I love Arch and Hyprland, but when I need to spin up some linux machine ASAP that can be used by normies I will install Linux Mint.
a passerby who want less latency… :)

Oh, sorry… I thought they are one from the start… thx for correcting me.
Welp… Gnome will lost many of their contributor/maintainer… Well, at least KDE folks is backed by Novell(SUSE) and XFCE is purely maintained by community already. It seems Linux desktop is still safe. lol
Gnome is bloated. It needs seconds just to oprn start menu/app switcher/or something like that on my low end laptop… :/
It also uses more ram at iddle.
Nah, Gnome is already bad on my battered 2017 i3 lenovo laptop… I am on arch btw… XD … so the bloat should be minimal.
Not all people has the resource to buy state of the art laptop…
maybe exploding-heads.com? is that site still around?
I only know that on Lemmyverse, most of conservatives happily stays on reddit given most committed progressives migrated here. Or may be they go to squabblr, its owner says they are welcomed there.
There are many though, on mastodon-verse if you like twitter-esque experience. There are enough users and instances to hold meaningful conversations.
XFCE is da best! KDE is second. Gnome is distant last. Lol
Mostly. There are one or two niche subs that doesn’t exist here, so I keep using reddit for that. Overall I’m happy with fediverse, both on twitter-like and reddit-like platforms.
Hmm may be, I’ll try to check that. Thx…
Some custom or git version of application. Once a time I need to use sddm git to fix bug with my hylrland.
Daily using my workplace’s Wifi… :D
I don’t know why, but my archlinux bootloader always disappear if I connet bootable disk when my computer is booting, lol…
Linux Mint & ArchLinux
I once run it in VM on my workplace’s old pc with just 1.5GB RAM allocated to it. It runs great, can federate well and has low memory usage even when replying to popular guy on mastodon.social.
The server pc died tho, as well as the domain it uses. I never rebuild it.
I got a Karmic Koala (ubuntu 09.10) CD from my friend kn my high school days, I install it on my Pentium 4 PC then freaked out because there are no codec and I can’t install it because I have no Internet at all, lol. Going back to windows until I have Laptop on my second year of uni. I still needs to use my uni’s wifi to install any apps, but it is workable and I use Linux almost exclusively since then. (sometimes dual boot-ing if there are Lecture that needs me to use windows.)
I have 4, one in kbin, one in world, one in shit, and this one… :D
Laugh in Cinnamon…
I was grow up using windows xp and 7 btw… XD
