I just wanted to say this is all very confusing. I barely installed Ubuntu on my laptop as a daily driver mostly due to the MS Recall debacle. It’s fine, it’s great. However, reading all the Linux Lemmy posts makes me feel like I’ll never understand. I know all these words and what they mean, just not in an OS context.
Think about it this way: going onto Linux communities and listening to what people say can be like listening to car mechanics chat.
But do you need to know what all of that stuff means to drive your car? Nah. But that info could come in handy, if you wanted to modify your car or something like that.
You don’t need to know what Wayland/X11, PipeWire, GTK4/Qt6, or anything like that is, in much the same way you don’t need to know what PowerShell, Event Viewer, NT kernel, or registry are to use Windows.
don’t worry. this probably isn’t for you… yet…
anyway, why did you install ubuntu??? who misguided you? you should have gone linux mint DE, mx linux, Fedora or something like that. Ubuntu was great… 15 years ago.
Sorry if I sound too hard… take it with a laugh 😁
😇do you know how to add repos to atp? That’s pretty important, or you may end up installing .dep manually, which I not recommend for people that want a OS that just works
