I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there's always something that doesn't work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven't been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there's always something that's broken in every distro.

I'm sorry I'm just venting, do you people think Ubuntu will work for me? I think I will try it next.

True, but most of the fixes are super dumbed down (for the audience).

I told my sibling to search up how to download an image and set it as a background (you can search it up if you want to see if you get the same results) and I get stupid ass articles telling me to download the windows photo app on my phone and sign in with Microsoft photos or some shit and sync it to my signed in Windows desktop and set it as a background photo. Wtf is that?

For context, my sibling is on Ubuntu and the basic steps are pretty much the same on both Windows and Ubuntu: save image as, then right click on file and set as background.

In firefox, you can even just right click an image from the web and set it as the background directly.

That's pretty cool. We're both using firefox based browsers (librewolf) so I gotta check that out

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
