Apple cancelled my order. Twice.

So guess I am switching to Linux for my desktop/daily driver.

So far discovered that Pop_OS! new COSMIC desktop requires restart if you ever want to change mouse speed.

Spending an hour making a mouse not move 20x faster than it should is peak Linux.

It's so annoying but I'm gonna make it work.

I am sustained by a deep loathing of Microsoft and Apple.

KDE desktop environment is very intuitive for a windows user.

I'm so fucking angry at microshit too, after using them for well over 25+ years exclusively for gaming... I am so HAPPY to have chucked on endeavourOS on my gaming laptop. Running a arch distro, but im able to play 90%+ of everything in my library. SO thankful for Valve pushing steamOS and effectiv...

I like much about omarchy, but despite dhh’s paeans to the glory of hyperland and its managed window layout, it’s just been a point of friction. There are better ways to overcome the hassles of window layout without going fully managed. Open to counter-opinions.

THIS IS THE WAY

Enjoy that journey but if you ever want painless boring just works experience Xfce is your friend.

Many operating systems boast of ‘features’ and ‘user experience’. Irrelevant distractions. #Omarchy Linux executes commands without hesitation, corruption, or failure. It wastes nothing. It obeys. If the Dominion required a single operating system to coordinate fleets across the galaxy, this...

Screw microslop. I've been using pop OS as my daily driver for almost a month now and I don't see myself going back.

I flashed PopOS Cosmic recently and been using it, but not liking it so much. PopOS 22 was so much better. What are your thoughts on Fedora? I'm currently running it in a VM and liking it more than Cosmic.

I’m sure you’ll get more than enough unsolicited Linux advice from this post. All I’ll say is that I hope you’re able to make it work for you, because Linux is a solid operating system, though it does have it’s quirks. In fairness, Windows and Mac OS have their quirks, too. Choose your s...

Fate as it seems, doesn't seem to come without a sense of irony.

COSMIC is so new I wouldn't recommend it as a starting place. That sounds more like Linux of 10 years ago. Fedora KDE is pretty solid. Might overwhelm with options but you can also make it look Macish pretty quickly.

I suggest "KDE neon" #KDE the best window manager ever

I switched to Linux last month and also started with Pop_OS. No mouse problems but it didn't like my game controller and had to do a similar fight. I switched to Bazzite and it's been seamless ever since. Fedora based.

Maybe the storeman runs core v30?

In the context of I'm too old to want to tinker anymore, and I haven't owned a Mac since the 90s, Windows drove me to Linux Mint in ~2017. At the time, I did my research and was convinced that Mint was the best "it just works" option (provided your hardware was at least a year or 2 old to ensure dr...

Not familiar with Pop or COSMIC but I’ve install mint on old Mac laptops and they both wired seamlessly.

I've been daily driving either XUbuntu (Ubuntu with XFCE) or Debian (with XFCE) for the last decade without any memorable "peak Linux" issues coming to mind.

Deep loathing of Microsoft and Apple sustains us all!

Use Artix Linux, KDE version or XFCE version. You'll thank me later. Or maybe KDE Neon.
