I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro.

I’m sorry I’m just venting, do you people think Ubuntu will work for me? I think I will try it next.

      My current work forces me to work with Apple (because they are lazy to prepare Linux for working), I have been on Linux for almost 10 years and I really want to quit my Job because of this stupid Apple laptop, it is trash, the DE is stupid, and I have many issues (with settings, login items, alacritty not working… yabai stopped to work without any reason…) that stresses me a lot… So good, I love my work and I still enjoy working, but the macOS is pure trash.

        I prefer Linux and I’m OK with macOS. Windows on the other hand I dislike, it has bloated complex middleware and tries to control me like a hand puppet. I can work on it but given the choice I go elsewhere.

          I can’t with macOS, even they keybinding makes no sense… it’s such a pain and I love Linux too much. About Windows… it at least has an easier way to manage the app windows and minimize and get it back properly, on macOS I need to install third party tools to be able to switch from windows from the same app, and it’s really a mess and slower than a built-in grid and windows switch manager. Also, if you are an expert of Windows you can always remove much bloated stuff, there are some high skilled Windows users that know how to clean their Windows OS, the only problem is WSL2 isn’t working properly for me, it is limited compared to a decent Linux system and on Linux you can always run Windows apps with wine, so I don’t see why I would want to use Windows haha.

        I told my sibling to search up how to download an image and set it as a background (you can search it up if you want to see if you get the same results) and I get stupid ass articles telling me to download the windows photo app on my phone and sign in with Microsoft photos or some shit and sync it to my signed in Windows desktop and set it as a background photo. Wtf is that?

        For context, my sibling is on Ubuntu and the basic steps are pretty much the same on both Windows and Ubuntu: save image as, then right click on file and set as background.

          In firefox, you can even just right click an image from the web and set it as the background directly.
