One downside on a laptop is reduced battery life.

I tried Ghostty briefly before, but you have to really try hard to notice preformance difference over Konsole.

Cool idea, but not useful for those that spend all day in a terminal imnho.

Mine was also local. Felt nothing. You just got a shit doc.

Mild inconvenience at worst. Don’t spread misinformation about this awesome procedure.

Sounds like you just had a shit doc doing yours.

Eye exam later would make you feel even worse lol

This chart doesn’t imply there’s anything wrong with your position. Low confidence and low competence = choosing OS that implements a ton of guardrails to prevent users it’s designed for from fucking up too hard. Nothing wrong with that even if you choose to do that forever.

That’s true, but I’ve been using it for 25+ years and prefer stock kde experience. Daily driver for work and play. Fewer issues than windows for sure. I can’t figure out macos so I try to avoid it.

OpenSuse

None of that happens though and cli is not needed for most users. Updates are automatically pulled and installed whenever she restarts. Worst case scenario she knows to press down once during boot to select previous snapshot.

My 97yo grandma uses Linux without even being aware what OS she’s on. Web sites open the same. Telegram works the same.

Anyone saying Linux isn’t user friendly hasn’t used it in decades or ever.

Most Windows/macos users wouldn’t be able to install those either so that’s a non argument.

Default behavior is for psychopaths.

I’m so confused every time I use a new browser.

I’ve had zero compatibility issues (other than garbage docking stations using display link) but I was always just buying Dell. I just tried an Asus and have a ton of problems. Hardware is still an issue on Linux unless you’re using the most common shit.

Daily driving OpenSuse for ~20 years.
