For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Obligatory "switch to Linux" comment.

I had that problem and that solution did resolve it.

Unfortunately it made me the weird lady at the bar recommending people try operating systems

"What'll you have to drink?"
"I use arch, btw"

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Just give me the hops, yeast, and water and I’ll compile it myself.

Yes I use arch, how did you know

Hey weird lady, what would you recommend?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I like Garuda but you should probably try something more stable. Plasma 6 is nice though.

Do your research and focus on your priorities. That said I think neon is probably what I’d recommend to my wife

Thanks for the suggestions, would those be good for gaming?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Garuda is built for gaming and it’s as beginner friendly as an arch based rolling release can be which is medium? It definitely isn’t super stable but I like it.

I’m not super knowledgeable about neon but I believe it can handle gaming fairly well. It looked to be much closer to the modern windows than any of the other distros I’ve seen.

I will recommend KDE as a desktop environment because you can easily change it.

I also hear good things about Pop OS which is a very beginner friendly distro that’s good for gaming but I don’t like GNOME and it doesn’t like my Dvorak

Right on, I'll check some of them out. I need to find something before Windows 10 stops getting security updates in October 2025; thanks again!

@MeDuViNoX @captainlezbian Hello, other weird person heard you from across the bar and decided to interject.

For gaming it's really 2-3 operating systems that are probably going to have the best results.

Ubuntu, for all Canonical's faults, has the widest array of online resources for finding problems.

Pop_OS! is similar to Ubuntu but maintained by System76 and I've seen sometimes said to be better.

SteamOS 3.0 (the OS on the Steam Deck) has two desktop derivatives in HoloISO & Chimera OS.

Nice, I've got a Steam deck already, but I haven't messed with it in desktop mode too much. I think I might start with the last 2 OS you mentioned and see how it goes. Thank you!
