@vibeonX69 Beginners probably best with Mint. If youre a power user, you might be ok with a fedora. It depends on use case.

@vibeonX69 Different recommendations for different experience levels and use cases.

Which Linux distro would you recommend to beginners today? -Ubuntu -Linux Mint -Zorin OS -Fedora

@ishowcybersec Probably @Ubuntu or @Linux_Mint. I like @fedora but I've been doing this a while. I'm told @bazzite_gg is good because it installs a lot of packages the Fedora team deliberately defaults uninstalled (for licensing reasons) packages most would need for media playback and such.

Which Linux Distro should every beginner start with?

@MbarkCherguia Sabotage

Your phone connects to these speakers. Which song are you playing first?

@sciencegirl Is this a concept design or production? Its sick if its on sale!

The new laptop from Huawei. Pay attention starting at the 13th second.

Deciding an app is finally worthy to pin to your taskbar

If there was a killer use case for this "powerful agentic experience," surely they'd be touting it. But instead we are sold the ability to do things we can already do, just with less security and privacy.

@rohanpaul_ai Maybe it's the nerd in me but this is so cool!

Researchers at the University of Genoa’s RICE lab have introduced Porcospino Flex, a bio-inspired robot built to move through places where standard wheeled or legged robots cannot operate. Its design takes cues from segmented invertebrates, featuring a flexible, 3D-printed spinal structure that can bend, compress, and reshape itself. The body uses meta materials made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), which cut the total weight down to 3.6 kg while increasing impact resistance. Locomotion: Instead of using many joints or tracks, Porcospino Flex moves with one continuous track that wraps around its body. Steering happens through an internal wire and winch system, which bends the body laterally to help it adapt to rough ground while keeping traction. This setup lets the robot travel through tight or cluttered spaces like collapsed buildings, industrial pipes, or EV battery compartments, where traditional or modular snake robots often fail. The demo video shows how its flexible body and constant track contact let it move steadily through debris without complicated gait control.

@hiarun02 Perhaps a better question is which Desktop environment are you comfortable with? Once youre comfy with your DE, then deciding distro specific stuff. You can pretty much run most DE's on top of any distro. TLDR pick a DE and decide the distro later.

Starting Linux today. Which distro should I begin with?

@thatstraw If you want to install fedora, you might want to prepare a post installation guide or search it after you install it is fine too... It's not hard and its probably the last time you see the terminal.

@thatstraw No, a beginner should use Mint or Zorin! Fedora is good but you need to be intermediate level for it since it expects you to install all the packages you want. Mint and Zorin come pre-installed with all the essentials.

@sysxplore htop, ncdu, vim, nmap, qemu, rclone, sshfs and a few others I can't quite think of. Usually keyboard memory.

What's the first thing you do after a new Linux installation?

@SecurityTrybe I use vim. And you?

@maybicar_ @Pirat_Nation @only_office has better Microsoft compatibility just fyi.

I tried Fedora and liked it a lot. The only problem is the lack of office 365 support. I know I could be using Libre Office, but it's not as good... I also found myself using the terminal more than I expected to which is not a big issue but I can see how it could be some others.

@nixcraft Might be an obvious thing but why are you excluding /proc? Would that be basically running df -h against everything in memory also?

Want disk usage per dir on a Linux? Try: du -h --exclude=/proc --max-depth=1 /

Seen this a million times and still get the giggles 😂

Great question 🤔

This is soooo me in the morning...

@Windows 2k baby 😭

yes
