    Off the top of my head, rope to put down Gide lines in case you get silted out so you have something to follow to get out.

    Also extra everything, if your open water diving and you run out of air (or other critial equipment failure) you can roll the dice on the bends by going straight to the surface, not so with cave diving; your just going to drown.




  • I’ve done it. I agree it can be done very easily. But is relying on all new users entering the right question into google and google returning a correct answer for their distro that is not 7 years out of date the best strategy in the long run?

    Any distro that does not offer a option during install or on first boot to just install this stuff with a promt is not new user friendly.


  • I second popos and mint. I love fedora but if he is a gamer you want something that will just work (navida built in or a very easy one click mechanism to get it). If he has to research PPAs and installing rpmfussion it will get all too hard very quickly. Also do some expectation setting before hand, research what games he plays work on linux, better he finds out now rather than after 2 hours of pain or getting band for “hacking” because of proton triggered an anti-cheat thing.

    Edit: I run fedora on all my machines except my gaming rig which is popos. Fedora works too but popos is hassle a free experience.

    During the week production break he needed to ask if he should still do the WAN show; I don’t see how that answer was not obvious to anyone with an half a gram of common sense.

    People can be trolls, what if enough assholes decided to get him to do the WAN show that week? Or what if there where too many hardcore fans that would agree to anything?

    Just a lot if risks throwing questions like that out there and following through on the result… Just look at brexit.

    They are not what the used to be that’s for sure. I rarely watch them and when I do I normally remember why I don’t within a minute. Still hoping the will lift their game but subebed to a lot of other tech channels as they are all better than “how many USB device can you plug into a PC”.

    It a shitty mindset but a common one. Putting warrenty claims asside, specs still aren’t everything. Look at the coverage of gaming hand helds (switch/steam deck vs Asus ally). Linus thinks windows in this form factor is an advantage to the user experience because specification number goes up.
