Was the compiz fusion cube minimalist or maximalist? I used to wow my non-linux friends with that thing.

You’re welcome!

Slackware, be bold.

vim is for nerds.

I’ve been daily driving Slackware since the late 90s or early 00s (don’t remember). There’s no systemd, and no drama. I run KDE plasma 6, steam with proton, flatpak, rocm for AI shenanigans and whatever else I want. Even the rolling release is solid as a rock. There are dozens of us! And we’re not all greybeards. I started going grey in high school, but I ate cookies for breakfast today because I’m both a grown ass man and a child.

My wife is my barometer for how beginner friendly any tech is. She had zero issues adapting to popOS. She had many issues when I tried to force Slackware on her.

Arch users are the sanctimonious vegans of the linux world. Bacon is delicious, and you are not special.
