What do you mean Keepass doesn’t work? https://keepassxc.org/ comes as Flatpak.

Bazaar lacks some basic functionality like update notifications and doesn’t integrate so well with KDE.

Nevermind, I was able to read the comments and the poster said “I WILL be open-sourcing the code ASAP, but I’m still working out exactly what that will look like, and I also have a few personal reasons for delaying.” So there’s not git yet for everybody else who is wondering.

I can’t watch the video, is there a link to a git somewhere?

Check both out over at https://distrosea.com/ to see which you like more. Also different DEs come with different standard apps like which text editor or terminal they use. If you do not have a preference there, it shouldn’t matter much. Also you can switch those out if one in particular isn’t to your liking.

Of course you can, why wouldn’t you? It’s Fedora Kinoite with added stuff for gaming. There is a special edition for devs in the making, in case you’re interested in keeping an eye on that: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/introducing-the-bazzite-developer-experience-alpha/7342/64

I doubt that would help, sadly. There is SO MUCH advice out there already, but people always think they are special and have a very rare and complicated use case.

Why not test Secureblue instead of Silverblue?

It’s not what OP asked for.

Forgive the not so serious remark: you can run Linux in Excel!

Sorry to hear you had trouble with the installation. Since we have such a vast variety of hardware, you will always find a person having trouble with a specific distro I believe. That’s why having so many to choose from is awesome - but also a bit daunting at the start. Glad it’s working now, hope it stays that way.

I remember you asking about what distro to pick, what a wonderful follow-up post. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Thanks for the explanation! I agree, this has been very helpful already. Now I go and do some reading on it.

Oh I see, thanks. I thought you could also edit images with Inkscape. I’m apparently not very well versed in these topics.

Curious why you would need Gimp and Inkscape? Wouldn’t one of them be enough? Is one of them better suited for certain tasks?

That’s not too hard a question for me, I’ve been using the same DE for years: KDE

LineageOS has instructions for Windows/Mac/Linux: https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide

I’d suggest OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and one of the UBlue images - maybe Bazzite, since you mentioned gaming. But Steam and GOG run on all of those.

first off, do you realize where we’re at? normies don’t frequent lemmy

No need to be passive aggressive, but if you think all people on lemmy are so tech savvy, then why post it here?

Maybe you can also find open source communities in your area. After some digging, I was surprised how many groups there are in my area and they are always happy to get additional hands to organize stuff or run errands etc.
