Compatible issues on desktop environment level? This is the first time I ever hear about that.
Tried switching to KDE Plasma and then OpenCV broke because of outdated QT version or some shit. Same with another distro. And I couldn't install two versions at the same time.
It's all fun until you get dependency conflicts.
Bro. I think you would benefit from sticking to Chrome OS.
That's a great insult, I love it :D
Nice comeback when you get evidence of how a different DE breaks software compatibility.
It's clear that this is a forum of people that only install Linux to open their terminal and type neofetch.
Fair, that reply above is not helpful at all. I mean yeah, I have had my fair share of dependence hell as well. Mostly when trying to install an external deb package. I know how to prevent it nowadays but it ain’t user friendly at all.
Also I would be hesitant to use Linux as a workstation. If I had the luxury of time I would for ideological reasons alone. But I don’t have that kind of time. Troubleshooting can become costly when you get paid by the hour.
Depends on what you do, most of the deep-learning world and scientific computing is based on Ubuntu. And not just Ubuntu but currently 22.04. Even upgrading the distro can bring compatibility conflicts.
I have a massive hate boner for development on Windows for things such as the \ in the paths and needing to install a 10gig IDE to do cpp development. Or they tell you WSL "just works" while it doesn't "just work" because it can't cv2.imshow your images because there's no X11 passthrough etc.
