Let’s hope they can pull it off soon, XFCE really surprised me with the speed at which they transition but it’s a huge project for any DE and we are slowly getting to a point where it’s actually neccecary!

As a Gnome user I approve of this comment, some more colors would be awesome, especially if they are standartized through xdg!
Oh and Smart Tube next, that’s what I use on my Android TV and it even has Sponsorblock!
That’s a great list, you could probably add yt-dlp for those who want to download and/or convert on their desktops (on Android Newpipe dose a great job for that) but in terms of noteworthy frontends and clients the list looks very comolete to me!
When I switched from Windows definitely Cinnamon but by now it’s Gnome, it’s a little odd at first but I absolutely love the workflow!
As a Gnome user, a expansion of that background apps think that properly replaces Appindicators!
Hmmm, I definitely have to look into that!
It’s still a little buggy and lacks many of the CSGO features, I just wish they didn’t disable CSGO that early, that worked great!
The terminal is fantastic once you roughly understand what the commands you execute do but that requires a bit of experience and it’s great to have GUI tools for certain things. Modern Linux usually covers everything a normal user should need with GUI tools but there are always edge cases where you have to do something more advanced and I feel like especially those are tough to do in a terminal for new users which is why I appreciate Mint so much! It’s been quite a few years since I switched so many things are different by now but I moved back to Windows two times myself from Kubuntu and Manjaro before I discovered Mint so I never get tired to recommend it. Good luck on your journey! ;)
It’s a fantastic distro to get started, I think the main advantage are various GUI tools for more advanced things that other distros usually require the Terminal for which can be a bit scarry at first. Elementary looks a lot more like MacOS and might be a little more familiar at first while Mint has a fairly similar layout to traditional Windows (7/10), keep in mind that nether of them is a copy tho and you will run into differences. I do think that Mint is the best beginner Distro because of those GUI tools but it can’t hurt to try both, almost all Linux distros have live boot to play with them from a USB stick first so you won’t have to actually install anything to check them out. In case you go for Mint make sure to pay attention to the welcome screen once you installed it, that guides you through a lot of stuff like configuring automatic backups and the driver manager to download potentialky missing drivers!
As someone who got started with Linux using Mint too years ago I think you got a great selection there and I wouldn’tup listen too much to the comments, big oarts of the Linux crowd on Lemmy came from Lemmy and it’s toxic and shitty so they will tell you you are wrong no matter what you do or say and recommend terribble things to newcomers! Just flash Mint Cinnamon or Elementary on a USB stick, boot them up and play around with both before you decide which you want to install. I am a Fedora Gnome user myself and as someone who probably values simplicity (mac user) Gnome could be interesting to check out too but it’s very different to anything else out there and you already got two great options to try there! :)
My humor is fucking dark so I had to laugh but that one dose go a little far, it’s a good joke but with that timing I certainly wouldn’t make it!
They are certainly cooler than you and I can tell that from three really stupid messages, you aren’t on Reddit anymore pal!
We will see if this one is actually available, I mean I would definitely like one but not for 100€+ because scalpers got theie hands on the entire supply!
The normal kind! ;)
I would say you are somewhere between arnachism and socialism with that view but I am no expert ether!
In German we call it “Links Grün vesifft”
Small creators have terrible rates for Spotify because they pocket most of the money themself, even many big creators struggle to make significant money with that peace of shit of a app and they have far better rates so I get the idea but you are very wrong!
