    Never heard of it. What packaging system does Tribes use?

    I'm tempted to commit to pretending that "Tribes" is a Linux distro that we're all worried will gain too much popularity and hurt the ecosystem...

  • I wanted to interject about how "ecosystem" is a word only used for locked-in stuff like Apple and Google, but y'know what?

    THIS is a proper ecosystem. It is actually organic, made of independent moving parts, unlike the clockwork made by big tech, internal to each and to a large extent indivisible.

    *Except for beginners

    Try a beginner distro, and when you're done with the tutorial, go ahead and install your arches or nixes, IDC

    SteamOS was my tutorial and today I run Arch on my main system. But I like learning and I like the fact that I can build my own system and choose my own components. I understand that Arch is not for everyone but for me it's perfect.

    Also, fuck GNOME. When I tried Ubuntu in 2009 it was GNOME that made me hate Linux until I learned that KDE Plasma was a thing.

    Steamos is a great introduction... If you touch desktop mode of course.

    Personally I recommend Linux mint, or even KUbuntu or Cinnamon Ubuntu (gnome is not meant for windows refugees so better not show it yet)
