You should use linux
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
Fuck you and your stupid code, man! You fucking fucktard cannot distinguish a ; from a :! I do not care how fucking unpaid you loser are, get. this. code. right. Now fuck off!
- Word of our Lord and Saviour
I heard rumours that there was a giant animal involved in the making of Linus Torvalds. So please refer to him as GNU/Linus, or GNU+Linus.

Lemmy ain’t gonna like this. Ain’t gonna like it one bit.
i get being passionate but when its every. single. comment. it gets exhausting.
it’s like if i went and commented “BE A VEGAN” under every picture of a burger on c/foodporn. like live your truth!!, but be decent about it for goodness sake.
I get it.
Im literally a Linux support guy for a living and even I think people can be obnoxious recommending Linux.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll shit on Windows when I get the chance, but I get why people either have to use it or just don’t want the hassle of Linux.
Sorta related. I'm gonna be moving in a couple months and decided I want to start dipping my toes Into Linux when I do. I want to set up a mini pc hooked up to my TV as my 'streaming box', not planning on doing anything fancy like iptv or any of the RR suite apps/self hosting since I don't actually watch much TV except for movie nights and the odd TV show.
OK here's my actual question, what's a solid simple distro I can set up and not fuss with much that'll serve that purpose? Realistically it'll just be for browsing the free streaming sites and possibly later on setting up old console/arcade emulators. My tech level is 'go to guy in the non tech related office that fixes pc stuff 90 percent of the time'. Bonus if anyone can recommend a mini pc or brand I should look into.
Not the guy you asked, an he may have a better recommendation, but Linux Mint Cinnamon was incredible for when I needed something that just worked out of box. It’s really good in terms of compatibility and defaults to a super usable system right out of the box.
You could take a look at Kodi for more of a "smart TV" vibe. I'm currently running it on a RPi 4 using the LibreELEC OS (very minimal Debian based distro), and I'm really happy with it. I'm mostly using it to watch YouTube, our country's national TV and my locally stored series and movies.
I agree with you 100% except I'm not sure what the hassle of using Linux would be in 2024.
Preach.

Love Linux, definitely foresee myself having it as a daily driver in the not too distant future. That out of the way, I initially thought “is this even a shitpost” lmao

You should use BSD

Bsd's not disconinued people use it, there are dozens of us dozens
I found a fellow BSD user in its natural habitat, a miracle

Can you share examples of this happening?
(I mean, obviously this thread has lots of "you should use Linux"'s in it, but those are clearly satirical.)
i can but i don’t want to :)
browse any OS related post under c/all, they will find you
You complain about OS recomendations under OS related posts?
no i complain about the same annoying comments posted where they are not asked for.
I think in threads where an obviously well-informed computer user asks a question about how to accomplish something or troubleshoot something in Windows, it's pretty much never helpful to recommend using Linux instead. They probably know about Linux. They either must, or want to use Windows. It's a pretty common occurrence, however.
Though these days, you might get to recommend Linux anyway by saying "you should use wsl2."

You really really shouldn't. It sucks in a number of ways neither Windows nor Linux do by themselves.

lol was this sarcasm? This has to be sarcasm.
you should use Linux
I should use linux
performing inward self investigation as a way of improvement while allowing others to make that decision for themselves
based.
Totally understandable. Haven't used windows at all, home or work, in at least a decade. However, I went through my insufferable Linux zealot phase about 15 years ago.
I was an annoying judgemental ass, but I got better.
proud of you for your growth, and more than that, your willingness to admit so aloud 🙇♀️ 👑
That's not to say that I still don't honestly consider Linux a better option in most use cases. I just don't generally wade in past the most simple explanations of stuff.
If people want to switch, they will. I've realized I'm not doing anyone any favours by being pushy.

I was lucky to be in a few companies that enforce win, Linux and Mac laptops.
In the win company (a pretty big one, everyone has heard of it), they've given me Think pad T14 that had an i3 proc that was falling behind 3 generations.
In the Linux company they've supplied me with a disgusting chromebook, "because everything in the cloud now". Discussed ByOD, worked from my own one.
In the most recent company - the smallest one I've been working in, they've given me a decent M1 Pro with 16 Gb.
So at least, companies that enforce Mac will give you a decent machine to work on.
