    Debian is fine, but if you have technical troubles you don’t want to deal with, then go straight to Ubuntu. Either Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE), Ubuntu, or some other Ubuntu variation.

    As a new Linux user, I would recommend Ubuntu over Debian. It is easier to setup, has a lot more online documentation, provides various apps to make life a bit simplier like integrations and AppStore (even though you should try to away from Linux app store because of broken apps)

    Arch is really the king diamond in desktop Linux in my opinion, due to their rolling releases (I love new stuff even if it may break things), but especially because for the Arch Wiki (which is good for other OS users to read too) and the Arch AUR. If going Arch, I recommend using arch-install to make installing it much easier. Update the default arch-install after booting pacman -Ss arch-install then just run.

    Also as a new or intermediate Linux user, I strongly recommend LTS (Long Term Support) versions. For example, Ubuntus latest version is not LTS, and has been out for multiple months, and there are still a huge amount of apps not ready to easily install – and you either have to spend a lot of time to figure it out yourself, or lose the chance to use some apps.






  • Better transport for sure. And its just a few days out of the year you may be out in “two feet of fresh snow.” However proper winter gear and caution can still be manageable for a lot of folks even in the few days of harshest of conditions like the one you mentioned.

    Fat bike tires, or winter studded tires can help in the case of severe winter weather. Dressing in good layers. Advocating for people biking conditions in your city.

    The money you save will be able to be put into better gear, and maybe a Canadian E-Bike. And there is also the lives you are saving to thank yourself for. Including your own health with free exercise – you may be able to cancel your gym membership.

    Your city may likely have bike trails worth exploring for alternative safe and quicker routes. And a good durable bike would be a good way to go explore them.

    It might even save you time to get to work.

    I don’t know much about it. I tried using it to set it up with Epic Games. There was a lot more manual work than say Heroic or Lutris, but all was able to be done through a UI.

    I needed to select my dependencies of C# versions, C++ versions, XInput software, Direct X version, various other stuff. This was done within a single bottle, so I’m guessing they’re separate from the others.

    To be honest, I managed to get Epic Games running, but had trouble signing it. Not sure what else I was missing.

    It also lets you take snapshots of your Bottles state. And provides you with a Task Manager, command line, Registry Editor, Windows compatibility versions (e.g., 10 or 11), toggle OBS screen capture, gamescope, Wayland (experimental), other graphic stuff,

    Its got Launchers for many things, like also: Battle. Net, Enlisted, EVE, FL Studio, AutoDesk, Guild Wars 2, MEGA sync, Origin, PlayStation Plus, QOBUZ, Star Citizen, Ubisoft Connect, Wargaming. NET (World of Tanks, Warplanes, Battleships), the GOG Galaxy official launcher.

    They show the ratings for the various launchers from within the app, to show its score for compatibility.
