Sorry for the Valentine's Day mood, but to be honest, I've had an affair with most of the distros, and sometimes with several of them at the same time.

Dirty little distro slut. Actually been pretty loyal to arch since I first switched to linux. If you don't like to struggle I wouldn't recommend arch for new users.🫠

That's not a crime if the code is GPL licensed.

Oh look. It’s Bill Gates trying to look all cool and hip.

Look, I get it, you want all the free marketing of having your chrome-knock-off browser become a verb…..

Yeah I’m not clicking that link….

(Edit: I lied. Morbid curiosity and I’m very disappointed. My money was on a Rick roll.)

Hey me too! Arch on my desktop and Fedora on my laptop. They're both so wonderful. 🖤

Currently running Fedora on my ThinkPad T14 Gen 1, but the trackpad is hit or miss. It will either work splendid, or Tap-to-Click and scrolling are working 40% of the time..

I really like Fedora, but might just return to Ubuntu, as I had no issues with the trackpad there.

Try kubuntu. It uses (the imo much nicer) KDE instead of gnome.

I'm planning to switch away from Kubuntu after using it for at least a decade on my desktop and laptop machines. The whole snap thing gets annoying. Yes, I can override it, I know, but...effort. I'm planning to just go to Debian.

Just get KDE from the horse's mouth then and use KDE Neon. Ubuntu packages, but snapd isn't even installed by default. It also ships with rolling release stable KDE, but isn't rolling release otherwise.

I'm not clear on the benefit of that over just running Debian. And aren't there concerns about Canonical?

It just means your KDE version is newer, it's also the distro made by the KDE devs. I'm not too worried about canonical, they're annoying, but it rarely affects me.

I didn't know neon was based on Ubuntu as well, neat.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have only ever tried Gnome (and a quick test of ElementaryOS and ZorinOS), but maybe it is time to try another DE.

Yeah exactly.

Not too fond of snap, but am trying KDE Neon now, as I'm a "experienced rookie", but still have never tried any other DE than Gnome..

Having used KDE Neon for 10 minutes, I've had no issues with the trackpad..

If this is Ubuntu or KDE, dunno, but liking it so far .

That's not using Ubuntu which is what the user wanted.

how was your Ubuntu experience? Because i always felt like it could break any time: all this PPAs, need to compile lots of stuff yourself and the release model in general haven't quite worked for me.

I could recommend you to try EndeavourOS if you had somewhat similar problems. It works like a charm, since its an Arch derivative but without Manjaro's problems, which means it has rolling release model, so you always get the latest version pacages, and it has AUR support, which means you won't ever need to clone and compile anything from github, as there's 99% chance it already has its AUR, so all it takes is to type "yay -S *package name*". Not to mention the comprehensive ArchWiki. It also has an i3 flavor. I fucking love i3.

On a laptop I had the manufacturer's linux driver worked much worse than the open source one. I would recommend checking if any other drivers are available for your trackpad.
