The issue I find with the surface is that it just isn’t lapable. Using it on my lap is nearly impossible. Good on a desk though.

I have been using terminal almost exclusively for about a decade or more. But, when I started I just decided to do it. And that meant that every time I wanted to do something, it would take me forever because I would have to look it up. Eventually, I got faster and faster and now anything I want to do with a gui, I can almost certainly do faster with terminal.

I have used a number of distros over the last 15 years. Once I found one I liked, I stuck with it. I understand the package manager, some of the special features of the distro I use and I don’t really have time to relearn this every couple of months on new distros.

If I want a different “feel”, I change my DE. But that’s about it.

Lol that is what you said. My bad. Must have read it wrong. That’s on me.

That is true. But I have an overall better experience getting KDE to look like gnome.

I started on gnome. I love it at first, but as time has gone on my experience with gnome had gotten worse and worse, and my KDE experience keeps getting better. It’s a real shame because I actually tend to prefer the gnome look at feel, but KDE has been so much more usable for me in recent years.

I love Fedora. But, part of my day job is also managing linux servers. I tend to recommend things that I think are the easiest to get running. Although Fedora is super easy to get running (at least to me), I find the installation process of mint or pop os to be much easier overall. Between those two OSes, I have moved several people from windows to fulltime linux and I’m not entirely sure that the conversion would have been as successful with fedora and without more help from me during the install process.

If a random reddit post is correct and he was 84 years old, I can only hope to have the same drive and mental ability at that age. RIP.

My job is working with a ton of servers over ssh. Bash is the most convenient balance between features and not needing to do any setup.

I am on a pixel 7 with graphene OS. Been great. Ive been using this phone for about a year or so now.

I disagree with my mah and old man a lot. But, when I was having hard times as a kid, giving them headaches and heartaches, and when I struggled as an adult they were there to tell me they loved me, hug me, feed me regardless of what I believed. They have always loved me unconditionally.

If it ain’t illegal. I’ll host it for them, no questions asked. If I ever needed anything, those are two people I know will be there every time, without fail. It’s the least I can do to try and pay them back, even if I know I never could.

Host is Proxmox, with Ubuntu LTS VMs.
