Yes I have to revisit this. I may have some bad preconceptions about immutable distros.

“HEY GUYS! DID YOU HEAR THAT EPIC FART I MADE? NEARLY SHAT MY PANTS!”

* everyone laughs and forgets about it*

Chu vraiment divisé sur ce sujet.

Il y a trop d’entreprises qui ont profité de ce programme. Le manque de main d’oeuvre est lié au fait que les salaires ne conviennent plus. C’est impossible de survivre sur un salaire minimum. Et pendant ce temps on voit des entreprises déclarer des centaines de millions et des milliards en profits et des dirigeants se donner de gros bibis la bonus très gras. À quelque part cet argent devrait descendre aux travailleurs. C’est du salaire volé. Sans ces travailleurs, ces entreprises ne fonctionnaient pas.

Monsieur “Zionism isn’t a bad word” et “Israel has a right to defend itself” et qui leur envoie des véhicules blindés en pensant qu’ils seront utilisées à bon escient.

Les paroles de Trudeau sont vides, comme toujours. Tant que je ne verrai pas d’actions concrètes de sa part ou de son parti, tout ce qu’il dit ne pourra pas être pris au sérieux.

Ça fait longtemps qu’il aurait dû y avoir des sanctions contre Israël et des mandats d’arrestation contre les dirigeants militaires et politiques responsable de ce génocide.

Tu peux pas emménager dans un quartier cool où la vie culturelle est vivante et te plaindre du bruit.

Allez vivre en banlieue du vous voulez la paix.

That’s exactly what I had in mind.

All the best people in one place.

I never heard of Tails. What is it?

EDIT: Wait found their website.

Absolutely.

• It’s desktop environment is very light on resource usage and very easy to use. It’s great for new Linux users.
• It’s package repository includes Ubuntu’s which is rich with great up to date and stable and secure packages. Plus Mint adds it’s own to allow the user to avoid using Snap packages. (You can ask if you’re not sure what that is. I don’t know your level of experience in Linux.)
• Because it’s based on Ubuntu you also have the little added features that allow you to install 3rd party audio/video codecs to play proprietary formats and to install and manage proprietary graphics drivers as well. (Nvidia for example).
• There’s great hardware support for PC hardware and gaming devices.
• There’s a huge community and lots of documentation for Ubuntu and Mint.

It’s a great no hassle OS for both gaming and productivity.

They really do sound like some dark new world order type of organization.

For your desktop apps that need 3D acceleration, I’ve been using Bottles. It’s such a great tool for Wine.

I’ve configured Wine environments for 3D accelerated apps and even some pirated games just to see if they worked

You can select what Wine you want, Proton, Soda, etc. Set environment variables, override DLLs and much more.

Je te recommande de publier ça dans la communauté de Canada Français également si tu veux. :)

OH BOY! 😃

Ah? Oh yeah! Hey thanks for the clarification.

You know what? I’m taking back what I said. Debian might just be what I’m looking for after all.

Uses .deb packages with APT, which I am very comfortable with. And thanks to Ubuntu using the same package system, I can easily add any PPMs or other repos that Ubuntu uses.

Its stable releases are the most stable out there and with a 2 year release cycle on average, that’s pretty similar to Ubuntu’s and is totally acceptable.

People complaining that the packages are older, that’s really not a problem for me. I’m patient. I can wait. Worst case I’ll use a flatpak for a desktop app or compile from source. I’ve done it before. It’s not that hard. And for my purposes, that doesn’t happen very often. Or there’s the option of using backports as well.

Hardware support is solid. All the drivers I need are provided as .deb packages or through 3rd party repos provided by the manufacturer. (NVidia) And media codecs are available now so that’s not an issue either.

Debian is the next best thing to Ubuntu IMO. A pretty solid choice I think.

I revisited it yesterday and this is definitely a distro I would recommend to my relatives and anyone non-technical. It’s solid. The desktop is clean and has a lot of nice configs without going overboard. Its closest competitor would be Ubuntu Budgie, but it includes snaps.

Yeah definitely a great no-hassle distro. But, I really, really like my KDE and I don’t know if I’d be happy with Mint in the long run. Plus, like MATE, they’re playing catch-up with GTK based apps all the time as soon as a new GTK comes out. It’s a tough decision not gonna lie.

I’ll check it out! Thanks :)

Someone else mentioned it in this thread. But I don’t know if I want to install a fringe distro instead of something that’s established and stable with long term support from a solid community or company. But who knows.

Like on my system I compile dxvk and various wine nvidia libs myself since Ubuntu doesn’t package them.

Huh?? I’m using Kubuntu 24.04 right now and didn’t have to jump through these hoops. That’s weird.

but packaging things/compiling software that isn’t in the repositories is a huge pain.

I don’t know. I’m a developer that’s been using Ubuntu distros for 20 years and never ran into such issues.

Thank you for your feedback. I agree with you. In hindsight, Nobara doesn’t bring that big of an advantage. And I further discovered that it’s a one-man project. So that’s not so great for long term support and continuity.

I think I’ll have to make another post about my findings or write a guide or something. I’ve learned a lot, especially because of everyone in this thread. I really opened my eyes and broke down some preconceptions I had about certain distros.

Great reply! Thank you for the clarification.

What’s your opinion on Canonical’s behavior with snaps? Like having Mozilla software exclusively as snaps? Are people making too much of a big deal?
