mint cinnamon because on my system it has no major issues and everything is easy to configure. i don't have a lot of spare time so i can't spend hours or even days troubleshooting why something won't install or run. most other distros have been annoyingly buggy or too difficult to set up.

accurate. that's me.

i suspected a corrupted usb too, but i used a different usb stick every time and with fedora i redownloaded the iso file when i reinstalled,

i am quite familiar with kde since i used nobara kde for a good while as my first daily driver linux os, but the experience has always been a bit broken. i can make the taskbar f-ck itself up by looking at it wrong and a reboot usually fixes it.

some really weird stuff started happening today in kubuntu too, like whatsapp web consumes 10 - 20% of cpu nonstop on every browser. and every time the internet connection cuts off (when suspending or reconnecting vpn), a popup says kded5 wants to add a new wallet... and i swear, this wasn't my doing 😅

rpm fusion guide was a tad confusing for me and my rtx 30 series wasn't listed so i didn't know what to install. i did find a good guide after some trial and error and a full reinstall.

i have used nobara in the past, and i quite liked it and would have kept it but it had (and still has) this weird issue when i suspend my pc and/or turn off the monitor (oled tv), it won't get signal anymore until i reboot.

anyway for now i ended up going back to mint for the 6th time and everything works so maybe i just stick with it 😂

gave fedora a shot today (with kde) because i see it recommended a lot. i found it difficult to get a working guide for nvidia drivers, had to reinstall the first time because all i got was a black screen. had lots of difficulty mounting secondary hard drive, programs refusing to install and not launching or nowhere to be found after installing, and everything works ridiculously slow even though i have powerful hardware. after almost smashing my head through the monitor i gave up and installed kubuntu, which also seems to have little hickups like stuttering and lagging when downloading something. is it supposed to be this hard? mint is still the only properly working distro i have seen.

no shit

holy hell. when i'm behind the wheel, the vehicle does not move before everyone is strapped in.

the good news is that it does make windows more secure. you cant hack something that has crashed.

hearing about shoes that need an app makes me want to stab myself in the testicle.

somebody gave you bad advice if you chose arch for your first distro

my gf has tiktok so i hear the same few annoying soundtracks about 374 times a day, mostly before bed.

i find it inconvenient to do that every day, so i brush once a month for 2 hours.
