So they can push and pull at the same time, silly!

I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

Hey Pacman. What’s up?

Agreed. Bloody fantastic for general purpose. Seems like a well kept secret. A lot of people assume Bazzite is just Steam in Big-Screen mode.

To be honest you are in the right place already. If you take the first step and install Mint, Fedora Kinoite or something similar on the laptop, there are many people here who would be willing to offer you support for free here on Lemmy.

You won’t find a lot of support IRW/IRL though as many companies are still sleep-walking in the Windows world.

You will however need to take some steps for yourself. If you’re willing to get over that first hurdle, you will almost certainly find someone here to help you with any problem you have (including installation).

So, I’m an all-around Bazzite fan, but it does have a bit of an odd learning curve. It’s easy to use for a beginner, child, or grandma. However, if you’re used to fiddling with your system, it might be a little harder to get into because you have to navigate the immutable nature of the OS, which can complicate some online tutorials and potentially lead to frustration for an intermediate/experienced user migrating from Windows.

So my suggestion would be:

Child - Bazzite

Grandma - Bazzite

Gamer - Bazzite

Experienced Windows user - Fedora or Mint, then once you’re used to Linux, Bazzite

Developer - Bazzite

I personally use the Gnome version. It’s really polished and pretty.

En garde!

Not specifically a joke, but more intended to make thought processes skip a little and to amuse:

My friend: “Didn’t they teach you grammar at school?”

Me: “no, she didn’t go there.”

…and, if anyone ever tells me to check my pronunciation, I snap back quickly and say it should be pronOUNCEiation, while acting as serious as possible.

In around 20 years I have gotten about 30 blank stares and one giggle, once. It was completely worth it.

Completely agree with every one of those points. JSON has killed everything, with good reason.

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or just completely uninformed. Which is it?

Have you tried not coming home from school?

Haven’t personally the need to connect tv boxes remotely- all of my mobile devices are handheld, so cell phone, laptop, steamdeck etc, all of which have pretty seamless wireguard clients, but I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t work with the correct Wireguard client installed on a tv box. The only issue might be really old android versions.

I can recommend a local Wireguard server for this. I have one port on my router open for Wireguard and all of my devices can connect to it remotely.

Once connected, they can see all the devices on my local network, including my local jellyfin server. It works pretty painlessly and you don’t need to open any jellyfin ports to the world.

This is links, running on the Terminal on my phone.

Curl is very low level. It will let you download things but won’t display it to you in any really useful way. It is intended to be used by other applications.

If you’re looking to use it to browse websites using the terminal, you need something that uses curl in the background but displays anything you download to you in a sensible way. Two such applications are lynx and links2. These will run in your terminal.

However you may not have much fun browsing facebook or anything modern. A lot of websites require javascript, which lynx or links2 will have trouble understanding.

The main issues are tight-coupling and technical debt. Here are two articles that explain the issues and which also offer possible solutions.

If you use Bootstrap or Tailwind to make your CSS during web development, you have a fundamental ignorance and misunderstanding of your craft.

Treat the cause, not the symptom.
