Let me guess, Rust is too woke? "It's being pushed onto users and not adopted naturally'?

Would fit Lunduke well.

Fun story, started at a new company as a software engineer. Default device is windows, with maybe a mac if you specifically ask for it/have a need for it.

However, turns out the person in charge of IT is super chill and lets you install what you want on your on risk. Fair deal as I am not developing super critical infrastructure.

It is ultimately your choice, but from the many instances of poor communication, carelessness or whatever it was, I can't personally recommend it.

Even from a new user viewpoint they are often not helpful, reverting to rtfm, something that is expected on base arch, but not on something that supposedly wants to be preinstalled on hardware.

I wish them the best and hope that the ship eventually sails without hiccups.

I can absolutely recommend hyprland to you, tiling compositor with animations you likely know from macOS, lots of configurability and a good example of using it with nix (NixOS might be a good choice here) https://github.com/fufexan/dotfiles

Also quite a nice discord server or matrix if you have questions about it.

Don't use linux with the expectation that it works like windows. If you want to use linux, be open to new ways of doing things, and you will likely have a great time, try the old methods and you will run into impassable walls.

While it doesn't resolve the actual issue, on android there are 2 apps you could use instead. Jerboa for example (installable at least on fdroid)

Hehe, installed both nobara and windows on my brothers pc. Nobara installed without issues, immediately usable with wifi. Windows didn't recognize drives at first, had to reflash the iso, i assume that was an iso issue not necessarily windows but you never know. Then, 0 internet, no wifi drivers :) Hotspot with phone and cable in order to make the pc have basic functionality, the true windows experience.

I rate positions like this on their consistency. On Israel they may be rightfully anti imperialist. In other fronts(ukraine) they instead support imperialism. Aka not a single bit better.

It can be, depends if you need proprietary software on a regular basis.

Or if you install one of the distros that have sane defaults for laymen.

Something like popOS is definitely more user friendly for regular use, it just has the usual limitations with ( insert random windows only software ), but that is another problem entirely.
