Truth be told, most folks aren’t interested in having a conversation with strangers on the internet – but “use” em as a scapegoat for their personal/irl issues. With that said, the logic behind “downvote-happy” users is simply, “Have this downvote because I’m feeling like shiz and I must downvote you so I can feel a false sense of superiority/intelligence over you and feel less like shiz.”.

For the same reason you typed this post.

A trickster that wants to make a fool of everyone out of pleasures and illusions of grandeur? Definitely Ubuntu. Promises a “easy to use” distro while installing unsolicited packages and fetching unauthorized info without your consent on the background.

I don’t make up stuff, but rely on facts and logic instead. :^)

“Typical” implies “standard”, so a low to mid end rig. Which also means (presumably) a "standard’ use case i.e what any “typical” user does – search for something on the internet, see funny videos and post on online communities such as facebook or similars. And before you say “define a typical user” – a user that has a very basic understanding on how to interact with a computer and use it properly. So… even “your mom” fits this criteria.

Can’t go wrong with lynx.

Honestly, I’d rather record command and flags instead of relying on aliases to do that for me.

Unless if its something very “niche” (like automatically pulling the required third party software everytime the distro boots up on .bash_profile).

rtorrent for me.

Here is me (still) hoping for arm64 to become mainstream just like x86_64.

t. I’m typing this on my orange pi 5 max. And the gap between this pc and a “typical” x86_64 one is almost nonexistant.

I don’t think you’ll need to do that, unless you are planning to download files that are over 4Gb long and/or you are using a potato that has less than 1 Gb of ram.

t. I’ve set my entire ram into a ramdisk, and the performance actually IMPROVED compared to not setting a ramdisk at all.

This is why I’ve set up a ramdisk on ~/.cache and ~/Downloads – “free” automatic cleanup plus a tad more of performance because why not.

For those interested, I’ve improved the code and introduced bottomless pits into the game, followed by increasing the spawn rate of enemies.

Just commit some time into learning on how to enable/install (proper) nvidia support on arch (even if you don’t understand nothing at all and/or feel very uncomfortable doing so) and it’ll be a smooth ride after that.

tl;dr:

Because you (still) have a lot to learn.

Ow.

Indeed. A cellphone with google search opened in a browser is all you need.

I will be “that guy” and suggest you to watch a few linux-related videos before choosing. i.e go to youtube and search for “what is the best linux distro for beginners”, “how to install on (distro name goes here)”, “how to configure (audio, video, etc) on (distro name goes here)”, etc. Write em down, install the distro you wanna check, get used to those methods until they are stuck on your forehead. If you lose interest, go back to 1- and choose another distro.

Dietpi. Because I’m forced to.

Eyy! Glad to hear I’m not the only weirdo in this sub!
