My "rite of passage" to the magical world of GNU/Linux was... well... boredom. My Windows install was run fresh, with TCPOptimizer, with some things removed out of its core... until I took the decision of "trying to figure out how to use Linux even if it means losing my sanity."

...and here we are. Sanity is still intact tho...

...I think. :^)

"Not exactly Linux", but FreeBSD. Gave it a couple tries but gave up when I realized its minimalism is a placebo at best and its "super security features" can (also) be achieved on any other standard Linux distribution.

Yes officer, this heretic right here.

When folks will stop with the "If Linux won't become another Windows, it'll fail" mentality? Linux is not Winblows -- and we really mean it. To "increase adoption" users need to acknowledge (only) this -- that both Windows and Linux differs from one another and that won't change in any time soon.

Asides from "ew installing Winblows stuff in my distro ewwww" that will be a gamechanger if they do it right.

No, but I used this back when I was a little penguin and I had to "see" something working on Linux.

That'd be true if I were a Winblows tryhard. Thankfully, it's not the case. :^)

Imagine giving away user control and privacy for more battery life.

Why do you hate yourself this much?

j/k. nicely done. I'd feel like a hacker if I could do this on my phone, but I'm too scared to brick it.

It's a mix of baby duck syndrome and conformism.

In a nutshell, Ubluntu is trying to take user control off its users. And the users are mad because of it.

And yes, I'm talking about snap.

Trial-and-error is a beautiful thing, isn't it?

t. Had to reinstall GNU/Linux several times through the course of months while trying new stuff and/or trying to improve the current ones.

Does it improve performance in any way? Seems a bit obvious, but I'll ask anyways for the sake of curiosity.

Does a single board computer counts as a phone? Then a Orange pi zero 3. (Not like theres anything else to do other than read/lurk online communities, code and the occasional cloud gaming nowadays, so eh.)

Eh, "it just werks" just like Xorg -- don't know why folks still make such fuzz regarding this subject.

t. Managed to install Sway on a single board computer with zero Linux support -- Orange pi zero 3.

Aw ye! Can't wait to game with FSR 3 on my Raspberry pi 4!

Then do it? It's a free operating system -- just download whatever distro pleases you, give it a spin, see what happens.

Oh...Arcan. Yep, that one.

Apparently theres a "better wayland" already as is -- forgot its name now. I'd love to see it overcoming both wayland and Xorg.

tl;dr
