What type of device is it? If it’s a Surface device there’s a few distros that include the Surface Kernel add-ons, if none of the ones with it included suit you, you can compile the add-ons into the kernel for any Linux distro.

That’s what I hated about the Reddit Linux communities. Everyone, or nearly, was super hostile towards nubs. Ask a question anywhere, sometimes even in the “newbie” r/ s, and it’d just be an echo chamber of “don’t you know how to use Google?” Or similar stuff.
I’ve been dabbling with Linux for almost 2 decades at this point, and when I get stuck it’s because I’ve already exhausted my web search abilities.
The most frustrating is when you hit a super niche issue, and the only relevant result is a single forum post with the exact same issue, and the only reply is OP saying “nevermind, figured it out myself.”
And then to be told to fuck off and learn how to do a web search…

You’re on .ml, they have a filter. The thing that was removed was w h o r e.

Alright folks, I want to see a nice orderly queue. Pitchforks are at station one, sign one out with either Mandy or Greg(wave to the folks, guys). Station two is where you can pick up a torch. Jeff and Kenny will help you out over at station two. After getting your torch and pitchfork, please proceed to the staging area, Steph will get you all in position, and get your torches lit.
Alright guys! Enjoy your rabid mob!

Is there a UK equivalent?

The Elongated Muskrat would never say anything just for clout, obviously OP just doesn’t understand or appreciate his genius!

/S in case it wasn’t obvious.

You should dual boot, or get a live USB of a Linux distro now, and acclimatise to the way things are done in Linux.
There’s a lot of things that still need to be done through the CLI. Luckily documentation for Linux is one of it’s strong points.

I’m older than you guys, late 30s, my first pc was an old DOS machine with a black and amber monitor. I found the switch to Linux really easy, and I’m pretty sure the fact I started with a CLI(Command Line Interface) helped.
Like you said, read the docs.
I would add that you should start by trying to do as much as you can from CLI. There’s some things, on some/most distros, that just can’t be done through the GUI.

The faster you get comfortable with the CLI the easier your transition will be.
That said, the distros coming out now are a load more noob friendly than when I started fiddling with Linux, and the number of things you 100% need to do through CLI has shrunk significantly.

I made this lemmy.ca account today because the admins stated specifically that they will defed and block meta. I moved from a larger instance, but that account only had a month and a bit of history to it, and I have no issue just closing up shop there.

I’ll just leave these here…
