it was comfy, but i think i just got a wrong distro or did something wrong. i didnt understand much so thats probably why i didnt "get" it so much. i'll return to it in a couple days when i have more experience with it in a VM.
You sound like a larping highschooler. >creative work >adobe Kek, is this creative work cropping images on 4chin? At least you tried going off your usual style Jay, I'll give you that.

Congratulations, you learned early that loonix is for the mentally ill and for people who have either extremely esoteric or extremely basic computer needs. Don't let the retards here meme you again.

You can't switch over to GNU/Limic expecting to use the same set of proprietary software (steam, discord, photoshop...) you did on Windows. The main reason for switching in the first place should be the that you want to use free software. Try switching out the programs you use on windows first (gimp instead of ps, etc.) To get used to free software, then switch to a free OS.
Austin Hughes
Discord runs on Linux though. Not that I use it.
Also no, I'd like to use an OS for free and Linux just works. It's not an ideological reason. Plus I like the user friendly terminal workflow for dev work.

As a distro, nothing, but I'm pretty sure there are devs shilling the paid release so they get more money.

TL;DR

You don't have root permission by default in any Linux distribution unless you build from source. You need to log in as root with the su utility or use sudo to get permission for those types of tasks so you need to make sure you have a root password when you do that.
Evan Garcia
Nothing wrong with it, bro. I have donated some money to them anyways. Support FOSS devs.
Jose Jenkins
Why do you even need to create a folder in /opt/
Joseph Howard
its ok to "shill" if something good. i dont see the magnitude of zorin mention like brave, you can know the product quality by the amount of shilling it needs
Alexander Jenkins
maybe he wanted to use opt for its express purpose instead of the philistines using /usr/local/
