Noooooob here: As title said - I don’t know what distro I should choose. My needs are student stuff like Libreoffice & Videoconferences but also creative things, photo-management and cutting videos. Does it matter at all? Do I have to check for every single program I use or is there a distro that is recommended?
I was planning on getting a Tuxedo with Tuxedo OS, but my neighbour recommended another “no os”-seller and now I’m not sure. I was opting for Tuxedo mainly because of the support since I’m leaving windows after many years^^
(Picture shows the lilac and blueish ports that we had for mouse and keyboard back “in my days” with the words “How old are you” - “Me:” on top - just because this community semmingly requires a picture added)
Slackware, just for shits and giggles. I guess I’m old.
Alt text. Picture is a AT keyboard jack.
Like slackware, that port somehow survided, only the keyboard changed.
This was a bit before my time, but while I’ve heard “AT keyboard jack,” I’ve always heard them called five-pin.
“The DIN connector is an electrical signal connector that was standardized by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), the German Institute for Standards, in the mid 1950s, initially with three pins for mono, but when stereo connections and gear appeared in the late 1950s, versions with five pins or more were made.”… …“In consumer electronics, the cylindrical connectors were adopted for analog audio signals.[3] Some DIN connectors have been used in analog video applications, for power connections, and for digital interfaces, such as the MIDI (DIN 41524), the IBM PC keyboard and the IBM AT keyboard connectors (DIN 41524).”
