My favorite has been Sandstorm.io ever since I discovered it. Sure, it doesn’t look as pretty as the others, but it’s super easy if you use one of their free hostnames.

Hmm… I may have to try Manjaro again, but the simple fact that there are 2 GUI package managers is not a great sign for total noobs. The main reason I’ve been staying away from it tho is the cert controversy and the arch repo ddos.

Yeah I know it has a GUI app for installing software, though IIRC isn’t it more similar to something like Synaptic than GSoftware?

I’ve actually had pretty bad experiences with Manjaro. No. 1, it cones with a lot of “apps” that aren’t obvious in what they do, and package management on Arch and Arch-based distros is very very not obvious to beginners (Syu? What does Syu mean. Wait, you mean I’m updating my whole system every time I want to install something? Where’s GNOME Software? Etc)

Makes sense! I guess without an antivirus there’s no way of distinguishing legitimate activity from illegitimate activity at the system level when dealing with downloaded programs. Also, my Voyager app decided that your “link” was actually a link and tried to make an embed lol

That makes a lot of sense, thanks!

I know nothing about software. That’s… Why I asked.

I understand that antivirus software is necessary on Windows, but I’ll never understand the existence of Windows Defender. If Microsoft knows enough to prevent a virus that exploits something in windows, why are they putting their effort into an antivirus program, and not fixing ththe problem in Windows? If someone has a good explanation for this, I’d love to hear it.

So… Windows?

Any particular reason you want Gab and not Mastodon that it’s based on?

Ahh got it. I never rename my devices so I thought that was a product name.

On a side note, what the heck is a Google Octopus?

I love this! Golden Grahams are one of my favorite cereals, and I always thought this one had lots of potential…

That’s super cool, and actually useful cause it tells you something as opposed to being inactive text.

Pokémon + Crab Champions. Hmm… A bunch of Krabby beating the crap out of each other?

Hytale doesn’t post on the fediverse yet. That’s my reason.

Sounds like I might be the youngest here lol. I started with Ubuntu 11.04 which I would live boot off CD in my school laptop. After I got my own laptop with Windows 8, I used Windows for a good long while until the thing got super slow after having windows 10 for a while. That’s when I got back in to linux.

Personally, I host Sandstorm, and Discord music bot, and Minecraft.
