for me its about how easily the media is accessible. and i like to rewatch shows, i need them to not disappear

it's not even about the money to me, if i was a billionaire i would still pirate. i would actually pirate way more because i could afford more hard drives
can alsamixer achieve this? i managed to adjust my soundcards gain with it
<1080p screens are still a thing in new laptops. took a quick look at my local electronics store and found some with 1600x900. but most are indeed at least fhd.
well, cinnamon works great on mint and fedora, and i have had less (none) gpu related issues on mint than i did even on windows. kde wouldn't play nice with my old pc components either and gpu is the only thing that i kept, so i would suspect it's some weirdness between my gpu and kde.
and too bad i can't go with amd because i need hdmi 2.1
well yeah i tried ubuntu a couple years back and i remember having some issues with it too.
weird thing is that mint has never had any issues even though it's based on ubuntu. not even nvidia related issues.
i know i'll get downvoted but this was my experience last time i tried kde a few weeks ago (kubuntu and fedora kde):
-
cool animations but stuttery as hell
-
browser randomly consuming 10% of cpu, making everything else slow as if it was using 100% (tested: firefox, librewolf, floorp, brave)
-
programs refusing to install
-
programs refusing to open
-
editing the taskbar often resulted in all the items going on top of each other, i couldn't move them until i rebooted. couldn't find an option to reset the whole thing
-
i put cpu and gpu temps in the system monitor and it always borked after it had been closed a few minutes
-
kded5 or something like that constantly popped up wanting to create a new wallet. couldn't figure out how to disable. guides pointed to a configuration file that didn't exist on my system
idk if it's an nvidia thing but none of these happen on other DEs
personally i find gnome to be kinda weird to use and kde has been so completely crippled with bugs and performance issues every time i have given it a shot (may be a skill issue on my end), that i still have to vote for gnome.
cinnamon ftw.
please be kidding because otherwise im a terrible person to have laughed my ass off to this 😂
so your wife likes bbc (big black cursor)
mint cinnamon because on my system it has no major issues and everything is easy to configure. i don't have a lot of spare time so i can't spend hours or even days troubleshooting why something won't install or run. most other distros have been annoyingly buggy or too difficult to set up.
i got it to draw this, made me pretty happy
