also windows: "Can i use X app" "sure here's a .exe"

also Linux: "can i use X app?" "here's an open source alternate that doesn't work as well as the windows version, but you don't care about that, you just wanna be cool!"

    I so wish this were representative. I have been trying to install nvidia drivers on debian and doing so bricked my entire workstation lol. If you know anything about this don't hesitate to chime in btw

    Me learning Linux:

    I have no idea what the difference between systemd-boot and grub.

    Also, I'm not going to check which one is being used, I'll just remove the one I don't like

    Linux:

    Get after it chief

    Why did I have both installed? No idea. Did I have to make and use a recovery USB? Absolutely.

    COSMIC is a decent middle ground but I find it a bit heavy/slow for what it can do right now. The option for stacked and tiling is nice, the customization is lacking and is no where near KDE but it's slightly better than gnome, slightly.

    Cosmic DE is supposedly a food mix between GNOME's nearly zealous anticonfiguration stance and KDEs "configure everything" stance. It might see more uptake after it becomes stable. But I doubt it'll convince the "I want an Apple UI and UX" club.

    It can be hit or miss from game to game, check out protondb.com if you're ever having problems getting a game to work, sometimes there's small tweaks you need to do. Some stuff that uses anti cheat doesn't work as well, like Valorant or Fortnite. I've been gaming on Linux primarily for years though and it's never been better.

    I ran a little test game of Balatro to make sure games ran alright, and to my surprise everything seems good! (knock on wood) I always thought installing was going to be a lot more painful, but so far the worst part was backing everything up.
