Linux is easy!

Let me guess, NVIDIA?

- Yea, but nvidia on this machine just works with nouveau and wayland kde 🤷🏻 so it is a me fault, since it is most likely just a missing config

Looks great! Where can I download this theme?

"Kitty"

- That jar behind the kitty looks like a really creeped out face.

- I'm always going to upvote a kitty pic, and I think a random kitten can improve every comment section... but why here?
  
  Edit: Oh, I see now.

Oh no, did you enter sudo e̵͓̞͕̲̦̍̓̔ļ̸͉͎͓͠d̴̮̻̎̔͛͊̐r̴͔̰̋̌̈̽͜͝i̵̡͕̜̰̖͑͗͊̕̚t̷̼̘̓͐́c̷̨̺͠h̵͚̀͛ ̶̲̳͍̝͐̈́͘͠h̸̛͓̞̓͊̏̈́ő̸̡͖̘̮͜͠͠r̸̩̪̩̭̩̎r̸̘̠̳̈́̎̽o̴̜͍͔̖͋͝ȓ̸͍͔̈́͂̌̓ again?

  Obviously you're missing a font!

  You forgot to sacrifice your firstborn beforehand

- nah ... just copied and pasted a command I found online ... don't know what it does tho

  That's what entering sudo e̵͓̞͕̲̦̍̓̔ļ̸͉͎͓͠d̴̮̻̎̔͛͊̐r̴͔̰̋̌̈̽͜͝i̵̡͕̜̰̖͑͗͊̕̚t̷̼̘̓͐́c̷̨̺͠h̵͚̀͛ ̶̲̳͍̝͐̈́͘͠h̸̛͓̞̓͊̏̈́ő̸̡͖̘̮͜͠͠r̸̩̪̩̭̩̎r̸̘̠̳̈́̎̽o̴̜͍͔̖͋͝ȓ̸͍͔̈́͂̌̓ means.

- Thunder app renders everything as a empty box, which actually makes it harder to read than normal zalgo

Can't reproduce.

~~No, seriously, please date me 🥺~~

- It is just hyprland with default config and nvidia 😄 the tutorial explicitly says that it won’t work without changing configs
  
  12
- Now kiss
  
  14
  
  But better keep things dry, you'll really do yourself a solid

My guy, circuit-bending is usually only for music.

Ah hyprland. Had this issue for some time too.

An update fixed it

- I bet, all works when I get to play with my Linux again 😂

linux is easy... to break things. But look at all the amazing things you'll learn recovering from that!

The pain will pass and the endorphines will be amazing. I should know, I've been in similar shit way too many times.

- Using Windows is terrible right now, but we've spent so much time using it that we developped workarounds and knowledge of the OS.
  
  When you switch to Linux, it's a different OS altogether, and that's not counting the different flavors.
  
  So yeah, all that to say that the pain and friction pass quite rapidly and you are left with an uncluttered OS (until you fill it up with useless crap).
  
  Corpos have worked so hard at making the UX "seamless" that people aren't used to fiddling with the computer anymore.
  
  13
- 😁 this is no pain, at least for me. It’s fun to dig for the issues

So easy you could make that complex visualization without any effort.

25
- Well, I had to install some stuff..
  
  7
That's clearly just the hackers accessing your mainframe.

15
You just can't see the Matrix bruh. Git good like Neo.

23
- git: 'good' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. The most similar command is hook
  
  :-(

  git checkout -b good
  
  Sometimes you must do for yourself

If you want an easy Linux experience maybe you should avoid installing your own WM, more if it is a tilling one.

17
- No, for fucks sake: I have no idea how Linux works and expect to be proficient after I installed ubuntu once. Must be Linux that is bad if my apt repositories don't work on arch. Fuck it, I'll go back to windows
  
  21
- To be honest, I expected nothing else with my 750m mac edition running on nouveau
  
  Probably a simple line in config to fix it, or some swap fail (there is kde visible somehow)
  
  But first I have to fix build error of hyprland-git 🤓
  
  5
  
  There are distros with Hyprland already built in the repositories, not having to build something make things considerably easier.

You have entered TRON. Say hello to Jeff Bridges when you see him.

Cool window manager.

Get an immutable distro. That way when you inevitably destroy it, it comes back from the dead!

(Disclaimer: I still havent tried, Im too scared, I just got the nvdia slowly blurring my screen after sleeping working again)

- Inevitably???
  
  3
- Immutable distros works great when you want them exactly as they come. Anything else is a shit show IMHO.
  
  As an example, multiple fedora based immutable distros dont have the codecs required to play YouTube videos. You have to either replace the rpm-ostree based Firefox with the flatpaks one or layer ffmpeg over the base system. Both solutions I wouldn't expect someone without Linux knowledge to be able to do.

  Layering is usually not advised as it can cause issues. You're usually supposed to use something like DistroBox but that often does not actually work or is very convoluted. Definitely not something for newbies, which is kinda at odds with the safety of an immutable system.

- Anyone know if Ublue Aurora works out of the box with a MacBook like OP has? I've got a 2014 MacBook Pro that I'm probably putting Linux on next year once I no longer need Mac OS.
  
  My gaming laptop, with an Nvidia graphics card, is running Bazzite and I've never had any issues with it (of course, ymmv).

  I think, maybe the wifi driver will not work out of box. it Most likely has the same broadcom wifi card. EndeavourOS was the only OS where wifi worked out of box. With the other, I had to either get de b43 firmware files or install the wl driver from broadcom. Wl driver seemed to achieve a more stable condition.
  
  If it has a legacy nvidia, like mine (750m), your best bet is using nouveau driver, which comes out of box, and is mostly wayland compatible (it just worked on kde and gave this glitchfest on hyprland.
  
  If you want dual boot like me, you have to shrink and create the new partition as fat32 in macOS first.
  
  I have never tried immutable yet

- I'm a complete linux noob currently using Bazzite and its treated me well so far. I just web browse and game on this machine though, no professional or special requirements like some have.

  Try to install Mullvad VPN. Don't use the .rpm because if you happen to be able to install that it bricks your system. In my case that didn't even work, luckily, but the app just won't seem to work within a suggested DistroBox setting either. Can't get ROCm to properly work either, which is already a pain in the ass on a regular distro.
  
  1
  
  Yeah im using bazzite as well. My 4070 is kinda causing me some headaches as the driver seems to crash my firefox constantly when using KDE which pushed me back to X11 but its been a while since I tested it out again.

Oh no your laptop is cursed by a blizard a wizard is currently rushy to your house to fix it

- Hope thei brings some space candies 😏
