I don't think I even own a laptop that would work with a CRT nowadays.

Didn't you love it when your screen locked and the full screen app had control over your keyboard and mouse!

In a sense I wouldn't berate coworkers and family for smoking and drinking stating facts about the detriment to their health every chance I get. I'd lend a hand when they need me the most, when they've looked in the mirror long enough, when they are looking for change.

It's a fact I've come to realize some people don't want to change others have a limit they reach before they can change. If your always there to help when they need it, the outcome will almost always be better.

I don't like being told what's best for me or what I should be doing as much as the next guy so I don't really bring it up unless they ask.

Using kde with Nvidia on Wayland. About the only thing I struggled with but it's an incredibly annoying bug kde hasn't fixed in a couple years now.

The gnome team goes above and beyond when it comes to Nvidia support. They were the first to support Wayland on Nvidia and they're one of the first to support explicit sync.

The interface is just annoying to use and work around. Using little hacks and extensions are annoying too, especially when they break.

Honestly still using the half finished hyprland build for games, studying, and work. If somethings missing then I fix it or simplify stuff I do all the time otherwise it's largely stock and janky. I'd say it's better than my taskbar freezing in kde or gnome. We don't have to talk about how annoying gnome is to use daily.

I get why people do it. I just hate the proposition of throwing out a perfectly good computer that's potentially upgradable and certainly more repairable compared to a Mac.

Ask anyone who had their Mac break and the answer is usually it can't be fixed get a new one. Their hardware feels nice but reducing e-waste is a high priority in my book. MacBooks in particular don't have a great track record for longevity when heavily used, most cheap laptops don't.

An interprise computer designed to be repaired would always be a better option for professionals and individuals alike but even better is one that you already own.

Really wish people gave Linux a fair shot instead of considering a $3,000 notebook from Apple. Maybe it's mostly journalist that talk about it every time Microsoft fucks up.

I wonder if some distros disable it for some reason.

Honestly never used tutorial videos. That sounds like a horrible way to learn. So slow and filled with unexplained steps you have to hunt for to understand.

Just follow the wiki it takes like 20min to an hour to get to the desktop based on your comfort and experience with computers. Like 10 minutes if you know what your doing, five minutes if you just want a basic system that boots and connects to the internet.(No desktop).

I used kde on my arch system hassle free for years, I really don't get the stereotype. If you constantly tinker with your system I get it but that's true for any Linux system. I also thought having to role a package back was a rare but unique problem for arch until I had to do it on Debian and fedora.

I learned arch out of necessity because at the time no other distro would install on my desktop thanks to poor support for Nvidia graphics and fedora being fedora broke almost instantly after the installer.(I've always had bad luck with fedora) I'd say you really have to live with arch to understand how painless it is to use daily.

I probably would have liked fedora if it didn't brick it's self after a fresh install on my system. I just can't figure out what was making it not boot, I suspect it has something to do with selinux.

I never ran into one in the wild. Where are you running into snobs?

Yeah, for a while I didn't realize auto complete was as simple as installing bashcompletion. Doesn't help if the file doesn't exist though.
