Linux noob here. In the YT vid, he browses the package manager and in the IRC clients, there was emptyness. Does this mean I have to manually download software I want to use or I can download it with the PiSi?
>not downstream Ubuntu
>new package manager
>budgie DE
do not want

Any other great looking Linux OS'es to try?
Whats the benefits new package manager, don't we already have too many of them?
>>54465255
There's Deepin

Xubuntu + plank dock gives me all I need. Maybe try Elementary if you want an OS focused on certain design principle?
>>54465220
Those are all good things though
Apt is shit and any DE that's based off of Ubuntu is inherently worse than Ubuntu. I'm only on Ubuntu now because it just werkz but I'd switch to Solus in a heartbeat.
Also, not that I'd be playing much games on my laptop as it is, how is steam on Solus? Heard mixed things

Elementary is trash. Should have just been an Ubuntu flavor
>>54465458
nicely memed
>>54465255
Deepin is nice.
>>54465031
It boots retardedly fast.

Yeah, good to hear. They said on their site they got an intel nuc to boot in like 1 second flat.
