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 use a Deadman switch I wrote myself. I have an encrypted vault that contains information that my wife/children may need to gain access to our health benefits, my life insurance policy info, my PII (code to my personal firesafe containing my SSN, birth cert, etc etc.), my bank account info, steps to file for debt forgiveness on my CCs (I pay a small amount per 100 dollars on my CCs that will wipe them if a supported life/death event happens), college tuition savings accounts for my kids and more.
Basically my goal is to make sure that my family has access to all of our assets and money since I manage our finances, and they have enough Info to change any accounts over to their email and info. I haven’t told them yet but I have been stashing money as well (both in physical cash and a max contribution Roth IRA). If I ever die, I try and keep enough money in cash that no one knows about that will pay for all of their living expenses for a minimum 1 year. Since I do all of the budgeting, I can account for this before the spendable money is made aware to everyone. They would probably hate me now since we run pretty tight on money, but if I ever die I think they’ll forgive me.
That is a fair point. But for CAD work I am unsure of a better option with used ThinkPads. Currently I am running an x11 DE with proprietary drivers on mine and it is acceptable even though it isn’t perfect.
I have seen a ton of P52 laptops used in the architecture and engineering industry. I would lean that way or a more modern option depending on budget. P1 laptops are also pretty cool. Not as powerful but more portable and slimmer.
I am pulling this totally out of my ass, and I might be making assumptions to aren’t necessarily true or accurate. But, maybe you can run a powered USB 2.0 hub on one of those 3.0 ports. My assumption would be the chain would only be as strong as the weakest link (2.0 hub) that you might be able to get 2.0 performance on those 3.0 ports.
This would at least possibly eliminate or confirm down stepping to 2.0 as a solution
But I have not had this issue and could not tell you if it would work or not.
I distro hopped. i mainly used pop, but I had poor performance with gnome so I started hopping again. And after using arch and opensuse, but after several updates causing issues, I moved to Fedora mainly to try atomic distros. After loving Kinoite and bazzite, I put fedora KDE on my main machine and I don’t see myself leaving.
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.
The toxicity is awful. I tried to learn once since I had a buddy that loved the game and I was looking for a game to dump some hours in. This was about 10 years ago or so. My buddy told me he would help teach me the game so I could at least understand what people were saying. It took him one game to start trashing my playing. I fucked off of that game and never played again.
I do not understand how anyone continues to stay in a toxic fanbase even if they really love the game.
I will keep an eye on that. But that is good info to have. I appreciate it!
That’s a fair point.
I think Linux phones would be super cool. And I dream one day it will become a properly usable reality. But what I really want is a properly supported, powerful ARM based laptop. Something approaching apple M series performance with the same kind of battery life. If Ubuntu can nail that, or another distro like asahi Linux, I will be happy with that and using graphene OS.
Wish I could help. Unfortunately the newest cards I have is a laptop 2080, and a desktop 1080ti. Once I can upgrade (likely never at this point) I will be moving to team red.
Ubuntu 11 netbook remix. Currently on Fedora Onyx on my laptop and Kinoite on Desktop.
Sounds like you prefer windows. If you do not have any moral conundrum around using it, go back. Makes no sense to use an OS on your computer that you do not prefer.
I love Linux, sometimes I have issues, but for the work I do it is much easier to do on Linux than on windows. Also I have some moral qualms with Windows and Microsoft and I would rather have a broken machine than one with Windows.
If that is not you, then I would just use what you like.
Lol that is what you said. My bad. Must have read it wrong. That’s on me.
