I myself have been using linux for 15 years and disagree with what you’ve said.

1. Learn how to install and update on Endeavor and you won’t have to worry about much - it just works, on any hardware.

Fedora always breaks on me, whether it be nvidia or amd. I used to love Fedora but found it breaks far more than otherwise.

The Linux vernal is designed to work on up to current gen hardware. If anything the current gen nvidia stuff is rough (40 series). I’ve had no issues with 30 series or 7000 series amd GPUs.

2. Why? Nothing wrong with using extensions. They’re usually updated within a week if Gnome or KDE breaks them. With gnome I’ve had 10+ extensions with 0 issues across multiple computers.

3. Not true. My dual boot has never broken on multiple computers. Whether is be Debian, Ubuntu, fedora, or arch.

4. Also not great advice. I found Endeavor OS, which is Arch to run the best. PopOS was the only other one that just worked.

5. This I do agree with; hyprland, i3, etc take a long time to fine tune. While tiling managers do help with productivity, setting them up takes a while.

6. Flatpaks should not replace system packages. They tend to be updated much slower and scaling can be weird on them.

That seems to be it. I didn’t know that existed.

Fediverse version of github when? Unless it already exists?

I remember 2014 being pretty easy to install Linux. Windows 7 and 10 were also pretty easy then.

My servers are on 24/7, currently they use about 100watts each (I have 2 running), which adds maybe $20 to my electric bill. I also have stuff such as mailcow, nextcloud, and mattermost running, turning off every night would make those applications useless.

I have a shit APC desktop UPS. It keeps them on for 10-15 minutes at best.

I came from vscode and nano. I wanted something within the terminal as powerful as vscode. I tried doom emacs and vim but they didn’t feel right.

Reasons I use it:

• I found it easier to learn than vim/emacs in my opinion
• Written in rust
• Pretty easy to get language servers running
• config is super easy

NixOS, Helix, and Hyprland 😁 But I’m graduated, so I just procrastinate everything else instead.

shutdown -h now

-h stands for halt

now can be set to any amount of time you want.

I’ve been messing with linux on my xps tablet. It mostly works well, I just hate the onscreen keyboards right now. Maliit lacks documentation and modifier buttons, squeekboard doesn’t scale to larger screens unless you manually build a dev branch, and wvkbd doesn’t hide/respond to input boxes.

As for UI, I love plasma mobile personally. For other touch friendly UIs theres: gnome mobile, phosh, and hyprland + gesture plugin.

I also use Librewolf, most settings are preconfigured.
