If your goal is to learn about Linux, a single manual arch install will teach you more than going through a 100 near identical wizards. And that's before going into actually useful resources like those that prepare you for Linux cert exams.

If your goal is to compare distros, a week is not nearly enough time.

But Debian doesn't sell enterprise support while trying to screw its users

KDE no doubt. GNOME is a minimalist that depends on extensions to provide basic functionality, while also being a giant fatass. KDE works from the install, provides a sensible workflow, and has better tools.

But I'd only use KDE on a rolling release or a 6 month release schedule distro. Their approach to development really doesn't suit stable ones.

I mean the title should be "... time to move to the other browser".

Safari is the new IE with extra iCrap on top.

Random browsers usually use one of the 3 web engines, but without browser polish, or functionalities like a working adblock. Those that don't are just someone's toys.

So the only real option is Firefox, and the Mozilla foundation lost 80+% of their funding because they can't get the Google money anymore. Maybe they'll start actually funding FF instead of some BS humanitarian work that I can bet was primarily lining their pockets...

Dude heard about vendor lock-in, but has no clue what it is.

It's obvious in the light of pure reason that everyone needs to lift

Yup, the euthanasia coaster

Be careful with Nobara. I've also used it for a bit (fedora 38 base) and had an easier time setting it up than fedora 39. It disables most security features to get better performance. Besides that, it's only developed by one dude and primarily for personal use, so when it went from 38 to 39 he just completely dropped his gnome config, broke the upgrade in so many ways, and switched to kde. Also it didn't have an upgrade notification and I had to accidentally learn that a new major version came out.

Dropped it after that because it doesn't inspire confidence, no matter how important GE is for gaming on Linux. I'd rather spend at most an hour setting up MX (Debian) for gaming.

It's not going to stay immutable for long when OP takes a bat to it

Arch is a Vauxhall Novana

Nah, Arch is the reliant robin: it's minimal, requires constant maintenance, and while it might flip in a corner, it's pretty easy to get out and flip it back up ( it's a really good learning and training opportunity)

the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor

That's because their monitors cost $2k

The shithead neighbours in my village installed some giant flood lights on top of poles. Every night I spend there, I fantasize about tearing them down. I get Melkor.
