pop is a pretty similar distro that should be compatible with what you want to do, but i’m not sure how much it hits for a more unified package management system. it’s really hard to beat the AUR and a AUR helper like paru for that.

dmenu is iconic for a reason, although manually patching it to meet your preferences is a bit too much of a project for people who just want something to work. not wanting to learn C is valid.

i’ve transferred 10’s of ~300 GB files via manual rsyncs. it was a lot of binary astrophysical data, most of which was noise. eventually this was replaced by an automated service that bypassed local firewalls with internet-based transfers and aws stuff.

using google’s office tools is going to be pretty generally acceptable for most people. depending on your studies, you might be expected to use windows software at some point. i would recommend dual booting. depending on your computing hardware, buying a relatively cheap 1 TB SSD from any retailer and installing windows on it is usually the best option. should simply be a matter of selecting the correct boot device from your system bios. for psychologists, my supposition would be that any proprietary software used, if any, would be windows exclusive.

could always give antix linux a shot

well in a cosmic sort of sense, it already is. (android is based on a modified linux kernel). seriously though, check out https://antixlinux.com/ it’s a distro to put on any computer, even ones that old.

Jesus Christ, what a fucking asshole. Calls the very valid complaints “trolling” before locking the fucking thread

Honestly just do Debian again. It’s one of the most stable distros for a reason. If anything, it’d make more sense to use Debian for a backup computer.

Fun related fact: both Hades and Hades II are also mostly Lua scripts. And they ship the source code with both games so you can just go look at things like how fishing probabilities are implemented directly in the script.

i’ve had fedora on a macbook pro somewhat recently, and the weirdest difference was whatever copr is. i think it’s some kind of alternate repositories that can have non-free software or something along those lines. fedora seemed decently quick to learn coming from debian though.

If you ever felt like configuring a tiling window manager was hard, then let me tell you this: Configuring two at the same time feels like a tall and well-oiled Swabian is sodomizing you in Berghain.

Excuse me?

touch file && chmod +x file

Fuck intellectual property, all my friends hate the intellectual property

and then he got killed so fucking hard by that guy and his that everyone did actually start fucking again.

i’ve heard my appalachian dialect speaking grandmother use the word “quit” in the like 1700’s british sense of “to leave.” that, and she used to say that she was going to do something “directly” like “we’re going to the store, directly.” such archaic speech patterns.

the word “appalachia” is pronounced “app uh latch uh” btw

always wished a mfer would
