tried fedora, liked the install process. still crashes when it tries to load the desktop. livecd works fine of course

how come more people dont run ubuntu's LTS releases? sure the graphics/sound/networking might install broken, but there are more likely to be easier solutions already posted, vs people working with the latest releases switching default behaviors all the time?

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

some dude sent me this screenshot to ask me what's that image viewer thing on the terminal and I was like "idk and why would you want to look at pictures in a terminal when you have a gui"

your terminal doesn't automatically support inline images? (tw: lisp)

there's a very high percentage of unix here, just not linux

nice non-free compiler based software only graphics driver you got there, you enemy of freedom. might as well have installed windows.

support llvm, use a mac

it'll piss off stallman in several ways, it's a moral imperative

problems w/ this:

a) virtualization
b) icons on ur desktop smdh
c) don't ever add any extensions to gnome wtf is wrong with you

i've been running gnome3 natively since last october and i've never had this redraw problem tbh its probably a VM acceleration thing causing the bg not to redraw

i dunno what those things are but you are on the debian testing branch so who knows but once i spent some real time with it (not just experimenting with VMs) i couldn't stand to go back to windows. the gnome overview is great, the workspaces are integrated so well that you can't help but use them. and even stuff outside of gnome, like how disrespectful installers are and how programs have their own update clients that just run in the background all the time lol
