> So what we are missing now is a 500GB framework that can write the config file for the programming language that is writing a config file for the actual program I wish to use. That exists since 1960. It's called LISP. The e.g. https://guix.gnu.org/ uses with great success, the Guile Scheme dialect of LISP, to be precise. And FYI the "framework" is:- Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago$ ls --human-readable --size $(readlink $(which...
> inventing a brand new purely functional language programming language. ISTM that if you dislike that, then there's GUIX. https://guix.gnu.org/ Very briefly, AFAICT, it's "Nix but using Scheme". - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Https://guix.gnu.org for example. It did load before an update but it doesn't anymore. Source: 11 months ago

We shouldn't speak ill of the dead. But..., distrotest.net wasn't perfect either, as can be seen here. Source: 12 months ago
Yep, so definitely some learning curve as far as drivers and compatibility issues with graphics cards etc. Ubuntu has a really nice support community that has a lot of support documentation about dual boot etc. I can send some links if you'd like. I was considering doing a dual boot as well but have never pulled the trigger, even though I freed up the space on my storage drive. I did a lot of reading about it... Source: over 1 year ago
You can try any distribution online for free without installation using distrotest.net. My advice is to look for a distribution that offers the KDE desktop environment. There are others and they're great too, but KDE in particular is the closest to Windows (Windows 11 even took some of their features) and has a lot of features, including a full set of great general purpose desktop apps.

Definitely follow links in the sidebar. That's why they're there. :) The distro is in some ways less important than the desktop. Mint Cinnamon and Plasma will be fairly Windblows-like. My biases are not germane, however I started on Mint and went hopping till I settled on ArcoLinux. I'd recommend either trying out distros in a VM after switching, or just go with distrotest.net. It can be overwhelming at first.... Source: over 1 year ago
Distrotest.net was a very good tool to try hundreds of distros/flavours and now it's gone. Any other web site, app or solution for achieving similar first-hand text experience ? Source: over 1 year ago
