    Not mad, the comment was not adding anything of value in my opinion because it was not clear what it meant. So the down vote is for “this comment is not useful and perhaps lazy”. I also upvote things which I do not agree with but they are proposed in a civil manner, and when I’m proven wrong I say " thanks for letting me know this". So… This is not personal.

    And I never claimed that anything (post, comment or whatever) needed words to have meaning. Not sure what your point is though…

    This is about some people no being able to comprehend anything from the posts beside from symbols. This could be in the most obscure of languages and any person with a brain that knows memes can understand the basic idea. I’m just saying the verbal part in the post is not comprehensible to all people, which happens to break the rule 5.

    I do not care what language it is on, Spanish is my native language, I just want everyone to able to read and understand.












  • My Office Suite is LibreOffice and as far as I’m aware that’s Linux compatible

    It is very much compatible, haha. And usually comes pre-installed as the desktop office suite in many distros like Ubuntu and Debian that ship the Gnome desktop environment pre-installed.

    but would my ISP be impacted by Linux then?

    It should not be impacted at all. :)

    The simple aspect of my printer being compatible didn’t come to mind at first

    If you install any popular beginner friendly distro (like the ones I recommended) everything should work out of the box and it is very unlikely that any extra drivers need to be installed. For example on Archlinux no printing programs/services and drivers come pre-installed or enabled.

    So do not worry at all, if your laptop cover the main requirements, the distro should handle the rest automagically. If you have any more questions you can talk to me directly here on Lemmy, or we can figure something out.

    One thing though, Mint is based on Ubuntu which itself is based on Debian. But it doesn’t really matter.

    Since you are going to check what software you need/want for your new Linux device, you can always fill the gaps with Flatpaks on Flathub, these are meant to be universal packages for every Linux distro and usually you can find there the packages that your distro does not package natively. You can even find proprietary software like Discord and such.

    And again, if you have any more questions be sure reply or send me a message directly her eon Lemmy.
