Oh I know exactly the ads your talking about, the setting for that is misleading option that is super easy to miss during setup, Microsoft has been doing that since Windows 10 released and its quite frustrating.
Yes the terminal can be daunting for a beginner, in my first experience with linux was all the way back when Ubuntu was the most popular distro and the only way I got through some of the confusing stuff was from copying and pasting commands from a youtube guide.
Yeah I'm slowly learning most of the terminology and commands, it can be a bit overwhelming at times.
I had the most success with Manjaro but for some reason chunks of it randomly break over time as updates go on, some Arch enthusiast have mentioned to me its because of some weird shenanigans done by the folks who maintain Manjaro's software distribution, something about updates being held back for "stability" but in the end they end up doing the opposite.
Right now I'm running a Fedora dual boot config with Win11 but keeping the bootloader on a separate drive so Windows doesn't touch it at all.
Good thing I've been learning to use linux for the past couple of years, if they double down on this I'll switch permanently, just got to find a distro I like because I haven't been able to find anything that just "works" without eventually having to open the terminal for one reason or another.
No. It’s a Kickstarter that might ship next year. The headline should have been “Bike tires made from NASA’s bizarre shape-shifting metal might be available to buy next year if the crowdfunding campaign isn’t a scam”
The second I see the words "kickstarter or indiegogo" I already know whatever I saw may as well be unobtanium
If it makes its way to a storefront then I'll consider it, otherwise I'll just move on and keep my money
This is amazing, its like Takeshi's Castle but skateboarding!
