Still no spanning wallpapers. lol.

Dualboot and check what software they use. If you can get away with only Linux then you’re good. I personally always have a copy of windows available on a separate SSD in case I need it. Sometimes I take months on end without booting into it.

Absolutely. Good luck to you.

Use pika backup instead of timeshift. Pika is an actual backup tool that puts your files on any drive you tell it to use (including remote). Timeshift is a snapshots tool, it reverts things to a previous state, it doesn’t backup actual files and folders.

Oh, many people gave me shit for using caps lock, and the delay is a very well known issue on Linux in general. There are even a couple of fixes for it by some folks. Like this one. And even the archwiki has a workaround for it. It’s a major pain for me. lol

I don’t want copy paste buttons support, I want the caps lock delay to be fixed. Yes, I use the caps lock not shift, as my brain can’t get used to using shift for caps. I’m so tired of typing like THis all the time. 😂 (I’m using a hack currently that helps, but it would be nice if it gets fixed on Linux in general).

Gardiner’s thumbnails always look like those duck-face high school chicks from the 2000’s. He just needs to stick his tongue out in some of them and throw the peace sign next to his cheek.

To be honest, I don’t remember exactly, but I remember that I couldn’t ever log into my desktop anymore. I was stuck on the login screen. I tried x11 since I was on Wayland, and it just wouldn’t let me log back in. It was like the plasma session dies then spits me back into the lock screen. I can log in in a tty, but not through GUI. I remember reinstalling the whole plasma desktop with everything and I was still not able to log in. It was like it got possessed or something. lol. I want to go back so badly, but I’m scared. I’m at a point of my life where I just want my computer to work. I don’t want to run around fixing things, hence why I’m even thinking of an immutable distro.

I’ve pretty much run every distro under the sun. From arch to Gentoo to Debian and all of the middle ones. I then landed on endeavour OS and used it for around 3 years. It was great until it broke.

Every couple of months something breaks and I can never fix it. Nothing fixes it, even a timeshift restore. I just had to reinstall, and that was painful. I’ve then set out on a new hunt.

I’m now experimenting with Nobara OS as it is a better Fedora and comes with some goodies for gaming. It’s been ok so far besides this occasional random freezing that I can’t figure out. It goes away by either rebooting or switching to a tty and back to GUI. I’m still experimenting with it. If it works well, I’ll keep it, if not, my next experiment will be BazziteOS. I did try mint for a little bit, too, and liked it, but I wanted to explore more.

It’s ok. We teach our “morons”, not berate them. <3

LibreWolf strips Firefox of telemetry, adds privacy and security tweaks, disables Pocket, and ships with uBlock Origin by default. It’s basically Firefox with hardened defaults and no Mozilla connections.

If Firefox ever collapsed, libreWolf couldn’t continue independently long-term, they rely entirely on Firefox’s upstream codebase. They don’t maintain their own engine (Gecko), so they’d lose the foundation their browser is built on. It’d be the end unless a fork of Gecko emerged.

Understandable. I personally don’t really care that much to make a list about the flaws of a social media site (no judgement of course). I just coast along for a little bit and go back to reading my books.

100%. I’m relatively new to Linux and to the western world as a whole. 😅

How so?
