Gnome is certainly the most polished. They just need to get over the ultra minimalism though, because it is completely non functional without installing a thousand extensions.
Why they aren’t bringing back the dock is beyond insanity though. 3 million+ people agree, the dock needs to come back along with the application and places drop-down like it was in gnome 2.
In November 2017, Brazile said in her book and related interviews that the Clinton campaign and the DNC had colluded ‘unethically’ by giving the Clinton campaign control over the DNC’s personnel and press releases before the primary in return for funding to eliminate the DNC’s remaining debt from 2012 campaign,
Grammatically it can be properly read either way, but I think you’re right that’s probably how they meant it.

The two PCs were identical hardware btw, so in my case Live just worked 10x better.
I’ve only recently switched to Debian after a couple decades with Ubuntu (because snaps) and I had a few issues during installation.
The net install failed to configure my wifi so I had to download the DVD/CD install. That worked but then I had to manually nano several config files to fix about 5 broken things for some reason.
I installed it recently on a different system, and went with the Live option (gnome) and it installed 10x easier and smoother than Ubuntu. It installed in about 4 minutes (on a new/fast computer).
So I would say Debian Live is VERY beginner friendly, but the other install methods are all messed up for some reason. Ubuntu’s default option is the Live option so I think that if Debian just kinda hid the other options on their website it would be 100% beginner friendly…
OH, INTERESTING INFORMATION. THANKS! ;)
why flatpaks? Aren’t they more insecure and bloated? They seem like the wrong direction for Linux.
I see - thanks for taking the time to explain the backstory, very interesting.
serious question… not everyone on Lemmy is a computer expert, lol
I don’t quite understand, why would Microsoft sue you for a lemmy comment?
what’s with the link in every comment? just curious
honestly Libreoffice is not on par with MS Office. I use MS at work and Linux at home and Libreoffice is great for general use, but it is very rough around the edges, and does not have all the capability that MS does. I wish it were not the case but lack of an excellent office suite is one weaknesses of Linux.
One option that doesn’t require any commitment is to just make a bootable usb drive that you can run to ‘test drive’ Linux. Ubuntu is probably the easiest for beginners to learn since there is so many forums online to look at when you have issues.
I use libre at home and MS at work, and hands down Libreoffice is terrible in comparison. It’s UI is harsh and doesn’t do 10% of what microsoft can do. As sad as that is to say.
Back in the early 2000s Open Office was actually better than MS for a brief period, but Libre isn’t really on the same level anymore.
