Those are decisions about things everyone already understands, choosing a distro for a new user is like deciding what your favourite photo is from a blurry, black and white album

This is more just that it's customisable, doesn't look like anything except a terminal until you put a desktop environment on it
(more or less all the options look better than windows but I think the reason for that is they're options and people tend to choose the one they like the look of)
My experience is generally it doesn't just work straight away unless it's something I've hammered out myself
I am also using one of the more DIY distros and window managers though, so I wouldn't expect it to without some attention from me to get it hammered out first
That said, once it's hammered out it continues to work exactly the way I want it to, it doesn't spy on me, it doesn't shove ads down my throat every 5 minutes
Would be an interesting experiment to see how non techy windows/mac users would get on if you just put stock mint/pantheon on their systems but I get the feeling it would not be as smooth as if they just had the thing everyone knows all the flaws of already
My old projects still have camelCase sprinkled around, you can tell which bits are new and old depending on whether it's camel or kebab
Have been defaulting to kebab case for variable and function names in all languages recently because of cargo yelling at me
Pascal case for class names cause c#, snake case for python files because it doesn't like kebab
Screaming case for env files because that's what everybody else does
It is kinda surprising how much obvious propaganda makes it onto Lemmy, for example those memes that aren't really memes as much as "haha this opinion wrong"
That's pretty much how the internet already works my guy
Pi 5 can run windows?
I'm running an all the mods 6 Minecraft server on my pi 5 with zero lag
No idea how video performance is but it's got a dedicated GPU so supposedly better.
Booting from an NVME, official heat sink/fan and proper power supply
Made the mistake of using react for a mobile app and my god why is it this convoluted, why are the error messages always along the lines of "something went wrong with networking 🤷"
Unfortunately I'm stuck with it now
I had thought spice was supposed to be really good for VMs, it's it just over hyped?
Problem is buying a car most of the different brands are quite different, there are so many distros that are just Ubuntu underneath that are basically identical with a different desktop
