I happen to have an Asus laptop with an intel igpu (one of those flippy 2-in-1), and Fedora Workstation works for me since I like the look of GNOME. Fedora also has a KDE version if you prefer that. Keep in mind that Fedora uses “dnf” and “.rpm” instead of “apt” and “.deb”. Lots of people also like to use Mint (which is based on debian like Pop_OS) but I haven’t tested that with my laptop.

uh oh.

no, roads would be soft and nice!

Imagine if all roads were made of soft squishy stuff like rubber or carpet…one can only dream…

I think they are confusing Microsoft Edge (the browser) and Bing (the search engine). You can see the Copilot icon in the top right, so it’s probably the Edge browser.

they have an e/os version I think

Well those get taken down by the big corpos, not really the developer’s fault. Really, the fact that they are FOSS mean it’s much easier to fix issues as lots of different people can contribute, and where you mention apps that get taken down and formed again is only possible with FOSS apps (i.e. forks)

FOSS programs that don’t involve piracy are perfectly fine though (libreoffice, inkscape, kdenlive, linux, among many MANY others), they all work wonderfully

how can it both work by stealing stuff from the internet and not work? Does it work or not?

Why are there a bunch of elements with the same symbol? You can’t do that! Also, why do some of them have over 5 letters? It’s either one or two…they are also arbitrarily placed everywhere, maybe each group could be a different genre or topic? I am also bothered by the weird L shape, WHY???

I think it’s fine, with better compatibility with ms office files. LibreOffice is also great and is based in the EU I believe, so if you’re wary of the bear then that’s a great option.

The beauty of linux is there is options!

Different people prefer different things and you can freely choose between all the things!
