As a newer Linux user I really like flatpaks.

I don’t use them for most things I install but proprietary apps I want sandboxed or programs that have weird issues with dependencies I grab the flatpak.

Half the reason I switched to Linux almost a year ago was to avoid Microsofts forced invasive Ai bullshit. Seeing stuff like Recall has only cemented my decision.

I could go on a long rant about what I consider “right & wrong” when it comes to Ai but I’m just some dude and wanna use my own computer in the way I want to.

You have to add the drive to a file called ‘fstab’ to have it be mounted on launch

If you want a video guide here’s the one I learnt to do it from.

It is kinda annoying Linux doesn’t seem to have a decent auto mount solution yet especially for people like me with 6+ drives in their machine.

I only recently found out Blackberry still make phones and they still have the physical keyboard! One of my coworkers has one and I did a double take when I first seen it.

I got my KDE setup like that, sadly you gotta do it manually in the edit mode and it can be a bit finicky at first.

I only recently start using it after also being a browser email user all my life.

Kinda wondering what took me so long Thunderbird is great! don’t have to relearn questionable Ui between different email providers or re-login to check two mailboxes on the same provider.

Only annoying thing is not supporting ProtonMail out of the box.

I chose Pop!_OS as my first because I was worried about Nvidia drivers and everyone told me Pop was a safe bet. Stayed with it for about 3 weeks despite a lot of weird issues with audio drivers and just not liking a lot of the Ui even after customizing it heavily, before it completely shit itself one day and I couldn’t even load a backup.

Went back to Windows for 2 months before trying EndeavourOS w/KDE and it’s been my main for almost a year now.

I actually started using Firefox in my early teens just because I liked the look of the Ui and themes better than Chrome.

I’ve also recently switched to Librewolf ;)

The obvious answer is people who grew up using Macs tend to like the Ui and workflow.

Even though I’ve never enjoyed my times using MacOS, I’ll still sell being able to perfectly clone it’s desktop as a feature of Linux for those who do.

Aero will never die!

Just did a fresh install of EndeavourOS with KDE 6…still using the same theme I’ve been using on 5.27 for months. I call it ‘Windows 7 but better’

And yes I deleted my last comment while figuring out how embedding images actually works >.>

I granted I haven’t tried any outside of what comes pre-installed on whatever DE I’m currently using, but yeah Konsole is the best

Luckily I keep all my important files and backups on a separate drive so reinstalling an OS is only a “mild” annoyance for me.

I was only on Arch for abit over a week just to “prove I could” but honestly didn’t see a huge upgrade over Endeavour for my personal use.

I’ve gone back to using EXT4 for now

I only used BTFS for the first time on that install to try it out.

I’ve sadly formatted over the drive at this point, I did manage to mount the home and root partitions to a live usb but didn’t have any luck getting the boot to mount to anything.

They were but both located on the same drive

I rolled back using timeshift, which I have used many times before without issue.

I’m not sure it that also rolls back the kernal but I seem to recall it typically does? I can be mistaken.

Timeshift sorry, thought I mentioned it but forgot.
