That works for single drive systems or 2 drive systems, but starts to become a problem when you have 5+ drives with no raid, so important applications can be installed to the faster, higher priority drive, while less critical ones can be installed to a slower one.

It’s one of those big things that is hard to adjust to coming from Windows.

Windows just doesn’t use the terminal and would rather you launch it from the start menu.

I’m super excited for Bearman, i really hope he has a decent race. Some points would be amazing

Banking tech is still run on FORTRAN and COBAL. It’s ancient and pretty much can’t be upgraded. Until there’s a major push for new technologies across all banking it’ll keep being this bad

Even if it’s an NVIDIA problem, it’s still just a “Linux” problem for a non-experienced user

I’d still prefer it to the terminal. I get to choose installation locations and it’s easier to configure.

+1 to all these issues.

I tried a similar setup and eventually gave up after the monitor problems. Having 4 displays with different resolutions and refresh types just doesn’t seem to work at all.

I’m not a super casual user, but there’s no way in hell I’m going to try to dive into source to try to understand a bug in my OS. I’m just going to work around it and never think of it again.

Making users make a very major decision before they even install an OS is definitely not a good way to retain users, especially when there’s someone saying they’re wrong no matter what they pick

AUR was super confusing to me as a new user when I was running Manjaro for a few months. It still donent really make sense since it seems like it throws every advantage of a package manager out the window

[–] BURN 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Using the official site is a benefit, not a downside imo. Package managers aren’t any more convenient when you still have to spend a ton of time googling for the correct thing, then trying to find the correct commands to install it, then installing it the wrong way because your distro actually uses this other package manager.

Installers are better imo

We can agree to disagree. I don’t find any of the main Linux DEs good looking and think windows is way easier to use than any I’ve tried.

Less than they’d lose if their exclusive regional partners stopped paying for regional rights
