Where do you suggest newbies begin?
  • I feel like a 321 backup is kind of inhibitory specifically 2 different mediums. Hard disks are by far the cheapest and it seams a bit excessive storing your entire database on Ssd's or something like that.

  • Compatibility is the only real issue anymore (opinion/discussion)
  • Yeah there arn't many reasons not to switch to Linux but people still won't because they don't have any good reason to switch. People just don't seam to care about there privacy and the idea of open source or know why it's important. Although I'm hopeful that will change in the future

    Another reason is the idea of installing another os is intimidating for a lot of people most people buy a laptop or pc with windows pre installed and they just sign in and go the idea of changing installing an os seams to risky or like too much work. A good comparison is when I tried to convince some of my friends to use firefox one of them uses opera gx and he knows how terrible of a browser it is but he won't change because he doesn't want to move all his tabs. Another one just hated the name "firefox" for some reason.

  • Fedora and Linux Mint having no display output unless on safe graphics.

    For the first time I am actually switching my main PC from Windows to Linux.

    Problem: When booting into Fedora there was no display output, I changed it to safe graphics to install everything and that fixed it but after the install finished I tried turning it back off and there was still no display output

    What I have already tried: I've tried installing drivers and everything I could find although that shouldn't be the problem since I have an AMD 6700xt and Fedora comes with AMD drivers built in. I also tried Installing Linux Mint thinking maybe the distro was the problem but it came up with the same issue.

    And if anyone suggests it no there is no way I am going to daily drive on safe graphics.

    Edit: I am dual booting on a single 500gb ssd with windows already installed on the other half of the drive, not sure if that would be the problem. Also a similar problem was happening on windows if I left the screen in login for too long without signing in the display would show no signal and it wouldn't wake up if I moved my mouse or clicked or pressed any keys.
