oh dang, that changes everything

luckily its just VSCode, so I didnt have to install something thats too hard!

this, people who are afraid of new things won't pick something thats too different to windows

thank you for your very well thought out comment, and I do know about the GPL, I use it myself in my projects (AGPL for my neocities website and GPL3.0 for some of my other projects), the GPL is a very good license to your most important projects and I never skip it, I only use like BSD/MIT/CC0 for stuff that I dont really care that much about, also I love Britain its a wonderful country, cheers! also good luck!

I'll look into it, thanks a bunch!

for us mint always asks for it, so if you dont type it, it'll just not install it, idk tbh

true but then they have to know the sudo password to install such apps, unless the teachers, the principal or me tell them that, I doubt they'll be successful but hey you do still raise a good point and I shall probably discuss this with the principal

thanks a lot!

they are newbies, who are accustomed to windows, I doubt they'll know how to get games on linux yet, however they might figure it out if they learned how, and thats lowkey also good cuz they get to know how to use the OS

ahhhhh okay yeah I agree, my friend (who is also a long time linux user as much as I am one as well) does complain a bit about word processing apps on linux and I quote "basic word processing works alright on linux with libreoffice and onlyoffice, but once you put advanced stuff in it, its a bit difficult to work with", he seemed to have problems with docx files (iirc) so he has a windows VM where he uses MS office for stuff that he is required to work on, and continue to use linux for everything else.

thanks man, you're a real bro too!

I choose mint cuz it was approachable to newbies so yeah, I myself run opensuse (and used to run arch/void)
