I’m all of the above

It says “Someone you know is gay,” but I think it would be extremely presumptuous of me to say that I know you. It also says, “someone you love,” but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one.

I like that flatpak runs the apps in a sandbox.

For desktop use, I’m not even sure that minimal binary distros make as much of a difference as they used to. Most of the software I use tends to be flatpak, which is like the opposite of minimal binary.

I’m starting to think that whatever distro installs and updates the easiest is probably the best to use. Either that, or if you want a specialized distro, like one specializing in games, that might be the best, because games tend to be my number one headache.

One of the unexpected boons of using Ubuntu is that there are fewer zealots. If I say it sucks, nobody gets offended. Actually, I think more people get offended if you say that Ubuntu doesn’t suck.

I suspect that most Linux users are former Windows users.

a large chunk of the replies were “well MY displays work just fine!”

I just went to check the previous thread, and I think there’s miscommunication both ways here.

They read your post as “I’m trying Linux, but it’s even hard to get monitors to work.” So, they responded, “I haven’t had a problem with monitors on Linux in decades.”

There’s not much else they can say, as you weren’t really asking for advice, so you didn’t give any technical details, but you were still complaining about something that they like.

Meanwhile, you read them as you said, “well MY displays work just fine!” So their replies seem utterly baffling, defensive, and unhelpful from your perspective.
