    I use Fedora 40 KDE because I just want something that works immediately.

    That’s similar to my customer’s use case hence was why I suggested PopOS, although thinking about it in hindsight I probably should’ve recommended EndeavorOS for the moment as Gnome was more buggy than I initially expected

    Hey if you ever do consider to distroswap Pop_OS! Is a great option.

    Due to the inflexibility/ridgedness of the underlying distro Ubuntu, I don’t actually like PopOS too much, I do think it’s a good introduction to Linux for beginners though. I’ve also used Ubuntu Server for my Raspberry Pi projects quite a while back and thought it was interesting but, for my personal desktop OS as I wanted full customizability I eventually settled on Arch as it provided me the best flexibility (in context with the AUR and Flatpaks) and reliability in documentation.


    To me:

    • Ubuntu felt like children’s version of legos; what you see is what you get and you have to try your best to force it to do the things you want it to do.
    • Fedora felt like discovering the lost facilities and constructors from BLAME!. The contructors can build what you require however the lands have long been abandoned after it’s creators let the machines(IBM) run rampant (search “Red Hat Fedora controversies”) as such; “humanity has simply slipped through the cracks”.
    • Arch Linux felt like weaving magic that did exactly as how you imagined your idea, but only if you got the incantation just right with the requirement that the tome(s) you read was accurate and up to date. Using Arch actually requires understanding of the fundamentals in addition to the tenacity to sift through the archives and decipher which of the information provided by their authors will produce the outcome that you so desire. The journey is brutal but the power that comes from one’s own effort is like ambrosia like no other.
    • NixOS felt like casting lost arts of great power that could be replicated and shared albeit with the problem of a tumultuous community that was plagued by contradictory systems. After the previous civil war I lost touch with some members and no longer know if it is worth revisiting it’s hallowed grounds. It seemed like paradise around the year 2021 but as I lost touch I would have to consult with scholars such as Xe Iaso before deciding to rekindle that desire.

    Arch can blow one’s legs off equivalent to C++ however, with the benefit of their Library of Babel in addition to wielding my dual-edged curse called OCD, I feel as though I am a hair’s breadth away from reaching my personal utopia. If you’ve managed to reach the end of my tale, hopefully you might understand why I’ve currently decided to build my home on Arch
