I'd never realized how many apps are Linux-exclusive until now

I've been considering switching back to Windows for some time, partly to see how it's gotten first-hand, partly because Deltarune Chapter 5 is coming out this year and I wanna make sure I don't bump into compatibility issues on my blind playthrough.

So, out of curiosity, I've begun checking out how to download my preferred apps on Windows. Surely a Windows build will be available on Github, or at least there will be build instructions, right?

Well it turns out I couldn't be more wrong. Most of those awesome apps you find on Flathub are Linux-only. Tambourine Music Player? That thing with the most boombastic UI known to man? Linux-only. Found another cool music player, Amberol. Also Linux-only. Foliate? The cool-ass epub reader that even lets you download stuff from online catalogs? Linux-only. Lutris? "Of course it's Linux-only", I hear you say. "Its whole purpose is running Windows games on Linux". And you're right, but it's also a great way to gather all your emulated retrogames in one place. The list goes on and on.

Everyone says Linux's main problem is the lack of native apps compared to Windows. Today I found out that Windows also lacks apps compared to Linux, but since it's not big professional software like Photoshop, no one talks about it.

Setting Up Linux Classroom

Hi all. I’m a High School Comp Sci and Cyber teacher and we’re playing with the idea of making our lab linux machines instead of windows. I was originally thinking mint bc that was my first distro but think I’ll end up using bazzite as an easy out of the box immutable system for better security and can be used for fun game days. It’s my daily driver at home but am open to other ideas!

My question is this: Are there any good management systems like active directory for linux? Ideally I can push updates or installs for all machines at once which I’ve heard PXE boot is good for, but I’m not sure if it’s possible to have a system where the student’s linux login works on any of the machines and pulls their files? We have the money to host that info on a server and they mostly use google accounts anyways so it wouldn’t take up much storage. Thanks for any help

BASH - ZSH

im a linux newb - im trying the flavours to see what i like: just trying out zsh and the autocomplete is kinda handy! save me typing as much:


to the more experienced with either bash or zsh - share your opinions, id love to learn.

what are benefits of either?

as someone who uses a pc to browse, game and thats about it does it even matter?

this is not asking for support as i am able to use - just more opinions and pros and cons!

i use a 15 yr old hp pavillion running arch
