (of course, not playing games)

  • I guess it makes sense that I'm comfortable with using Debian then, lol, because I don't know what most of those things you mentioned are - haha.

    Thanks for the explanation though :)

  • Ok, so it seems that gaming is a recurring theme from the few comments so far.

    My curiosity then would lead me to wonder opinions from a non-gaming standpoint.

    Do you think you would mind as much if you didn't use your machine for gaming? Would the slightly older packages still affect you?

  • Ah, ok - yeah I can definitely see how for gaming it might not be ideal. I've never thought Linux was all that smooth of a transition for gamers though, no matter what OS you're using - but I guess that heavily depends on the games you're playing.

  • What would be considered "bare" about it? Granted, I'm not gaming on it or anything, but I've found it to work pretty well out of the box, just downloading software as I need - but nothing that has caused any sort of headache due to missing drivers or anything like that.

    To me it seems like it would be pretty simple for most people to switch over from windows - albiet maybe not for the super beginners that have never seen a command line - but for most semi-tech literate, I would think it would be a decent entry into Linux.

    Genuinely curious what is actually stripped down or missing, because maybe it's just something that I'm not even aware that I'm missing out on, lol

  • Meet Roomy: An Open-Source Discord Alternative for the Decentralized Web

  • Second discord alternative I've seen posted, there was also peersuite, which I think is a different niche, but similar.(https://github.com/openconstruct/Peersuite)

    Either way, I'm all for a discord alternative - we need something that is easily accessible for new onboarding users.
