like slashdot, digg, and reddit, lemmy is a link aggregator. the community is not the point, it is an emergent feature.
Not sure I agree with this bit. I’m absolutely on board with everything before this…but if community wasn’t the point, why have comments, profiles, direct messaging? Pretty sure community is the point.

I’d say Pop!OS or Garuda Gaming edition for traditional style, and Bazzite for “Atomic”(harder to accidentally Bork), are better ootb(out of the box) gaming distros. I.e. less downloading and tweaking to get games running, more things installed from first boot.

What type of device is it? If it’s a Surface device there’s a few distros that include the Surface Kernel add-ons, if none of the ones with it included suit you, you can compile the add-ons into the kernel for any Linux distro.
That’s what I hated about the Reddit Linux communities. Everyone, or nearly, was super hostile towards nubs. Ask a question anywhere, sometimes even in the “newbie” r/ s, and it’d just be an echo chamber of “don’t you know how to use Google?” Or similar stuff.
I’ve been dabbling with Linux for almost 2 decades at this point, and when I get stuck it’s because I’ve already exhausted my web search abilities.
The most frustrating is when you hit a super niche issue, and the only relevant result is a single forum post with the exact same issue, and the only reply is OP saying “nevermind, figured it out myself.”
And then to be told to fuck off and learn how to do a web search…
Only if you have no skill…git güd foo
One might argue that the most badass thing someone can do in a relationship is treating your partner with love and respect.
