Tbh I haven’t had that issue in a while om KDE, tho TBF I don’t stream often. Screensharing on discord, meets, etc works perfectly fine tho, and I did manage to stream something with OBS.

Mint is best but if that don’t work try Fedora KDE.

I also recommend watching The Linux Experiment’s videos

Cutscenes that can’t be paused, especially if they’re longer than 10 seconds.

Do you have the slightest idea how frustrating it is to be mid-cutscene, something else requires my attention, and I cannot fucking pause it? Singlehandedly my biggest gripe with gaming.

A guy kept arguing Linux sucked because no games work on it and especially not Black Desert Online. Here’s the kicker: this argument took place in the BDO chat, while I and another poor soul were playing (and chatting) from Linux. I even made a tutorial on YouTube on how to play the game on Linux, he still didn’t believe I was playing on Linux because “it’s simply impossible”.

I’m sorry to hear about your child’s condition. Hope they can find a cure for it soon, wish you all the best.

Sir this is the nerd zone, and here you are complaining that there’s nerds in the nerd zone talking about nerd things.

I convinced many of average Joes and Marys to switch without issue, never have I had to bother tell them what a wayland or X11 is, I just put Linux Mint on their laptops, give them a few practical tips (stuff like “use the app store instead of scouring websites for your software”), things just work and they happily go do whatever they do with their PC.

Which distro?

Whichever one you prefer.

I don’t have the Windows issues you all tell me I have

Cool, /c/windows is over here you might probably enjoy it more than this place.

Yeah just erase files

Just FYI, or rather FTI, the arch wiki can still be a useful tool for non-arch distro. Debian also has a wiki.

They need to understand there are differences between arch and Mint, of course, and also some between Debian and Mint to an extent, but those tools can still provide helpful info.

Fedora, specifically the DE you are using.

I normally go with Mint as a recommendation but generally speaking you must understand these people will ask you for help for any small issue, so it will be a lot easier if you use the system yourself.

Now, I use Arch^BTW with KDE, and I would never recommend arch to a new user (KDE is a good choice tho), meaning I normally recommend Mint (from experience I know noobs love it), so I am in this awkward situation where I have to provide tech support to mint users usually (tho TBF so far only 1 person and the real issue is that his laptop is dying but he hasn’t come to terms with it) and it is sometimes annoying because I don’t know the settings layout and all that stupid GUI shit (I love using the CLI a lot if you couldn’t tell)

Make her install Gentoo in her own and make sure to berate her at every step /s

Personally I would go with something that has KDE so she gets fancy animations and stuff, but Mint is a perfectly valid choice too (cinnamon also has some cool stuff to toy around with but not as much imo). Just make sure to show her how to install stuff, and put adblockers and shit in the browser. Also highly recommend installing some of the linux games.

Tech worker and enthusiast vs slopper
