Well actually...

Interesting. I put mayo on my hot dog buns. Just makes it better.

Id like ai a lot more if this were the case

way better than you’d expect, or a structurally catastrophic mess

and that’s a 50/50 or

Just be to grow your own tomatoes and raise your own cows first

Ive always used Debian based OS and I'm scared of arch. But I'm intrigued.

Here's some others:

• Windows is garbage. The last time windows was good was Windows [10, 7, 2000, NT, 3.1, O/S2].
• don't you care about your privacy?
• All AI is all slop all the time. If you think of using AI you are garbage.
• Star Trek. I have no issues with my Star Trek homies. Y'all are awesome.

I'm sure Linux is overrepresented across the whole of Lemmy but to be fair, we are in a community specifically about Linux. You could also just block the term Linux and be done with it

Looks like it. You distribute it across the bread.

Are you talking about making a grilled cheese where you sub Mayo for the butter? Cuz it turns out pretty awesome!

It will be now that the idea has been sown.

Then there will be rival distros that hate each other. Dukes vs Miracle Whip debates. etc.

This doesn't really help you see what runs on your hardware.

A distribution isn't a desktop.

Oh, I remember that margarine brand, ICBINB: I Can't Believe ICBINB's Not Butter

I think you need to reinitialize pan.sh

so, that's NetBSD under heavy load.

Instructions unclear, now have a perfectly functioning system whereas before it would show ads in the Start Menu. Should I start over and do again?

Who said anything about cheese?

Even better, Debian. Most peaceful distro ever.

I read this as a "rolling cheese distro." Like Debedam, or Camombware. I use Brie, btw.

Or you could set up your desired sandwich through a few simple config files.

Virtualbox is fine to test things out. In general, if you were to install it directly to your machine, it will run snappier than it will run in the virtual machine. Just saying if it feels laggy in Virtualbox, that doesn't mean it won't work.

For ISOs just go to the website of the distro you choose and look for 'Downloads'. Usually there's an ISO that's been optimized for Virtualbox.

I'm guessing you're currently on Windows, right? If so, Virtualbox is perfectly fine, otherwise, if you're on Linux already, you could use Boxes or Virt manager that are more performant, but don't stress yourself if you just wanna play around Virtualbox will always be more than sufficient.
As for the ISOs you can just get them directly from the distro websites or, if using Boxes, you can choose one at VM creation and it'll download it for you

Personally, I'd just try live boot usbs instead of going to the effort of setting up VMs for different distros.

For getting images, my approach would be to search for the distro name to find its website and look for their downloads page. If there's multiple flavours, just pick one and see how you like it. You can always switch to a different one once you've got enough experience to decide what is and isn't important for you.

If you just want to game, Fedora was pretty easy to get going for me. I just installed that and then steam and was able to play games after that. I've got an AMD gpu and it was actually easier than on windows, since you still need to install gpu and chipset drivers on windows. The only time I spent on that in Fedora was the time it took to figure out I didn't need to do that.

Only parts that took a little digging was mounting my other partitions (I think because I misunderstood some setup during the install, but it ended up being no big deal) and finding the setting that enabled all games to be attempted to run with proton, since by default steam will only show games with official linux support as playable by default.

Also getting sound working the way I wanted it to was a bit of a hassle, though any of the workarounds I tried worked pretty quickly. I wanted to use the optical digital, but it wouldn't at first, but sound did work from the analog port as well as plugging my soundbar in via USB. And even though I gave up on getting the digital to work at the time because I just wanted to play a game, when I later swung back to it, it just worked, so I'm guessing it was just broken because my motherboard was a new one and the software needed to be updated to properly support it.

Get one. I got an AWOW mini just for playing with distros.

Given up on butter I see
