New user: I have a problem 😊

Everyone:👍

  • are you on xorg or wayland?
  • pulseaudio or pipewire?
  • what WM/DE are you using?
  • amd or nvidia?
  • what distro?
  • systemd?

New user: Nevermind 😮‍💨

if a new user is using a distro that doesn’t use systemd they fell for a meme

Or they hate fridge art like systemd and are on something like PCLinuxOS or Alpine.

That’s what I mean though, why would a new user be running alpine as a desktop os?

That would be me: My hardware at the time was crap so I couldn’t use the usual mint, ubuntu, etc and I was gonna use debian but I couldn’t find the x86 download button, so after a bunch of messing about with distros like puppy and #!++, I settled on alpine for a bit. I now have decent hardware and use fedora.
