I was ~22. Overheard an older woman (pushing 60's) at work pretty loudly talk on the phone with an assumed friend about an in-depth discussion of a circus/acrobatics themed sex party they were planning to attend and the rave reviews from the friend having attended it previously. This was an open air office space. There were also 5 other people within the room, separated by clothy cubicle dividers.
That is all to say; I wish all I heard that day was cheating talking instead. I also started wearing headphones pretty religiously after that.
M26. I feel old as shit and it's only gonna get worse. A lot of it is your attitude and environment, something i'm struggling with rn.
You can still be young in your 60ies if you have wonderful people surrounding you.
EndeavourOS is arch based with less hassle. Its more than good enough for most people. don't get trapped by minimal install bs and other non-consequential opinionative approaches to software.
Select btrfs as your file system and use timeshift. If you fuck up or if your updates fuck something up. There are other ways of doing rollbacks and this is just what I became familiar with. I've used it two times in the past year, its worth it.
Bookmark the archwiki, 99% of the time the answer to the questions of 'how to' and 'can i' are in there
There are multiple DE's. Pick what works best for you before you toss that bootable USB installer. You of course can switch later down the line, but experimenting now will save you config troubleshooting later, just stick to what feels/looks best. Look around on the web to see what appeals to your workflow. There are others like Cosmic and Wayland that are not included in the arch gui installer, in which case, follow the install procedures for the DE you want and remove the old ones to avoid config overlap.
No.
