Omg, I love this! Thank you
🐧 Hello, I am an electrical engineer living in the SE USA that enjoys Linux, FOSS, Python, scripting, light gaming, photography, hiking, nature, and my spouse and cats. Oh, and I laugh at stuff often without warning. haha Also at @Captain_Faraday@social.linux.pizza @Captain_Faraday@pixelfed.social


Omg, I love this! Thank you


Wait, Clippy was not helpful but at least pulpy and funny. I honestly miss that sorta stuff in software. Everything is so minimal and sterile these days. I mean, I use Neovim and prefer finding ways use my terminal for things, but I love my themes to be fun and still useful at least. I wish there was a local LLM you could run with Clippy as the animated face of it lol.


Saw this on Reddit earlier


I vote Fedora as well, I love it having come from windows myself about a year ago. Not a big gamer anymore, but can confirm Minecraft runs well on Fedora KDE Plasma and looks similar to windows. I am a homelabber by hobby and an electrical engineer by trade. I do a bit of light CS and networking/SCADA for in my job. Understanding Unix-based systems is helpful for both realms. If your friend is a CS student and doesn’t have a PC already as a daily driver, this is THE time to get into Linux in my opinion since they are a blank canvas. I’m of the opinion knowing Unix-based systems, like Linux is only going to help you later in your career so might as well learn it now. Haha


Super helpful, thanks! I run Fedora 42 KDE and have had my Bluetooth randomly be disabled when booting, hopefully this will help some.
Thank you, this is a well written resource!
lol that just occurred to me too
