Simply put, I need to buy groceries.

It's not that I will have issues learning or researching, it is that I don't have the time too.

If the barrier to using Linux is needing to spend time troubleshooting and researching to do simple tasks, I just won't.

So far this thread has been very enlightening to me, I'm excited to try something new. But my OS is not my hobby.

Oh wonderful! Thank you for the suggestions!

It's what I got to use in highschool computer class, I'm a sucker for what I know.

So I'm building a new computer before the end of the year and lemmy is obviously pushing me towards Linux.

I am not computer savvy, I have a family member that will help me set up my PC, but I do not want to be calling/messaging them every day when I want to open a program.

Basically my question comes down to: can I operate a Linux PC these days without needing to troubleshoot or type code.

I use my computer about once a week for a few hours I would say, so any time spent troubleshooting is time wasted.

Thanks!

EDIT: since a lot of people are asking what programs I typically use, I'll just list my most used programs.

Word, Excel, ect(I'm fine with alternatives)

Spotify

Gimp (would have been a make or break, so I'm glad it's supported)

Brave browser (browser is a browser)

Steam

Discord

I would say that while I could figure out how the kernels work, I'm at a point with computers these days where I don't have the time. My priorities fall with a seamless daily experience. If I have the time to figure something out I can, but ideally my day to day usage being unbotherd is what I'm after.

A lot of the comments so far have been helpful! I'm definitely going to give Linux a fair shot with my new build, probably start with Mint.

I purchased a razor branded Smartwatch, way back when. Thing could barely connect to my phone, it's battery life was atrocious when it did, and all it did was show the time and track steps. It didn't have any built-in notifications so you had to use a separate app. This was fairly early in smart watches though, it was pretty fad-esque.

As someone who runs a Windows phone launcher to this day, I think you're wrong 😂 had they actually pursued them, and supported them better. I think we'd still have Windows phones today, The app store was truly the killer.

Gnu Image manipulation program, no? What a dumb article

This is literally exactly what I meant, far right folks believe that meta specifically sensors their content.

What's funny is that both sides of the political spectrum are going to think this is targeting them. When in reality it's more than likely only going to be used to squash misinformation.

This has got to have been satire right? Since the upvotes/down have been blanked, I'm going to assume it had negative ratio

Open source car? Lol. Design it as easy to aftermarket as possible. Let aftermarket companies sell full seats and ECT. Use only standard connections and hardware

[-] Noved@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 months ago

As long as the price reflects that absolutely. I feel like one of the reasons cars are getting so pricy is because we are filling them with so much bloat. Ex. Heated seats, power windows, tablets. Like, what happened to a base model car?

Cured Egg yolks by separating and submerging in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, white sugar and red chilli flakes. 24-48 hours in the mix before use!

I know patron takes a slice of the pie, but I don’t know the details on Liberapay or OpenCollective. Presumably crypto would have the least potential for fees, but I would rather pledge fiat.
