Not gonna lie, it looks cool as hell. But if I get a handheld it'll be a Steamdeck. I might be more tempted if it was Linux based, though.

I personally can't stand those neon icon themes, but this looks like a lot of care and work went into it! It's always fun to see stuff that makes fellow Gnomies happy.

Then go get it! It's still running strong, so why not?

Aw, man, does ignore actually work for you? Because I see shit I've ignored on my store page all the damn time.

I would be interested in a list of Truth's advertisers, if you find one. I can always add more shit to my "do not buy" list. Saves me money.

Honestly, this is kind of a weird question. It's Google. They collect all of it. Every picture, every note, every keystroke. All of it.

The answer to "what information does GOOGLE SERVICE collect is always all of it.

Oh dear god it's hideous, at least on mobile. Yuck.

Many of the major distros with graphical installers would work. Fedora, Ubuntu, Endeavor, OpenSuse… it's really the Desktop Environment and the default set of apps that's going to make the difference for you, since that's what determines how you interact with the computer on a day to day basis.

A lot of folks feel more comfortable with an interface like their old OS and simple graphical tools. If that's what you're after, it's hard to beat Mint with its default Cinnamon desktop. It is very Windows-like in its workflow except just better. It's got great gui system tools, a good community, and it's super easy to install.

If that's what you're after - easy to install and just daily drive to browse the web and use google docs - then stop reading now. Mint is my recommendation. If you're wanting to dive in and learn more about Linux along the way, keep reading!

I don't agree with the "acts like my old desktop" philosophy, personally. I think it tends to make people expect the system to work like their old OS, and everything is different under the hood. It's like putting a car's dashboard and steering wheel into a tank. The vehicles are similar in a lot of ways, but they're fundamentally different.

So, as a constant reminder that you're using something fundamentally different from Windows, a Desktop Environment like Gnome or KDE is a better choice.

Gnome is very different from the Windows workflow. I'm told it takes people a bit to adjust to it, but I wouldn't know. For me, Gnome is the most intuitive DE I've ever used. I had the basics down in seconds. I recommend Fedora Workstation if you want to try it out. It's up to date, has a great set of default apps, and has a strong community. I use Fedora, and I'm very happy with it.

KDE can work like Windows, if that's what you're after... but it can also work nearly any way you want it to because it's so amazingly flexible that it'll knock your socks off. The number of settings and things you can tweak, rearrange, and modify to your liking can be a bit overwhelming, but it can also be fun. I've spent literal hours having fun tweaking my desktop (although I always end up with something that imitates the Gnome workflow lol). It does a great job showing you how adaptable Linux can be, and how it's all about your choices as a user. I love it, even if it's not my DE of choice. If that sounds like your kind of fun, then KDE Neon or Fedora's KDE spin ate worth a look.>

Yes.

Next question.

[–] s20@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Really? Huh.

Yeah, that kinda tracks. Thanks!

I can't effing believe it took me until now to get this. I knew you were doing the game, and I kept coming back and re-reading it over and over…

And finally. Today. It clicked. Holy crap I'm slow lol.

Alright, then I can be "I can afford experimental treatment to regrow my teeth-man!"
