I highly recommend you try Linux Mint or Fedora, both are simple to use, stable, and well supported.

I personally use Fedora for development and gaming, but you might enjoy mint more for your use case

Only office is what I use for school and it’s excellent, otherwise the full MS suite is available in the browser.

Highly recommend against Manjaro for anyone for any use case

See: https://manjarno.pages.dev/

I can corroborate the article from my personal experience, Manjaro is a terrible OS with constant stability issues

Manjaro user?

You need the game scope session, which there’s only a package for Nobara and I think Arch too but don’t quote me on that

And the session will require you to log out, which can be a massive pain in the ass.

This, waydroid is excellent, I use it all the time

The checking media message is your bios trying to boot from some external network drive. I had that issue for the longest, and I realized that I misunderstood how the boot order actually worked.

Try swapping your boot order around to opposite how it is currently? That’s what I did and it solved my problem

Have you perchance installed the proprietary drivers? The open source drivers aren’t any good

Maybe give Lapce a shot, it’s still in it’s infancy, but it’s pretty slick and very responsive.

Are you using snaps? Snaps are notorious for God awful performance.

This, even still, with only one drive, I’ve done it before as a novice, if you rtfm you’ll be fine. Otherwise yeah, just put it on a second drive

They’re not difficult by any means.

But they are tedious when compared to other solutions.

Dynamically typed/interpreted language?

Python Yup that checks out.

I’ve never understood why so many languages insist on a feature that causes such a obtuse and tedious programming experience.

Python is great, until you don’t remember a function call, and can’t guess using your LSP to tell you. :/

They make a few Wayland DWMs

You have to install Windows first, then your Linux distro.

Doing that has solved all my problems with Windows being a douche

AHEM powershell activation scripts AHEM

The hatred literally stems purely from Windows 10 and 11.

They are products engineered so expertly to frustrate you in such a distasteful way it’s downright offensive to anyone who has used any other operating system. It’s genuinely a marvel of human engineering.

Not bad, just ironic

For all two people who genuinely use edge on Linux, it’s still a more private experience than Windows. Regardless, more power to them

They haven’t brought it back by supporting x11 itself, I don’t see how this will be much different.

Effort is better spent making Wayland the X11 replacement it’s supposed to be.
