I think Elementary OS does what you suggest (Pantheon DE). It’s very focused on simplicity and accessibility.

It’s good, but not comparable to Premiere or Resolve. I’d compare it to Vegas maybe.

Fabianism

I really, REALLY wish the Affinity suite would work on Linux. They are the only ones even remotely comparable to Adobe.

I don’t know about fitgirl specifically, I don’t actually pirate a lot of games.

How is it possible that it draws 100W at idle? What is it even doing?

“They can tell” implies "they can speak“

That… isn’t what that phrase means in English. I assume you’re new to the language?

Oh nice, I’ll give this a shot! I tried installing the EA app through Lutris — it worked, but I can’t install any games.

I use CachyOS on my gaming rig and it has been outstanding. The only ting that doesn’t work is the EA app.

After using Proton for a couple years I’ve come around to the POV that private email is a dead end. There was not a single occasion where the sender or recipient of any email was also using encryption. If I want encrypted comms I use Signal. Instead of Pass I went back to using Bitwarden.

The combination of AI, crypto wallet and CEO’s pro-MAGA comments (all within six months or so!) are why I quit Proton. They’ve completely lost the plot. I just want a reliable email service and file storage.

Pretty rich coming from Proton, who shoved a LLM into their mail client mere months ago.

The word “agrivoltaics” tickles the solarpunk-loving part of my brain so much.

I use Arch derivatives for all my computers but my media server runs Ubuntu Server because it’s low maintenance. For storage I use a USB 2x HDD docking station (one of those where you just stick the HDD upright in it).

You can do that, or you can install Cachy or Bazzite and not have to take any extra steps, not to mention if you need to you have community support from people who are overwhelmingly using it for the same purpose as you rather than greybeards who never leave emacs. I’m not anti-Debian, but for a first-time Linux gamer it really isn’t a great recommendation.

I uses PopOS for a while and liked it a lot, but I’m so used to Arch-based distros that I don’t think I can go back. I may use Cosmic as me DE once it’s out of beta, though.

I doubt s76 will push an update until Cosmic is out of beta, let alone alpha.

Welcome! Based on the GPU I assume you’re into gaming, and Debian is not the optimal distro for that because it’s focused on stability and is not as up-to-date as other distros. Personally I use CachyOS (based on Arch) on my gaming PC and it works very well. Bazzite (based on Fedora) is another popular gaming distro. If you really prefer Debian you may also want to look at PopOS, which is based on Ubuntu, which is itself based on Debian. You can by all means use Debian if that’s what you really want, but there’s a good chance you’ll run into issues that wouldn’t appear with distros designed for gaming.
