• Linux distributions for beginners in 2024: Expert tested and reviewed

  I’ve seen Raycast adjacent apps for Linux, but I don’t know what the current go-to all the kids are using these days. I used Quicksilver on OS X back in the day, which kind of defined the category I think. But these days I try to keep it simple. Elementary OS seems to be trying to solve for the design issue, but it’s not as polished as macOS and there are still all the 3rd party apps to contend with.

• what happened to my linux mint laptop and how do I fix it?

  If you want something new you probably want to aim light. I'd opt for AntiX full version as it's very light, stable and comes with a variety of lightweight desktops, themes and other stuff to choose from at login. The sister project MXLinux could also be worth a look for a more traditional system, but I'd try the Fluxbox option to keep things light. Source: 11 months ago

I've tried to look around but I'm not finding any details on what's going on. There was a mention of bad hardware, but if my other ISO's are booting no problem I dont think that is the issue.

  I tried so many Fedora, Linux mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Debian, Arch Linux, Opensuse Tumbleweed . And so on actually pretty much everything off Distro watch, YouTube , and any others I head about. And I found something I liked by each version. I'm kind thinking sticking with Manjaro, tumbleweed, Linux mint, Ubuntu, or Fedora. So honestly I can give opinions on each distribution. But you want a Kde plasma. A lot of... Source: 12 months ago
