watching the new Linus Tech Tips video on Linux and already he's nailed it on the head with distros and choice paralysis/pressure. IDK if that was my case exactly for distro-hopping, but I've been very happy with CachyOS atm.

(also I guess this is my live-watch thread, posts may be delayed since I'm posting on Bluesky too)

Honestly using an LLM is probably better than going for a listicle or consulting humans (Linux users are VERY opinionated) but you need to give it as much info as you can. What your specs are, what peripherals you have, what your use case is, you get the idea.

oh Elijah please don't choose Manjaro. Just use Cachy if you're gonna use Arch lol (or EndeavourOS)

edit: oh phew he's going Bazzite

"the linux community likes screaming all the time" Luke's right, lol. From my time on here and Mastodon and even at a cursory glance on r/Linux, that is 100% true.

Like christ, Reddit, shut the fuck up about age verification. I wanna see something interesting damn it.

immediately Linus ran into a problem trying to install Pop!_OS 💀

in fairness, he doesn't blame it on Pop!_OS, he blames it on the drive. Could be anything at this point. (have not finished the vid)

Bazzite has the newer installer from Fedora, based. Probably the cleanest installer I've seen.

"Microsoft Teams is annoying no matter what Linus distro"

isn't Teams just annoying in general?

Okay already Pop!_OS is probably gonna lose some people who want to just game from Linus dealing with crashes on L4D.
