I have tried Linux as a DD on and off for years but about a year ago I decided to commit to it no matter the cost. First with Mint, then Ubuntu and a few others sprinkled in briefly. Both are “mainstream” “beginner friendly” distros, right? I don’t want anything too advanced, right?...
As a daily Fedora user, this is annoying. I totally support the push for open-source, but enabling RPM Fusion on new installs to do standard stuff is a royal pain in the butt that will immediately turn off new users.
I almost feel like this a somewhat pointless feature. It’s almost easier to just learn the default ones as opposed to adding “-modernbindings” or creating an “enano” variant/copy.
The only download software I used was the DownThemAll Firefox extension, which has always been real good. It works on all sites I’ve tried it with, it’s a very customisable interface, I don’t really know what you mean by not copy-pasting links but you don’t gotta do that.
You’re not likely to find an exact copy of the software for another OS, wine probably is your best bet if you just want IDM in Linux form.
For techy people, sure. But in 90% of cases, people moving from Windows are looking for as little a paradigm-shift as they have to endure. I’m sure most regular Linux-users wouldn’t disagree that other distros are cool, but telling someone “use this thing it’s literally nothing like anything you know” is not going to get many takers from the population of people who just want their tech to do everyday stuff.
Mainly that it’s specifically calibrated for running games on Linux. I’ve tried the Steam Deck and it works pretty damn well out the box, compared to any other distros, so a PC version would be cool.
Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

What is/was your distrohopping journey?
For me it was:...

Something as simple and as convenient to use as internet download manager...
