minus-squarerickdg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down7·1 year agoI find people complaining about every distro. The thing is, every operating system sucks. The good thing about Linux is how that becomes your fault.

minus-squareBezier@suppo.filinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoIt can be your fault, but if the distro is supposed to be easy and you haven’t messed with its internals, it’s probably the distro’s fault. My #1 priority when choosing a distro was that it’s widely used and easy, because I don’t want to deal with that exact kind of shit.
minus-squarerickdg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year agoUltimately it’s all open source, you can make your own distro. If something doesn’t work, fork it and fix it yourself. That’s the beauty of Linux, with all that’s good and bad about it.
