Did you download it using yum or dnf?

Didn’t forget about the potato. Lol

i too merely flirted with linux for years until my windows me started boot looping and then i was forced off that fence 25ish years ago and has been the biggest reason i’ve been able to stay employed since then.

the video is right about the reasons why people don’t want to switch and part of me wishes he used a sink or swim story like mine since the worst case scenario is trying to swim again later on when it comes to linux.

a quick place to start would be the systemd services that get automatically started when you boot your system. when i did this in the past, i would google each service that was running to determine if i needed it and remove the associated software if i decided that i didn’t.

(since you’re using debian): if it’s a fresh install, it would make more sense to start with a minimal install first like the netinstall image and then pick and chose what you want to put on top of it.

if your issue is that the distro is too bloated: there are other minimalist distro’s out there (some are based on debian) and they’ve already gone through the hassle of figuring out what the bare bones minimum is for fully functional distribution that can serve a viable daily driver.

did you download & try to install it or is it coming from your package manager?

That’s why they need to be ashamed about losing to donald trump over and over. Anyone who isn’t dick in the dirt upset they couldn’t beat the orange fascist should be driven from the party and into obscurity.

they’re not ashamed and they’re gearing up to do it again so it begs the question: how do you drive away the people who are responsible into obscurity when they’re the ones that are in charge?

i don’t have a mac anymore; but this exactly why i’m pursing this project: the last time i did this fedora atomic didn’t exist and i’m likely to encounter that it’s more rock solid than the fedora distros that i used to daily drive with before buying a linux laptop directly from the linux factory.

laptops can be hit or miss because of all the custom proprietary stuff in them.

my experience is the same and that’s why i’m going with a laptop; i wonder if the skills i’ve picked up since the last time i tried are going to help any since they’re the kind of skills that get you paid in the linux world.

i’ve learned that if you grease yourself up enough (VERY important that you’re greasy enough); you can just canon ball your way through. lol

Please buy laptops and desktops from tuxedo, system76, framework, etc, and recommend them. They’re doing a great job and do deserve the support.

amen. i’ll continue to buy from them for the things that i depend on (eg low cost personal servers and high end work laptops); but i plan to use a generic low-spec windows laptop for daily driving to teach me what the general linux user experience is like these days since lemmy is showing me that i still get something out of helping other people while i simultaneously get to leverage my knowledge and experience in an arena that’s been enabling my life for these last 3 decades to do so.

it’s bit like the mandates that i get from my management as an individual contributor; but more “WTF” and the “TIL’s” that i get from it makes it more fun for me.

i learned this the hard way when i tried text people in spanish that my father had a great time in the new years party and they were wondering what potatoes had to do with new anal sex experiences. lol

(“mi papa disfruta fiestas de ano nuevo” badly translates to “my potato enjoys new anal gangbangs” without the accents & other punctuation and translates to “my father enjoys news years parties” with the proper punctuation) lol

they lost all three branches of government but the dnc leadership continues to insist that they did the right thing just like they did back in 2016. the fact that they copy/pasted 2016 for 2024; cock blocked bernie in 2016 & 2020; and the new dnc party leaders likewise continue to insist that they did nothing wrong proves that the dnc is going to repeat 2016 & 2024 into either 2028 or 2032 and democrats are going to suppress constructive criticism once again as they march willfully ignorantly into yet another defeat that hurts everyone.

sticking with the democrats is like repeating history but on meth since they keep repeating their failures almost every decade and the people who keep doing it need to re-examine why they keep doing it when it get things like status-quo-joe biden as a best case scenario.

very much so in addition to creating a new project for myself that’s exciting; that’s a big deal to me because i can’t remember the last time in decades that i felt any excitement over any linux based project.

i learn best by challenging my knowledge and it teaches me where i’m ignorant and i can use that specify which areas to focus my self education.

i’m glad you brought that up; lemmy has taught me that people will use those linux company distros w/o the support and it blows my mind and makes me agree that they should be upstreaming it; i know that system76 does (eventually) and i wonder if tuxedo or anyone else does as well.

all platforms with investors behind it enshitify in the worse ways possible a la reddit, facebook, etc.

one of the awesome things about buying a linux laptop from a linux company like tuxedo is that you don’t have to worry about things like this since they have paid developers who maintain their own distro to “take care” of things like this and buying one of these linux laptops has made my experience smooth and thought free as a mac user.

it’s a double edge sword however: lemmy has taught me that smooth sailing with linux laptops keeps you unaware of the trouble that lurks beneath the surface and that’s disconnected me from the general linux user experience and has gated me from understanding the common themes and problems they encounter; i’ve started a new linux build and this time i’m going to do it the same way everyone here does, with a windows laptop.

you’re too late! i already know we’re that shitty. lol

yes and i’ve leveraged it along w the stereotype of the entitled american tourist (thanks to my very strong american accent) to get out of most of those episodes.

my anxiety about the future got a lot better once i started looking into how we got into this mess and the whole thing started by watching democracy now before watching pbs, or cbs, or abc, etc.
