Regular Fedora of course. I would only consider Immutable for someone super untech savvy like a little kid who might want to put My Computer in the trash bin or a grandparent that calls a computer a TV.
Windows 11 is on my poop list after what I went through with it.
He uses a Meta Quest 3 which luckily my gaming Linux YouTuber is working on a video about that exact same headset and apparently support for it on Linux is good.
Yay ^_^ Learned something, I didn't know those login pages were called "captive portals". This made things easier to google. I'm still not entirely sure what the problem was, but I am now pretty confident it is an issue on THEIR network configuration side: the portal would "try" to load (it wasn't like my browser could not access it), but I as getting blocked from the authentication server. Randomly caught behind miss configured firewall? idk...
mac address not the problem, I had connected before (even native installation), no issues. No need to clone a mac address if it already worked before? Also, I don't see how just booting a live usb would fix that: it doesn't change any hardware identification, as far as I know?
Oh yeah, in that case I don't blame you at all. The amount of loops you had to go through to get the system in working order is insane. Yeah, hopefully you find something to stick with that is a WAY better alternative to Windows. As I've said, yeah setting up VMs are good in testing what distros you'd like without going through the whole setup stuff again after, but nevermind. Not sure what to say in this situation besides good luck. :D
Linux Mint is behind in terms of patches and applications. People like it for being stable even if outdated. But I can't guarantee that switching to a distro that keeps up to date with patches and applications will fix what issues you're having since I'm not really sure what those issues are :p But if you want to try a distro that is "bleeding edge" in terms of updates/applications and easier for someone new I would suggest Fedora. If you have a use case that is more tailored to say gaming, content creation, coding, or something along those lines then we could throw out more specific recommendations of OS that come with pre installed patches/applications for that.
They each have their pros and cons. You'll see people with their diehard favorites, and I think a large part of it is people who are passionate about the distro that worked for them. I used Ubuntu for a number of years, grew more and more frustrated with it, but really clicked with Arch.
I'm sure none of those users laptops don't have uefi locks
Lest we forget
The biggest issue is that it doesn't let me used my headphones. Both wireless (with a USB adapter) and wired (headphone jack and USB-C adapter) don't work at all, and the instructions on how to even attempt to fix it seem to assume I have knowledge on what I'm doing.
With hardware/accessories Mint can be up to 2 years behind on drivers so a rolling release like Fedora/Arch might have the drivers you need already in the kernel for your headset. Though there are accessories that still won't have drivers in the kernel and might be fixable through user tinkering.
Possibly Fedora Cinnamon if you want to keep the same look and feel of Mint with more up to date drivers. Though the option does come up for Nobara that is a fork of Fedora that does come with extra patches/codecs for running OBS Studio just doesn't have a Cinnamon desktop option but the Official and KDE versions use KDE Plasma which is a similar desktop environment to Windows 10 and has HDR support.
Not working even via a headphone jack is really wild. Does Mint use pipewire? I wonder if trying that would help the audio issues.
Honestly even os passwords are overprotective if you know what your doing, problem is people are idiots.
It does, yeah. Been really busy and so only just checked, which is the reason for the late reply.
There is some misinformation in that video, imo. Manjaro is not "known" for access to AUR... In fact, it warns you when you attempt to enable AUR support in pamac and previously that feature was not included at all. I never used AUR on manjaro, but I assume you would need to use the unstable (untested?) branch to avoid conflicts, but that defeats the purpose of the curation the manjaro team does for stability. You might as well use a different distro at that point...WSL ist jetzt Open Source
Das Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) wurde heute ganz offiziell als Open-Source deklariert. Das bedeutet, dass der Code jetzt für die Community auf GitHub zur Verfügung steht. Man kann also den Quellcode herunterladen und bearbeiten. Inzwischen hat WSL schon einige…www.deskmodder.dePost automatically merged:
Yeah! Get it straight! The Manjaro devs are only known for DDOSing the AUR repo! Twice... I didn't watch the video but I saw the opportunity to add a Manjaro highlight :p
lol, that's true. Makes the AUR claim even more funny
You made a good decision. Not to be a hater, but there is nothing of substance in the video, imo...
