    I don’t even know how to write “hello world” in python but I use vanilla Arch XD

      If I recall correctly Arch has … ssh into wifey’s laptop … python installed out of the box.

      Run up a console and type python, and hit enter. Type in print (“Hello World”) and hit enter. There you go!

      If you lack a python: $ yay -S python.

      Same here, I work in the arts and can’t code a thing, but I use Arch (btw) as my daily driver.

      It was my first Linux distro after using Microsoft stuff for ages and let me tell you: it was a big mistake. It was absolutely confusing, had to use terminal for so many things with even msdos commands that I forgot that existed, broke it 3 times by just trying to automount the other drivers and a host of other things.

      End up switching to Linux mint and the transition went much smoother after that. I’m going back to it eventually though. I actually like it a lot.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
