i guess it depends on how your going to use it, how big your drive is, etc. many would suggest buying a thinkpad or whatever to get away from apple. if youve got enough space on your drive (maybe extra 100GB or more), all files backed up, i would personally recommend a dual boot, so everything is on the same machine. i think hardware&installation is a big hurdle for new linux users. if your planning on distro hopping, you can create a home partition which can be kept between distro installation, so you dont have to remove all your files when reinstalling

imo mint is still a great option for beginners. i would also recommend endevouros if you want something arch based that just works, but its not as great for absolute beginners. i could find some tutorials for mac dual booting, so i would assume its pretty similar to dual booting on windows, which is pretty easy to set up. its annoying to switch back and forth tho

have you tried a real distro like Arch™?

/s... thats unfortunate. i know linux isnt for everyone

which distros? just curious

it can run on almost any browser, it can be bundled to run on desktop or mobile. i know wasm exists but javascript is still sadly an extremely versatile language, mostly due to its support on the web

yeah i was mostly joking. rust will never catch up to javascripts beauty

nothing dw about it 😘

ahah nice

what! how did you know??!?

i mean...it makes sense

sounds good

try linux

haskell: "you submitted your math work instead of an essay"

javascript: "this is awful, but at least i can read it anywhere i like"

lisp: "it is not grammatically correct to nest brackets so much"

lua: "your vocabulary is too limited and you have the writing skills of a child"

rust: "omg. your essay is fast, safe, and perfect in every way! A+"

css: "this is beautiful, but it doesnt say anything"

no it doesnt

..a broken heart.....dont worry....you wouldnt understand...

holy moly that is dumb

rare lua L

indexes in memory can be thought of as the address of the leftmost bit in a byte (container)
