I like GNOME. It’s very consistent, has very few bugs, and stays out of my way when I just need to get shit done.

Only if they’re trying to completely kill their own project lol.
Flatpak seems quite nice now days
Yep. I basically always use the same one. So it’s beat to hell, but it works fine. It was a pretty cheap one to begin with.
None. I just use a kitchen knife and wash it afterwards.
My point was that there’s way easier versions of Linux to use than Debian. Using Debian has a learning curve associated with it that’s more difficult than simply using their website.
If you can’t figure out something as simple as how to navigate their website, you probably shouldn’t be using Debian as a distro anyway.
Better to avoid 3 k’s where possible.
If you’re on desktop, try using Claude 2 instead. I’ve had a much better experience so far. Much less repetitive in its responses. I like the way it breaks down answers with bullet points.
Yeah because they refuse to work with the open source community lol. Don’t care how great their stuff is if they’re borderline openly hostile towards Linux.
Who in the Linux community would say anything positive about NVIDIA?
EndeavourOS is my preference. I appreciate that they don’t really modify the Arch experience in any annoying way. Manjaro seems to always break shit. Plus the EOS forums are amazing.
It’s not just the AUR, but that’s part of it. Every time I use Debian, I’m shocked by how difficult it is to install any proprietary software. I tried to make it easy on myself by installing Flatpak, but even that didn’t seem to work on my system for some reason. I’m sure it was a fixable problem, but I just found myself fighting it more than I liked. The Arch wiki is also incredible and has been a great help when I’ve encountered similar issues over there.
I actually find it to be quite a bit easier to use than Debian. I do think the Arch spookiness is way overblown. It shouldn’t be your first Linux distro, but I think it’s fine once you get bored with the Linux Mints and Ubuntus of the world.
Yep you nailed it. The AUR with yay allows you to turn GitHub into your system’s package manager basically. Definitely not recommended for most users, but if you’re cautious and know what you’re doing, it’s an amazing addition to your toolkit.
I make a list of all the ones I like. Then when I feel my system is getting too bloated, I wipe and reinstall while only installing the packages from my list.
It’s very “low tech,” but it’s always worked out well for me.
There was never any point. Find your own meaning and don’t give up.

Debian 12 uses Wayland by default.
