Here to follow content related to Star Trek, Linux, open-source software, and anything else I like that happens to have a substantial Lemmy community for it.

Going by their Mastodon account, seems they were erroneously detected as “from a US-sanctioned region” and it took too long for said error to be resolved, so they just made the switch.
I’m not a classic Linuxer (I switched in 2015) but I did once try Mandrake out of historical curiosity. From what I hear it was the recommended “beginner-friendly” distro before Ubuntu came out. And based on how hard it was to get working on a VM, I now understand why classic Linuxers talk about Ubuntu like it was this huge sea change.
f00f/eris@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•What would you change about your favorite Linux distribution?English0·1 year agoDebian needs a better installer. It’d be awesome if it had something more akin to Fedora/RHEL’s Anaconda, or even just made Calamares the default (so long as it didn’t install every single locale available like their live inages currently do).
f00f/eris@startrek.websiteto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Best Desktop Distro for Gaming?English0·2 years agoMost regular distros are good enough for gaming. The only issue you’re likely to run into is with graphics drivers (I recommend going for AMD graphics on that build), and the availability of certain software in certain formats (gaming software is more likely to be available for Debian or Ubuntu based distros).
If you like the Steam Deck’s desktop mode, you might enjoy another distro with the same desktop environment (KDE Plasma). I’m partial to KDE Neon, a snappy Ubuntu LTS spin with all of the latest KDE software.
Just as long as it isn’t a .rar.
