  Suggest Pop!_OS for the fearful.

  Mint, I think you mean Mint.

    I realize Linux distros inspire arguments on the level of which rule set is the best rule set for D&D. As such, everyone is right, and no one can really prove anyone else wrong no matter how long they choose to argue. Unless we’re discussing the awfulness of 4.0 of course.

      Indeed. I think the inevitable discussion about best distro, which always comes up in this context, is more hurtful than constructive, since it may end up confusing and scaring away potential Windows-defectors.

      The point is to get them to try out linux and get a taste for it, and only when they have become comfortable with the concept and realised it is not so scary of a change that some people claim, should they begin to consider which distro is right for them.

      I haven’t seen anyone argue on the ruleset of DnD, so I’m disregarding that, but I agree with your point. Remember: Switcning distros is easy.

  Don’t most Linux distributions not enable full disk encryption by default? How would that have improved the situation in this case?

    While it’s rarely by default (I actually don’t know any that do by default but), it is usually a simple checkbox during the installation. And a provided password, of course.

    It's worse than that, lots of these linuxes actually have this builtin virus called wine, which means they are really just windows in disguise.

    It also makes them look like a hacker to the FBI, that's why TYOTLD has never come. Most linusers are getting dissapeared to guano bay.

    Far safer to stay on windows, linus is only suitable for real hackers who can grep their way into cia mainframe to expunge their records.

  Arch for the chads (and authors of future ‘Help my Linux Broke’ OPs)

    Wait. You’re saying there’s a distro easier out of the box than Pop! ??

      Personally I cannot say, but I’ve seen Mint recommended a lot and new Linux users sound happy with it.

      If this were Linuxmemes I’d say that LFS is the only real Linux distro everything else is just conformity and giving in to THE MAN

  Had Pop!_OS. Had multiple issues with sound and a work VDI.

  Went back to Mint. No issues at all. Same everything (hardware / headset / etc).

    We have Mint in the house too. Pop! Has given no audio issues. Bluetooth audio worked out of the box.

    • W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Not Bluetooth audio, regular audio with a VDI.
