It took me a while to realize those were computer monitors.
Clean your fucking screens, that shit is disgusting 🤢
Well that was rather rude. Look closer, I’m pretty sure it’s just the wallpaper they’re using.
It’s the wallpaper the live USB chose for me. But to be fair I did make an open invite for judgements of my choices. I couldn’t foresee it looking like smudges. The jittery .gif file didn’t help.
I thought they were floor tiles. And he was installing smart ones…
Year of the Linux floor tile!
Rread that as one of the years from infinite jest
I’m too high to work out wtf is going on right now.
It took me a minute. Turn the image 90° anticlockwise. Then it’s easier to see it’s an image of portions of two vertically stacked monitors with the Ubuntu Studio logo on the bottom one and part of the install dialog on the top.
The gif is actually rotated correctly. The installer just didn’t know which monitor was my primary or how they were oriented.
You and me both.
I don’t get it
They are setting up Ubuntu Studio on their system.
Ubuntu 🤮
Ubuntu studio mfrs!!
TBH I’ve always found it a bit too bloated for my use more than half the programs on there didn’t get any use. But good on ya!
I suspect it will be the same for me. What software were you using most on it?
Ah man this was back in the early 2000’s so I’m not sure it’s still representative.
I mostly used rosegarden, hydrogen and either audacity or ardour iirc. (This was when I was still discovering pc recording)
I tried a live version recently and I didn’t really get the that I’d experience recent versions differently though.
I have also considered AV Linux. Do you have any thoughts on it?
I use mx and I’m very happy with it so far. Current AV is based on MX so I think I can recommend it.

Do those monitors have a touch display? Cause holy moly those prints lol.
Pretty sure that’s just the wallpaper.
Oh lol, if that’s the case then it got me good.
That’s funny. It was just the default installer wallpaper from the USB I made a while ago.
It fooled everyone.
Judge my choices.
Why? You’re an Ubuntu user – you’re suffering enough as it is
I haven’t settled in yet. I’ll probably switch.
Not to worry, there’s something to mock no matter what distro you choose 🥰
Slackware. Go!
No, my mom taught me we should respect the elderly.
if it works, don’t feel the need to switch. whatever the nerds are insisting is best usually probably doesn’t serve the more average person too well 😅 ubuntu is as good as it gets for 99% of users, downvote me!
Canonical gets shit canned by a lot of people, you can look up why but it’s mainly unpopular snap (slow/forced upon ye) and Canonical being a shit. I mean I’d personally rank flatpak dead last under snap because of rancid permissions issues, but whatever.
If you end up liking the Debian soul however, you got a lot of options :) Personally I only really care about the repo being well stocked and up to date whatever the distro.
So far I ran into difficulty installing software because of missing dépendances but it didn’t state what they were.
My path was Fedora (dnf) to CachyOS (pacman) so I’ll not be much help with Debian apt package manager shenanigans. Probably you can solve whatever that issue is with the Ubuntu “package name” (saying what it is specifically will help) followed by “missing dependencies” in a web search.
Might only need to run the system update 1st:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Then try your problematic package again (or wait for a Debian wizard to chime in). Maybe your iso was outdated or something.
Distro hopping is a right of passage ‘round these parts. 😁
I am, but it has nothing to do with what distro you chose.
Me too, me too
I judge your monitor setup favorably
Do whatever you want, as long as you put your home directory in its own partition.
ohh
Clean your screen.
I’d say it’s fine. I don’t know what you actually do with your computer but CachyOS or Bazzite could also work (and I guess they are the most hip distro these days).
