Websites can be vague, or outdated. Is there any error from running the command?

It was fun for me to switch. I had the same mentality as you had, I could’ve waited until windows 10 support ended to switch to Linux, but I decided to switch a few years ago and now I have years of experience.

You’ll definitely need to get used to hunting down that one single package you need to get the programs you want working. I find it nice to dedicate an evening to getting something working, and that’s fun for me. For example, I took an evening to get thumbnails working in “file Explorer” (it requires ffmpeg btw). You can be lazy with Arch, but it will take time to get it perfect. The problem with arch is you can make it to your standards. If you have low standards, you can get away with a lot.

I’d recommend KDE and Gnome. They’re the two most popular and mainstream DEs. If you ever plan on switching to another distro, being familiar with these two will benefit you.

If you feel really confident, you can start playing with window managers.

Most distros are the same under the hood. I’d recommend downloading different desktop environments. You can stay on Mint and keep all your files.

It’s all open source. You can merge them yourself. It is a massive technical challenge and pretty much impossible, it’d be like merging minecraft and fallout together.

People do make money off of open source projects, not just from donations, but sometimes providing prenium features, or providing their own servers instead of you maintaining your own.

There are project leaders, Linus has the final say in what does and does not make it into the Linux kernel.

Sir this is the Linux instance.

I’d start with Ubuntu. If there’s any niche software, it will probably run on Ubuntu/debian distros.

For getting your value out of it, I highly recommend emulation.

I think seeing how well the OLED versions of consoles sells, Nintendo will release their new switch with OLED, then make a cheaper non-oled version like the switch lite / 2ds /etc.

If I didn’t already buy the 512, the oled would be worth it imo

I’m in the same boat with my switch as well.

I’ve never used Wayland, x11 is fine for me.

I have also had issues with Wayland, but I have heard issues with Nvidia cards and Wayland.

Yeah, you look at how there are a handful of package managers, and hundreds of distros, they’re pretty much all the “same”

But yes gentoo and NixOS do things the most differently. But even on those you can game on them.

I mostly want to discourage distro hopping with the belief that they’re missing out on a program or desktop, only to end up on windows because they’re tired of reinstalling everything.

One important thing you need to know about distros: they’re all the same under the hood.

You can have any desktop you want on any distro. But some customizations are redone in some distros. In terms of programs you want to run, they pretty much all work on any distro. If a distro is “better for gaming” it usually just means the programs are pre-installed.

People talk about arch and Debian as the best because they have the least customizations, allowing you to install and customize as you wish.

Linux users are mostly tinkerers, they like their customizations their way. I’m in that boat. The less I have to remove to get my customization working, the better. Just give me a black screen and a white blinking cursor, I know how to do the rest from there.

I just sonic welded my steam deck, with extra rivets through the screen and fan to be sure.

I just don’t use my impact drill on them and I’ve never had an issue.

Learning trig has made me want to blow brains out so much more than biodiversity ever did.

If you look up “how to make a bookmark” for example, you might find the tutorial for the right browser you’re using, or you might find one for chrome/firefox/edge, or you might find a tutorial on a real bookmark.

Narrowing your search to the specific program you’re using will get you better results. “how to adjust mouse sensitivity in Linux” will not get you good results. Look up “… In Linux mint” or in your chosen desktop environment. You’ll get much better results.

Deliberate edits, quote mining, etc. Imo

And democrats founded the kkk.

but what about now?
