I’ve been a Pop stan since I started using Linux so I’ll always recommend it, and it helps that you already like it. But if you specifically want something different (and that isn’t arch), I’d say Fedora KDE

Like I said, I didn’t buy it expecting it to last forever, but I haven’t run into any problems yet and I’ve only had the drive for about a year now. We’ll see how it holds up when it hits real long term numbers.

It depends on how important your data is to you. Me personally, I just run a jellyfin server with dubiously acquired tv shows and movies. Which is to say that if I lost everything in a catastrophic failure, I wouldn’t much care, so I decided to get a refurbished 14tb USB connected external HDD.

If you run anything more important, you should listen to others who might have a more robust solution

I see two separate dashes in voyager

He’s referring to

This is what everyone @xAI does.

Which Elon probably (maybe?) meant to be

This is what everyone at @xAI does.

If op’s mangohud is correct, yes

Do things not work out of the box on debian?

I remember as a kid seeing my older brother talk to people on a mic and thought he was talking to the characters in the game

When I built my own PC a little over a year ago. I only knew about Linux in the first place because I was trying (unsuccessfully) to make a media server out of an old laptop (I eventually figured it out)

Personally I’m a PopOS enjoyer over Mint but that’s really not a big deal.

1. As for not using the command line, you can get away with it for the most part but you’re eventually going to have to use it for something. Your distro, whatever you pick, will have an app called “shop” or “discover” or something similar that will let you download other apps and updates (yes you will generally want to keep your system up-to-date). It’s also likely that you’ll be able to download and use Proton this way. Since Mint and Pop (and Ubuntu lol) are Ubuntu based, any app that works on Ubuntu (like Proton) will also with with them.

2. Custom theming (including mouse) well be pretty easy. Go into your settings app, find themes, and pick from any of the pre-installed onboard themes. Or go into your shop app, or even the internet, and download someone else’s theme.

3. Keyboard shortcuts are also configurable and most of the time will be the same as windows

4. If you pick a distro with a gui installer (all of your distro candidates do) then installation is basically completely unfuckupable.

I just end mine with “&& exit”

This is dumb lol but

update = “sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade”

Exchange apt for whatever package manager you use, optionally add “&& flatpak upgrade”. If you really want to live on the edge throw a -y in there as well

Are you referring to the face buttons? When people talk about Xbox vs playstation layout they refer to the left side joystick/d-pad positioning

This is what I see

I don’t know about shipping to Europe but GameSir has the Tarantula Pro which I have, and despite being partial to the Xbox layout I’ve been enjoying. I know 8bitDo also has a Playstation style controller with hall effect sticks and that people who have tend to like them, but I don’t have one so I can’t comment on it

Which one did you buy? I have the tarantula pro and it has the playstation layout
