I’m assuming the majority of posts are slop now, there are a couple of dedicated opensourceai subreddits, I would prefer such a thing existed here as well, with a blanket ban in this one.
It seems like only yesterday…
I only use mutable linux systems, otherwise they never shut up.
Your struggle is very real.
Off course being an ignorant makes someone wrong.

That isn’t user error, that is very deliberate opt in as default, knowing that most people are zombies.
Opted out should be the default, those who wish to use ai should have to opt in, but also lose their right to vote, breed, or drive.
The issue with it is that most people don’t ever look in their settings.
When I first looked into linux, I found heaps of recommendations for ubuntu, mint, zorin, pop, and fedora, but none of them seemed right (for various reasons), so I distrohopped until I found something that made sense. It’s easy enough if you use ventoy, and if you have a spare drive, or even enough space on a drive to make some 50GB (ish) ext4 partitions. Even easier if using 2.5" sdd’s since you can very easily disconnect your windows drive to avoid potential weirdness.
I don’t use da vinci resolve, it doesn’t sound linux friendly, aside from on rocky os (which I know nothing about)

The usual option is to look for alternatives to da vinci, such as kdenlive. Alternatives are not always of interest, or considered viable for some users of course.
windows and brave… win you do not.
It would be great if ai off was the default, but I definitely appreciate have the option to turn that crap off.
Don’t use windows, problem solved.
I distrohopped to end up with it a few years ago, and distrohopped again this year, it’s still the only one that ticks the boxes for me. Never had any issues with it, on 3 systems.
amd zen 6 was mentioned, this is the 1st time I have seen it mentioned for a while, so I did a web search and straight away… ai bollocks, which is also the 1st thing you see when you go to their website.
the pc I am writing this on is all amd, and given the choice out of amd, intel, or nvidia, the choice would still be amd, but I would rather a decent choice existed, one from a different country would be a good start.

just human things…
manjaro, unless you can’t handle the plethora of meme type people telling you it is terrible, and downvoting you as if they have a point. It is the logical entry point if you want an arch base. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=manjaro
garuda is also decent, some of their versions are over the top shiny, but mokka, and kde lite are much easier on the eye. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=garuda
bluestar might also interest you, I have it installed, but haven’t looked into it much yet. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=bluestar
Even when I was back on windows, my data was always stored on a separate physical drive, I do the same now on linux, and will never understand why anyone would choose to store the 2 on the same drive (unless they only have 1 drive).
I didn’t use ‘my documents’ and I don’t use ‘home’ either. No doubt there are some benefits to doing so though.
Agreed, distro hopping is the best way to find what you like, and learn along the way, but if a distro isn’t easy to install, it isn’t for newbies, or for me a few years in.
