Bazzite is the answer you search for. Learn the terminal & eventually get a grasp on why atomic distros are cool and you'll be okay. I was on windows for years & when I learned the terminal for that it was like I was giving God powers.

The only thing I'm trying to install linux on is my Raspberry Pi. Upon googling Bazzite, it doesn't seem to support Raspberry Pi.

Also, I've been trying to learn terminal off and on for 15ish years, with no luck. I've been trying to get the fan to work, unsucsessfully on my raspberry pi, for 4 years now. Apperently I have to compile some code......I don't know what that means.......

Compiling means that you take code then run that code trough a program that checks if the code works like intended. After that it will put out a binary/exe/whatever that you can work with further.

From wiki:

In computing, a compiler is a computer program that translates computer code written in one programming language into another language. The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a low-level programming language to create an executable program. There are many different types of compilers which produce output in different useful forms.

And I have no idea what that means.

How do you reboot? You click start>power>reboot.

I know what that means.

Ask me to compile a script? Uhhhhh.......

Open terminal > cd (command to change directory) into the directory where the code is that you want to compile > then run the compiler

In rust I would CD into the directory that I have written my code in. Let's say user/rust/projects/example1 with the command:

cd user/rust/projects/example1

Now every command I type will be executed on that directory. The tool I use is called "cargo" the command to compile is "build".

So with that information I type:

cargo build

While being in user/rust/projects/example1 and when I did everything right my Programm will compile and the result of that can be found in a folder in that project. Something like:

user/rust/projects/example1/build/prod

Hope that helps to give a overview of how the process is supposed to go when everything works without a problem.

The code is your ingredients, you put the ingredients together, then bake it (compile). When it's done you have a pie (a program you can execute and run).

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

A lot of people would rather just go to a store and buy a pie.
