no idea, i can’t get any other distros to work properly

jänniltä tilanteilta vältyin mutta tuolla lumipuhurissa kävellessä oli erittäin vaikea hengittää

you can run sw 2022 and 2023 in some distros. https://github.com/cryinkfly/SOLIDWORKS-for-Linux

doesn’t work in mint tho, i tried.

the other side. the toxic or boring one or whatever it is

hope it won’t break this time

very simple explanation. there is something under the floor that is expanding.

i have been using mint (cinnamon) too for like a year and a half. every now and then i try another distro and a few more, but i always land back where i started. it even looks pretty with the “sweet dark v40” gtk theme.

yeah, I’m the person 🙈

mint cinnamon because on my system it has no major issues and everything is easy to configure. i don’t have a lot of spare time so i can’t spend hours or even days troubleshooting why something won’t install or run. most other distros have been annoyingly buggy or too difficult to set up.

accurate. that’s me.

i suspected a corrupted usb too, but i used a different usb stick every time and with fedora i redownloaded the iso file when i reinstalled,

i am quite familiar with kde since i used nobara kde for a good while as my first daily driver linux os, but the experience has always been a bit broken. i can make the taskbar f-ck itself up by looking at it wrong and a reboot usually fixes it.

some really weird stuff started happening today in kubuntu too, like whatsapp web consumes 10 - 20% of cpu nonstop on every browser. and every time the internet connection cuts off (when suspending or reconnecting vpn), a popup says kded5 wants to add a new wallet… and i swear, this wasn’t my doing 😅

rpm fusion guide was a tad confusing for me and my rtx 30 series wasn’t listed so i didn’t know what to install. i did find a good guide after some trial and error and a full reinstall.

i have used nobara in the past, and i quite liked it and would have kept it but it had (and still has) this weird issue when i suspend my pc and/or turn off the monitor (oled tv), it won’t get signal anymore until i reboot.

anyway for now i ended up going back to mint for the 6th time and everything works so maybe i just stick with it 😂

gave fedora a shot today (with kde) because i see it recommended a lot. i found it difficult to get a working guide for nvidia drivers, had to reinstall the first time because all i got was a black screen. had lots of difficulty mounting secondary hard drive, programs refusing to install and not launching or nowhere to be found after installing, and everything works ridiculously slow even though i have powerful hardware. after almost smashing my head through the monitor i gave up and installed kubuntu, which also seems to have little hickups like stuttering and lagging when downloading something. is it supposed to be this hard? mint is still the only properly working distro i have seen.

time to learn how to swim

lol what?

apparently his repacks are for arch, fedora and debian unstable. no setup provided for ububtu based, so that’s a nope then.

snow is the only thing i like about my country, i hate that in 20 years we probably wont have that anymore

i doubt the average user even understands what an operating system means and they’ll just go with thatever it came with

i have been lucky with all my computers and peripherals, everything worked out of the box. but there’s a weird issue in our household, none of the windows machines can connect or stay connected to our wifi but all phones and linux machines have no issues…

i tried many different cyberpunk 2077 repacks from dodi and fitgirl and none would finish installation with wine
