My first foray into Linux was something like twenty years ago, I ran Linux Mint briefly and happily, but I screwed something up trying to get flash videos to have sound and kind of gave up and went back to windows.

Flash forward, I got my desktop and my husband's laptop set up with Mint now, and I can't believe how easy it was. Everything has been working excellently, and the laptop is getting more attention than its had in years. The software manager is amazing, I got set up with steam and my daw (reaper) in no time. So far I haven't run into anything I've tried to do that I couldn't do with minimal elbow grease.

Thanks for being so passionate about Linux gang, I don't know that I would have converted nearly so quickly if I wasn't exposed to it here. Y'all are cool as hell.

I just want a KDE variant without having to manually install it

[–] HiTekRedNek@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Neon.

Neon is not a daily driver. Other people in the thread have suggested Debian KDE and Kubuntu

Sounds like all you want to do is complain. You have been given numerous options, and none of them are acceptable.

Was that directed to me or the one above me?
