    You’re compiling from source. Not average unless you’re in a see of gentoo

    Also what’s your specs, 6GB RAM?

    Also you can ask rustc to use less cores, just takes longer…

      The program I’m installing (rustdesk) has a pre-compiled version but it’s not working for me on Wayland, that’s why I’m trying to compile from source to see if it work yeah that’s not average experience because most Linux’s programs nowadays already have a pre-compiled version but if the pre-compiled not working the next best thing is to try to compile it yourself, my ram is 8GB 2GB is for the GPU and it’s not upgradeable

        It helps not having a computer with specs from a decade ago.

    If you don’t compile everything from source, you may as well buy a Chromebook.

    I wouldn’t call compiling from source the average experience these days.

    Most software is gonna be in the distro repositories or as a flatpak/snap/appimage.

      This time I’m trying to use Linux without relying on Flatpak or AppImage, why? I don’t know XD

        Or your distros repositories? I just think OP calling this “average” sends a bad message - I didn’t compile much stuff from source in 2007, and I don’t now either.

      AUR.

      But most programs compile within 2 minutes on my shitty laptop anyway. And it’s automated.

    Boh, my average experience is “apt install foo”. Let’s not perpetuate myths.

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.
