Didn't even think of that. Went to a small town school so we didn't have cops or security.

Idk how much the school landscape has changed since I was last in school, but back when I was in school people would break their school assigned chromebooks just for shits and giggles. I can't imagine that tv will last for long.

Wayland isn't even adopted by every desktop environment yet. xfce, cinnamon, mate, lxqt, and all the ancient window managers all use x11, and all have their users.

If it works on xwayland, chances are it won't be switched for a long time.

Devuan. If you need stable, and you like runit, thats the easiest option.

Debian isn't unsecure because security updates for packages are still received.

Personally, I use PassWord123! for everything. It says its a strong and secure password so why wouldn't I use it for everything?

For most people it is literally:

1.Install steam 2.Change the setting so proton is used on all games 3.Download/install game 4.Play

I guess there might be difficulty setting up lutris and drivers but that's something a search on your search engine of choice can fix, or even just asking here.

Immutable distro...yeah I'm good.

• Updates inevitably lead to things breaking sometimes. If you want to avoid things breaking as often, using something stable (like Debian) would help.

• The benefits you are describing are probably because of KDE vs Gnome and not a distro thing.

• Fedora does things differently than Ubuntu/Debian (mainly package management, but there are other small things). Because of this, noobs & intermediate users alike will get frustrated at things "not being how they are supposed to be"

All that said, if Fedora works for you, keep on using it. I daily drove it for about a year before switching to other things.

This was a post about infrastructure.

If you are doing any downloads (especially torrents) you should be using a VPN.

1. Your ISP will usually send a letter telling you to stop, in some cases they've been known to cut peoples service.
2. Free vpns sell your data and usually have caps, but would probably prevent you from getting letters in the mail.
3. What is cheaper? A vpn account or paying for 2-3 streaming services?
4. I use a nordvpn account I bought from a reseller. Back when I got it nordvpn was still pretty good, but idk how people feel about it nowadays.

I played with linux a bunch between 2014-2019 but I was not ready for the commitment of learning a new operating system. In 2020, I started to get annoyed at how bad windows 10 was getting, and at some point I saw the insider previews of windows 11 and put my foot down.

I fully switched to linux in 2021, I started with a brief spell of manjaro. I hated it.

2022 I had alot going on in my life and didnt use a computer very much at all because I did not have internet access.

Towards the very end of 2022 I moved and got a laptop which I put Fedora on. I used this daily until the first half of 2023

Sometime mid 2023 I switched to opensuse and I used that for a few months before finally switching over to Debian which I still use now.

I've come to the conclusion that I prefer LTS distros. I very rarely need new software besides for maybe WINE, but I can get that from the winehq website easily enough so its not a big deal. If I could get drivers to play nice out of the box, I would unironically put alma linux on my laptop and run it the full 10yrs.

If they want to game, can't commit to only playing steam games, and can't learn how to use lutris, have them stay on windows. Linux will never live up to their expectations.
