The irony is lost on you.

Guess you’re just a free corporate hoe after all. I feel sorry for you. Not even getting paid to lick those boots clean.

They do even better - they sell the idea of privacy. Then they’re free to double dip.

Or triple dip if selling in a place like China.

We get it, you’re paid by Apple.

Or, I hope someone sucking corporate cock like you do is getting paid at least,.

High af explains why it’s called antigravity

But Russia is West of the USA

It was the GPU, but yeah Cachy also looked nice (of what I could see). I especially like the Limine bootloader.

Yup.

Maybe still repairable because it at least can give an image? But it’s some pins on the card

Solved

It’s the GPU hardware that was the problem 😭. This post can be closed.

Credit to Clearwater who figured out the real issue early on.

Currently trying CachyOS - it’s also still blurry, but the installer is currently also blurry similar to Garuda. That said Cachy does at least look much better and offered more option, and will install a CPU microcode which I’m hoping will fix some issues.

Also it’s a bit less blurry if I change the setting in my monitor to “aspect”.

I just hope it’ll work well at it’s installed. At least the live iso is running much faster as well.

What was the reason? I remember Pop looks pretty nice.

I’ve had issues when I used to use Mint (from mucking around with dependencies and such granted, and python environments) but I’m short on time so I’ll probably try it next. KDE usually looks nicer and controls peripheries better (like screen brightness).

From my experience Bazzite is the easiest to use system for gaming on Linux, but I can’t install it.

I tested Garuda, but even the Mokka edition I know my friend won’t like the aesthetic of, and although it works, for some reason on my monitor it only shows 720p resolution - I don’t know why. It even makes the bios go into 720p when it’s otherwise fine. But that could be because I have a 2k monitor.

I was going to gift them the PC tomorrow since they leave the country for December, so also running out of time. Willing to try other gaming focused systems too that are very beginner friendly (so no arch recommendations I think - and ideally something immutable)

I think it depends on whether you work on actual defense systems rather than assault systems.

Anti missile systems for example.

Yes but also no.

As in, it is based on Debian, but it’s kinda like how a zebra is a horse

If you have issues with mint, try something based on Debian or Fedora rather than Ubuntu like Mint is.

For Fedora I recommend Bazzite if you do gaming and nothing too technical. Flatpaks make it easy to find and install software without messing things up. Otherwise Fedora Kiinoite.

For Debian I recommend Debian itself really. Also runs very well on much older machinery.
