Comment on Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows
h0rnman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 hours agoThat seems like a great idea for a community. My only concern would be about distro-specific things. When you talk about “switching to Linux”, you’re really talking about “switching to the Linux kernel with about 1500 additional packages that form your actual experience”. The flexibility is the best part, but i know it can be daunting for the new user.
This is also where we get a lot of distribution fights and pedantic arguments - there’s a lot of ways to do things, and folks love to argue for their preferred method. What complicates things further is that the nuances are both important and irrelevant. There’s atomic vs traditional, deb vs rpm (and the seemingly hundreds of package managers), systemv vs systemd, gnome vs KDE, X vs Wayland, and even recently lutris vs heroic vs faugus, and each of those is fine to use but will force you to do things a specific way that could make certain edge cases difficult or impossible to manage.
Honestly, I’d love to see a comm like this, and I’d love to contribute, but it would be to be pretty heavily moderated to avoid a lot of the pointless arguments that would derail the conversions

Agreed, it would need a K.I.S.S. rule (Keep It Sweet and Simple), as for which distro, we could try having a single topic for voting the top 5 or 10 distros and a summary why. No need to over complicate it by doing each one. It might not be perfect, but it’ll be a start. ¯\(ツ)/¯

There used to be/probably still is a Subreddit called “Linux for Noobs” that could act as inspiration
