  • To answer questions 1, 2, and 3:

    1. Yes you can 👍

    2. yep, do your rice. Maybe visit the Unixporn community.

    3. For the most part (in MY experience) changing DEs only involves installing the desktop package, choosing your login manager, and then removing the old DE and its native apps (unless you want to keep them)



  • But that’s why I said we should improve upon these alternatives tho, they are certainly not perfect and I never said they could replace Windows software currently

    Today’s reality is that most people (aka everyone) depends on these proprietary piece of software that are not avaiable on Linux, Adobe’s and Microsoft’s being the main ones.

    But I believe that by focusing on improving and showing people that these alternatives exists and can be useable would help them slowly migrate to our open platforms, maybe even making proprietary software be ported to Linux.

    When it comes to production software, THATS what we need, native Linux apps, and WINE does not solve that issue, so seeing it as a possible solution for running your production software (like Office 2021) will unsurprisingly cause days of fixing your stuff, while native Linux apps on the other hand, GIMP, Libreoffice, Inkscape, all work out of the box

    A good portion of the “drama” comes from drivers issues, which are hit or miss within Linux distros. Your hardware can only work on boot or make you cry in pain while trying to compile them 😅 But when the hardware works, all you need to do is get used to the open source ecosystem! Wish you the best in your desktop Linux journey 🙂








  • Brazilian here: I think that part of what makes these regimes to be as bad as they were is the legacy that they left. Not only did they cause alot of suffering with their violence and brutality, but also had their ideology impregnated in our society in the form of poverty, racism and conflicts that are still perpetuated to this day.

    So, to me, both were as shitty as they could be in their own way, and reminds us how we humans can be consistently evil and cowards as a collective or nation.

    But with effort and courage, one day we may see these ideologies disappear once and for all, and make them nothing but history.
