It's been around for a while, but last I heard anything was years ago.

I've only ever used the free version. It's okay, but I think Mint is a better transition between Windows and Linux. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] syreus@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago I've been using Nobara as my first distro for the past couple months. It's been braindead easy and I haven't had any issues aside from Steam Remote play refusing to work. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago Where have you been? Lol. Its been quite popular in Linux discussions I have seen around the COVID era. Started in 2009/2010 Used to have a suggested fee and you'd just type how much you wanted to pay, even $0. Looks like they now specifically set it into separate downloads , free for core version and money for preinstalled apps. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago Oh fuck off. You'll Luigi the open source people who offer a free OS designed for people unfamiliar with Linux but not Oracle or Microsoft CEOs? Surrrrrre. You harm the open source community far more than the average closed source marketer. Haven't even heard of a distro that's been around over a decade either? Poser permalink fedilink source parent
