Pretty sure it’s China, or it’s a very niche thing from homosexual communities. I’m Russian and never heard of this

From what I understand, it usually boils down to user having some modern hardware which has drivers only in recent kernel versions. Since Ubuntu lags behind in Kernel versions, it can be that appropriate drivers for your hardware are simply not there.

For instance Asus-linux community dedicated to using Linux on modern (usually gaming) Asus laptops has a huge Ubuntu warning and recommends Fedora or Arch based distros.

Lemmy Nvim plugin when? I want to browse hahas right next to my code

One thing I always talk about is how DE is much more important for new user than a distro. New users will only use GUI anyway so their choice of DE has to be the most comfortable.

Took me years personally to switch to Linux, trying stuff like Ubuntu or PopOS, and I couldn’t understand why it doesn’t “click” for me until I understood that I simply personally dislike Gnome (being an ex Windows user). Tried a KDE distro and it clicked immediately, never looked back. Now I don’t even use KDE but it helped me to get through initial frustration period.

I think it’s a matter of habit, really. After using a somewhat minimal Arch install with a WM instead of DE, I get frustrated when an app doesn’t have a CLI version, using GUI now feels less comfy almost

Russian here. This is a super old claim from our government and is a common source of jokes, it’s even called “Cheburnet” (from Cheburashka) colloquially, nobody really treats such claims seriously. Last time Russian government tried to influence internet was when they struggled to ban telegram for several years, and ended up giving up, endorsing it, and moving their official resources to it.

I know it’s probably a joke, but fun fact Soviet Union was the first country to ban lobotomy in 1950

Nah, it’s just a seated queue

Came here to say that. Arch may be daunting for a complete beginner, a preconfigured distro may be a better starting platform. For Arch the main ones people talk about are Endeavor / Garuda

(Disclaimer, I’ve not reviewed the code, don’t quote)

Files can be transferred via P2P connection without them being uploaded first to a third location. I assume though that some sort of server serves as a matchmaker allowing two computers find each other when the connection is established

All of these are strictly Ukrainian though. Following some Russian sources as well would make sense to get fuller picture.

(I’m not providing examples though as I don’t really follow either. Several months into the war I gave up trying to sort propaganda from something substantial)

Arch takes a lot of manual configuration to make it work, hence providing some bragging rights about using it. Manjaro is a fork that has your typical GUI user-frienly installer that does everything for you, therefore you “proudly using arch” has no substance as you did zero work.

If you ask me, I’d make upvotes/downvotes public overall. Always hated how on reddit some miserable people downvote lots of innocent stuff, hiding behind their anonymity.

Lemmy & Reddit are public discussion platforms, everything you do here should be public, it’s not like you use them to store private information.

Wasn’t it the case that whatever he had at home wasn’t supported by UNIX so he rewrote the kernel in order to be able to use it outside of university?
