The first two guides themes’ are:
“So you want to get into (pragmatic) Free Software extremism?”
“So you want to get into Linux?”
They will be posted when both are finished! Stay tuned!
If you have any suggestions please leave them here! Don’t DM me! Let the whole community take part!
I use Linux mint, I’ve also used regular ubuntu in the past but it seems quite frustrating to get normal stuff to work that windows does easily. is debian mildly easier to use?
Compared to Mint, Debian is harder to use, Mint is probably one of the easiest distros to use. What did you have an issue with?
getting any games/controllers to work, DAW’s like ableton or other audio editing software, even installing stuff correctly I still have no idea if I’m doing stuff right. I had to reinstall it a few times because I didn’t give the distro enough space and it got stuck in a os boot loop. i now just use it as basically a youtube/streaming computer connected to my dumb tv via hdmi. i guess i would consider myself intermediate when it comes to computer stuff and I find even getting the right info confusing and daunting as I’ve never talked anyone irl about it, completely self taught in this field.
If you’re loking for a DAW on linux i can recommend Ardour.
Unfortunately some hardware sellers (like canon, ugh) have no linux support. So now whenever I buy something new I research their support before I buy any products.
I was an intermediate user for a long time, but what helped me get more into it was following the archlinux installation guide. Really showed me how the system is build “under the hood”. Like what the difference between a compositor and a window manager is and stuff like that.
Next, if I find the time, I plan to go the gentoo/lfs route, wich is basically building the car from it’s parts.
Thanks for your tips, duly noted.
