95+% of all websites you visit are hosted on AWS or use Cloudflare.
But that’s their decision, not yours.

Up to 100% of all Windows code was written by a Macaque monkey on meth.

Honestly, I’m not surprised.

Stop resisting, it will only prolong the pain.

If that’s what you want, I feel like this community would be one of the first you’d ban - instead of participating in the comments.

No.
But if I only need a specific screwdriver cause none other fit these screws, it costs $200 and plays ads while I hold it, then I’ll use different screws instead.

Is it 32bit or 64bit?
If it’s 64bit, with at least 4GB of RAM and an SSD, you can pick whatever you want.
I’m a fan of Linux Mint Debian Edition for beginners.
If it’s 32bit, MX Linux is probably your best bet.

Plasma is full of these things that make me marvel at what it can do, forget about it in 5 minutes, and never use them.

actually, yes. It’s what gets recommended to redditfugees to avoid dumping them all in .world

I’m a big fan of a minimal Debian system with Flatpaks.
Technically, Fedora Silverblue would be perfect for me, but I had way more issues with it than with Debian, despite it being immutable and atomic.

Or Archinstall is bullshit ;)

It exists, but probably more in the east.
I was once treated to a coffee that was brewed in a moka pot, using vodka instead of water.
They called the drink “Death in Stalingrad”.

There is no irony.
Gatekeeping Linux distros has been a time-honored tradition since 1993.

What makes an Arch system an Arch system is the repos, the package manager and the fact that you installed it yourself.
Anyone giving you support will expect you to be able to answer a couple of questions about your system based on the fact you yourself configured it.
With EndeavourOS, even if you have the exact same repos, it still wouldn’t be an Arch system.
And now get off my lawn!

Those aren’t normal issues.
It sounds more like a driver or hardware issue which may only pop up in KDE (Wayland) and not in your other WMs (X11).
As a first step, try logging into the KDE (X11) Session and see if it still happens.

The learning curve is non-existent for its use case.
You boot it up, open the software center, choose the apps you like and run them.
It’s like Android for the PC.

If you notice a learning curve, run into barriers, or try to wrap your head around containers and layering, you’re already not the target demographic, and better off using a traditional distro.

I tried Silverblue.
And I wanted to run it without layering, cause everyone tells you to avoid it, since it kinda defeats the purpose of an atomic distro in the first place.

First of all, it was buggy. As an example, automatic updates didn’t work, I had to click the update button and reboot twice for it to actually apply, even though it was activated in the settings.
None of the docs helped (actually, there wasn’t any in-depth documentation at all). And no one had a solution besides “It should actually just work”.
That’s the main advantage (the devs test with the exact same system you run) gone right from the start.

Then Firefox is part of the base image, but it’s Fedora’s version, which doesn’t come with all codecs.
If you install Firefox from Flathub, you now have 2 Firefox’s installed, with identical icons in the GUI. So you need to hide one by deleting its desktop file. Except you can’t. So you have to copy it into your home directory and edit it with a text editor to hide the icon.
Then I went through all the installed programs to replace the Fedora version with the Flathub version, cause what’s the point of Flatpak if I’m using derivative versions? I want what the app’s dev made.

Then it was missing command line tools I’m used to. Installing them in a container didn’t work well cause they need access to the entire system.

Finally, I realized even Gnome Tweaks wasn’t part of the installation, and it isn’t available as Flatpak.
That’s the point where I tipped my hat and went back to Debian. Which isn’t atomic, but never gave me any issues in the first place.

Maybe it’s better now, I was on the previous version. Or maybe the Ublue flavours are better. But I don’t see any reason to start distro-hopping again after that first experience.

What I did was [add Flathub, don’t remember if it’s already done by default, and] go through all installed apps in the software center once, check if the Flathub version was made by the app’s devs directly, and if so, switch the source from Fedora to Flathub. I only kept the Fedora version if the Flatpak was made by an independent third party.

I’m not sure if Silverblue is even the right distro for me if I care about such things this much, though.

It already drove across the country by itself several years ago.

A worthy successor to 4chan.
