When you’re moving to Linux, your first experience matters a lot. If you feel limited, if you don’t understand what you’re doing, or if you have to spend hours researching what to do to make stuff work, you’re going to have a bad experience, and that’s why choosing your distro is a every important step.

Microphone: amzn.to/2PsNWXl
GPU: amzn.to/2LHZ5o5
Motherboard: amzn.to/2KZt63t
CPU: amzn.to/2IFjKrw
Your use case will define what you need to install. What you need to remember is:
With that out of the way, we can boil down your choice to 2 factors:
Desktop environments:
GNOME is the one that ships by default on most distributions, including the biggest one, Ubuntu. GNOME is very simple, sleek and minimalistic. It’s really easy to handle once you’ve spent 5 minutes with it. It can be customized using extensions, but these aren’t always super stable. GNOME is the default for Ubuntu, Fedora, and a GNOME variant is also shipped by almost all distributions.
KDE or Plasma is the second big one. it offers customization options for almost everything. From the position of the panel, the widgets you want to add to it, the whole layout of the desktop, the behaviour of the windows, the position of the window controls, everything can be adjusted to your liking. KDE is the default on KDE Neon, its flagship distribution, and KDE variants are available for most major distros.
Now you get many smaller desktop environments.
Cinnamon is the pendant of KDE, but using GNOME-like technologies and applications. Its default layout is also very close to wht you’d get on Windows, but it can be changed to your liking easily.
XFCE is a lightweight desktop environment, which might not look as good by default as the big ones, but is still very easy to customize, and runs on lower end machines without a hitch.
Mac users might prefer Pantheon, which ships on elementary OS, and uses a layout reminiscent of OSX, with a similar dock and top bar, minus the global menu.
You can also use MATE, which is using the same technologies as GNOME, but with a more traditional desktop behavior, or Budgie, which is a derivative of GNOME as well, with its own notification center and more customization options.
If your PC is not that fast, I’d recommend XFCE, although KDE can run pretty well with little system resources as well.
The distribution
Ok, so now you’ve chosen the desktop environment you want to go with. Now you need to decide which distribution you’re going to get.
GNOME:
If you’ve chosen GNOME, and you want stability, your options are either Ubuntu LTS, which has a very stable base, but older software, or Fedora, if you’d rather avoid proprietary software. If you’re allergic to the Ubuntu Orange, Zorin OS is also a very good choice, it uses the same base as Ubuntu LTS, but has tweaks that make it look a lot more modern, in my opinion.
If you’ve chosen GNOME and want the latest software versions and updates, you can go with Manjaro GNOME edition. It’s what we call a rolling release: this means it doesn’t have “versions”, it’s just continually updated with the latest software as they come out.If you want a healthy middle ground between stability, and up to date programs, go for the latest Ubuntu release. ubuntu has long term support releases, OR LTS, but it also has a new version every 6 months.
Pop!OS would also be a nice contender
KDE
If you’ve chosen KDE, the stable choice is KDE Neon. It’s a distribution based on Ubuntu LTS, so it’s rock solid, and has the latest KDE Plasma updates as a rolling release.If you’d prefer a more bleeding edge system all around, go for Manjaro KDE, or the latest Kubuntu release
Cinnamon
If you’ve elected to use Cinnamon, your stable option is Linux Mint. It’s also based on Ubuntu LTS, and has the latest Cinnamon updates. It’s customizable, simple to use, and won’t die or crash on you.Once again, the less stable route will be Manjaro Cinnamon
XFCE
XFCE has less choices, but you can get a very stable one in the form of Xubuntu, the XFCE based Ubuntu variant. Zorin OS Lite also offers a very good looking XFCE.Manjaro XFCE will give you a great, bleeding edge experience.
Pantheon
Your only real choice for Pantheon is elementary OS. elementary OS developers actually develop Pantheon as well, and they ship it in a beautiful package.

Ce thread explique que laisser pousser la végétation en ville, comme dans la vidéo, n'est pas juste une erreur ou un abandon, mais une pratique réfléchie pour favoriser la biodiversité, réduire les coûts et mieux gérer l'entretien.

The US-run Gaza Humanitarian Foundation ( #GHF), a so-called humanitarian group is a death trap for the starving Palestinian people.
More than 1800 have been murdered.

AI’s latest feat: Depleting drinking water sources around Illinois, Midwest
Amount of water that’s being withdrawn for a single data center development is unknown because secrecy agreements between government bodies and companies keep this information from being publicly disclosed.

Question: Do people rename their photo taken from their camera/phones from IMG20250717101350.jpeg to something else? And would they find it useful to display it on the main photo grid view of a Photos app?
As far as I know, neither the macOS, iOS, Android nor Windows photos app display this information on their grid view.
I personally find the automatic sorting by location, time or faces much more useful to navigate a photo album.
Got a photo album with thousands scanned material from 1900 to now, I rename all to YYYYMMDD_hhmmssmillisec
I simply hate when phone use prefix IMG_ or VID_; mimetype is a thing, no need to annunce the data type in the filename...
I also hate how Signal/WhatsApp/Messenger and all this apps are renaming photos, destroy original filenames and flush the Exif of the photos. Really inferior way to share photos but so common...
I made bash script here to reconstruct Exif and rename photos.
Btw, if someone is interested by my Bash script, I uploaded it here: invent.kde.org/-/snippets/3523
Around line 175 there is a long list of common gibberish that digital camera and apps input in filenames collected over 20 years (like DSC_***, ***_BURST, ***_HDR, IMG_***, etc... ).
