Bro, if you start a quarterly newsletter preaching the glory of beans, I’m in.

That is incredibly true. I try to automate everything I can. That’s where laziness is a superpower.
That sounds pretty slick. I envy your scripting prowess. You really have to know your system top to bottom to be able to boil it all down like that.
I’m just beginning my journey into this whole space, and it’s really interesting how many different ways people have to deal with the same basic things.
I’m also incredibly lazy, so maybe more scripting is in my future! Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed reply!
I really like this strategy. I currently use proxmox for my home server needs, but I am curious what you use now instead?
I’ve found vibration sensing to be the easiest.
That’s what I was worried about. I’ll leave it be for now. If I do end up distro hopping, I’ll probably try out something I never have.
Honestly, it seems to me that there are far more tangible differences between desktop environments than actual distros.
Thanks for the reply. Seems I don’t have much to gain by making the switch. I do like that most questions I google come with Ubuntu answers that are relevant.
What are the actual differences between Ubuntu mint and Debian Mint? I’ve been using the former for a while now, but I just started exploring plain Debian (and kinda loving it). All this talk about Debian Mint is making me get the distro itchy foot.
Interesting! Looks pretty slick. Might be a nice stepping stone into that world. This chromebook is so old that it could be a perfect playground for this sorta thing. I don’t have any important files/apps or anything on it that I’m afraid of damaging or being without. Thanks for the suggestion.
After some serious googling, it looks like gestures is a feature that really only exists in the "luxury" DEs. There is something called Touchegg and Touche that can add them to others, but I'm not far along enough to know if it will do what I want it to.
I just tried debian with Xfce, and it's pretty fast, but I REALLY love using gestures! It makes my tiny screen feel way bigger.
I'll be honest, I'm a bit scared of Arch, but this might be the push I need to give it a go. What's the worst that happens?
Can you add trackpad gestures to Arch?
Hahah! This answer works for me, because I was unsure what db0 was. Now I hopefully learn two new acronyms
