Never ending #nerdsnipe !
I chase friends and family down (I have non to semi technical 5 people who use Linux for years now).
Unfortunately… They don’t have to dive into the rabbit hole .I do… to make their flows seamless.
They’ve been stable for a long time though.
Nah, I think if you used a distro like mint on most hardware your experience is completely reasonable.
I started playing around with Nixos (seasoned Linux user)… That’s a real hole though. Not hard. Just different. And weird. Very cool, but still quite a bit rough around the edges.
Edit: removed my own Linux background after realizing I didn’t know how to use the app, and responses were to top comment.
Ubuntu is a great suggestion for beginners- that’s what I install for friends and family as of now (I’m considering alternatives). I’m thinking about getting new folks on opensuse tumbleweed, but let’s see.
Complete agree: always mainstream distribution for new users - Fedora, opensuse tumbleweed, Ubuntu are all great choices.
Neovim plugin+vscodium/vscode are great
Layers upon layers of vimception!
I’d say Nixos is the real hole 😄
Edit: I realized everyone was responding to top comment, removed long winded rambling about my personal Linux journey.
I 100% second note taking - my personal favorite is ObsidianMD.
I used Joplin for many months, with WebDAV (koofr)/e2e setup for sync, till I discovered ObsidianMD.
Now: all my notes are in markdown/plantuml/mermaid/Obsidian canvas/drawio, managed primarily by ObsidianMD, but occasionally on vscode for special use cases (plantuml diagram editing… vscode flow is better). I use obsidian git to sync to my git repo across my machines. Still love Joplin in a pinch (mobile app on occasion) though.
Livin’ the dream dog, just livin’ the dream. What’s up with yourself?
I look at the notifications bell for replies if that works for you
