I might make a post about my tastes in linux desktops at some point. I've run the gambit with pretty much all the major distros (along with some obscure ones) over the close to a decade that I've been a linux user, so I have lots of opinions

some basic shit: Debian is my favorite cause its super stable and doesn't change much (i am autism). Gnome is my fav DE because its really pretty and the way workspaces work makes my brain happy. I like ubuntu. Arch is fun but overrated for my usecase. I am never going to use Gentoo as a daily driver OS.

other basic shit: gatekeepers can go to hell. Linux is linux is linux. Hell, ANY FOSS OS is better than Windows and MacOS. I want more people to use the linux desktop. I want the linux desktop to grow. Gatekeeping makes it hard for that to happen.

Archinstall is fun and good. So long as you are able to install arch without it at least once, there's no reason to install Arch any other way at this point with how effective archinstall has gotten. Before I knew about it, I rarely did installs of Arch just because they are time consuming. Now, I have arch on several systems, not just a couple, solely because archinstall is so efficient

I don't like auto tiling window managers. I've tried awesomeWM, i3, hyprland, etc., and none of them really clicked with me, no matter how much I configured them. My favorite of those was awesomeWM, but even that I didn't enjoy as much as the manually tiling that comes with Ubuntu and the like

IceWM is GODTIER when it comes to low end or old hardware. I fucking love IceWM and it is on every single shitty computer that isn't running original software like Windows XP etc.

I don't care for Linux Mint all that much. Although I always recommend it for new users who are coming from Windows, I don't reallty like it for my systems. If I want Ubuntu minus snaps, I'd just use Fedora or pop!_os

got a surface laptop gen 1 and put ubuntu 24.04 on it, and then tried fucking around with the surface kernel, and it ended up not being worth it for me personally.

I had a bug where every so often the touchscreen and the keyboard drivers would get all screwy, and I wouldn't be able to login to the desktop unless I restarted to potentiallty fix the problem

I tried reinstalling the kernel and fucking around in grub, but after doing that and changing some stuff around, the problem persisted, so I just ditched it and went with the generic linux kernel. I don't super need the touch screen anyway, just thought it may be fun

If you use firefox, make sure to update to the newest version, as a vulnerability was found that allows for remote code execution!!!

Thanks so much for the follow! I love ur site, its sooo cute!! And ur fiberarts stuff are great, I can't wait to look through ur other projects!!
Since its become relevant considering the recent blog post from Kyle: I have no intentions of leaving neocities. I don't care if Kyle disagrees with me on a topic as nuanced as AI and AI research. This is still gonna be my little corner of the internet, although if that ever changes, I'll make sure to give everyone advanced notice. Much love from your friend Zaz <3
