My ex lived in another town and I went there by train. She waited for me on the station platform. I saw her first and took a detour over the neighboring platform because it was pretty crowded. I walked up beside her without her noticing me. Mind you, what follows was completely impromptu (we were both weirdos):
I looked sideways on her tits (she had nice really big tits, like, top 5% big). I spoke pretty loud so a lot of bystanders could hear it.
Me: Hmm, nice tits! Wanna fuck?
She checked me out from top to bottom.
Her: Sure, why not.
Me: OK. But, I gotta know what you taste like first.
Her: OK.
We went on to make the sloppiest wet kiss tongue-in-throat-style.
Me: Your place?
Her: Yah, let's fuck.
People looked at us in disgust, shock, or disbelief. Only one guy had the widest grin on his face. While going I gave her ass a good squeeze. The looks on the faces were priceless.
... and started this saying it's basically my fault I had a bad time with Fedora.
It is/was.
... Your condescending and pretentious attitude has been noted, ...
I'll come back to this further down.
... but I'm a new user to Linux my man.
And evidently a very ignorant one at that. You come at it with preconceived notions of how distributions should work, and then get angry when they don't, when five minutes of googling could have prevented your problems. Only to be followed by troll-level low effort rants on the internet.
None of this is familiar.
And blind trial and error is no good way to change that.
As my day 2 and 3 posts show I can actually troubleshoot and fix things, if I couldn't figure it out, I'd say it's indicative of production and deployment issues on the developers end.
Or, your aforementioned ignorance and wrong preconceived notions of how you think things should work.
As your day 1 post shows, you have the attention span of a squirrel and frustration tolerance of a toddler. Your assumption, that your opinion on a distribution, after spending less than one day with it, has any merit or value is plain arrogant.
But please feel free to not respond, ...
You can always walk away from this.
... you're exactly the kind of Linux user that gives the community it's negative stigma.
You are exactly the kind of person, why I'm in favor of something akin to a drivers license for computers.
... Your condescending and pretentious attitude has been noted, ...
There's nothing noteworthy about your arrogance, ignorance, lack of frustration tolerance and attention span.
Then feel free to fuck off.
Your opinions have the substance of a vacuum and structural integrity of a house of cards. Do yourself and "us" (the linux community) a favor and kindly fuck off yourself.
I used to like C++. Over the last 20 years it became a horrible language (imho). It now has more syntax than all other C-style languages combined. I try not to touch it (anymore) if I don't have to. 7 years ago I got hired as a senior C# .NET developer (experience since .NET 1.1). I ended up doing nothing but C++ for the first year because people found out I could do it. I was the guy in that meme:
It's more of a joke. The tank in the picture is a T28 Super Heavy Tank
. It was developed in the US and was ludicrously large. Not being ready for serial production at the end of WW2 the project was canceled. Only two prototypes were ever built.
I have no experience with Darktable. But, really any and every distro should do it. Every distro comes with a learning curve. My personal advice would be not to go with distro derivatives. In the early days, Ubuntu was quite good, for making Debian "more accessible" to a larger audience and people unfamiliar with linux. I still like it for being an African success story. But, I can't recommend it anymore for a slew of reasons. So, I'd say, go with debian, fedora, or even Arch. If you want to go with debian, you should know about non-free. If you go with fedora, you should know about rpmfusion. If you want to go with Arch, you should be comfortable with a more bare-bones and hands-on experience and reading the Arch-wiki (which is one of the most extensive and best wikis out there, and even useful if you use another distro). If you want something stable that just works and don't need the newest of the new software, use debian. If you want the bleeding edge, that mostly just works, go with fedora. If you want the bleeding edge, want maximum control, and are not afraid to stay on top of it, go with Arch. Of course, many other distros could be a good pick for you. They all have pros and cons.
I'm curious to hear how that works out. I'm a big fan of C#; not so much the Microsoft ecosystem. I'd say for maximum scalability you'd want languages which compile to small binaries. So, Go, Rust, C++, C, and theoretically some others. The approach with Java and C# to bundle the framework, JIT, etc, and then try to shave off as much as you can get away with feels kind of backwards. And I get the excitement of the Java folks when they manage to create a self-contained binary with GraalVM and co of 12mb. Like, that's impressive, but had you developed the same thing with Go it would be .5mb. Curious to see how .NET fares in that comparison to Java.
