i suspected a corrupted usb too, but i used a different usb stick every time and with fedora i redownloaded the iso file when i reinstalled,

i am quite familiar with kde since i used nobara kde for a good while as my first daily driver linux os, but the experience has always been a bit broken. i can make the taskbar f-ck itself up by looking at it wrong and a reboot usually fixes it.

some really weird stuff started happening today in kubuntu too, like whatsapp web consumes 10 - 20% of cpu nonstop on every browser. and every time the internet connection cuts off (when suspending or reconnecting vpn), a popup says kded5 wants to add a new wallet… and i swear, this wasn’t my doing 😅

rpm fusion guide was a tad confusing for me and my rtx 30 series wasn’t listed so i didn’t know what to install. i did find a good guide after some trial and error and a full reinstall.

i have used nobara in the past, and i quite liked it and would have kept it but it had (and still has) this weird issue when i suspend my pc and/or turn off the monitor (oled tv), it won’t get signal anymore until i reboot.

anyway for now i ended up going back to mint for the 6th time and everything works so maybe i just stick with it 😂

gave fedora a shot today (with kde) because i see it recommended a lot. i found it difficult to get a working guide for nvidia drivers, had to reinstall the first time because all i got was a black screen. had lots of difficulty mounting secondary hard drive, programs refusing to install and not launching or nowhere to be found after installing, and everything works ridiculously slow even though i have powerful hardware. after almost smashing my head through the monitor i gave up and installed kubuntu, which also seems to have little hickups like stuttering and lagging when downloading something. is it supposed to be this hard? mint is still the only properly working distro i have seen.

lol what?

i doubt the average user even understands what an operating system means and they’ll just go with thatever it came with

i have been lucky with all my computers and peripherals, everything worked out of the box. but there’s a weird issue in our household, none of the windows machines can connect or stay connected to our wifi but all phones and linux machines have no issues…

petrol has 10 times greater energy density, so it’s still far from being good

right clicking on anything takes closer to a second on our school machines… on 10th gen i7…

a group of cats is called a clowder.

correct me if I’m wrong, but the performance issues in the new AMD chips were microsofts fault and they work fine on linux.

i use banana cursor because bananas are healthy

i read that mint used to have a kde option too but they discontinued that to reduce workload. didn’t know multi monitor setups were a problem for cinnamon though. does it work at all or lacks controls or something? are xfce and mate equally bad?

im a mint user too and every few months i start distrohopping but always land back in mint. all other distros always have something that doesn’t work or is just irritating. but mint feels like home.

i currently use mint and only want to switch because cinnamon has this weird thing when you have a game running, window resizing is laggy. i often have btd6 running when I’m working so it bugs me. kde doesn’t suffer from that.

i have tried fedora and nobara a few times but they randomly make my hdd unmountable and it’s difficult to get it back. even after installing a different distro.

never heard of this one. definitely going to try it!

way too difficult to set up, i don’t have a lot of free time so i need an “out of the box” distro

does kubuntu have the same issues? kinda want to go for a debian or ubuntu based kde distro and kubuntu is always highly recommended.

finally some new visuals. mint cinnamon is always advertised as beautiful looking, but it’s absolutely not. i love cinnamon, but the default themes look depressing.
