I've been on linux for a few years now. Not going to pretend that I know what I'm doing, because I stopped being a tech enthusiast at half my current age. Aside from needing to start steam from the terminal otherwise the gui never shows up, my pc is doing exactly what I want it to and nothing more.

But then I hear cries of "but you can't play fortnite or league or some other game I don't care about"

insert the meme, you know the one "I already switched, you don't have to sell it to me"

    Oh, it's the same here. Well, I do know what I'm doing, but I used to tinker with multiple linux distros in the 90s/2000s. I used gentoo "before it was cool", when you would literally leave it building your initial install for a whole weekend.

    I cannot do that now. I went through the process of installing Arch, and it's been pretty good for me with not exploding completely on me (like Manjaro did). I honestly don't have the time to sit and diagnose why I'm stuck at a text only console without internet suddenly any more. Which is exactly what happened with Manjaro.

    I used to be Slacker. Seeing now that I need to be a Slacker again.

    I ain't a coder. I just don't want to pay for a box named to be something someone, if not fucking anyone, gets to watch me through. Just because I think I possess it doesn't mean it's not literally the other way around.

    Oh but this apple...and don't tell me it ain't exactly the same fucking one they referenced back then.
