" KdeConnect": Notifications, messages, clioboard sharing, link sharing, remote control of your pointing.device, keyboard, command inputs on computer... When it works it's great, but it is hit-and-miss between distros and updates catching up.

They are both on Mastodon. Lina just posted an updated list of games, there's a ton of them

I'd argue that it may come to that, given the poor availability of (steam) games for the macos platform. And when it is available, you may end up with a disclaimer that it may not run anyway.

An AUR package has been done for Arch by (supposedly) someone who knows what they are doing and needs it on their Arch Machine

A Flatpak is something done by someone, to (supposedly) work everywhere, untested on Arch, that may or may not work. And crash (Ardour on Asahi). Or waste hours or you life to render files incorrectly (kdenlive on arch and asahi).

Native versions work perfectly.

I thought I was clever in using arch/aur for everything, but pull KDE or QT apps from Flatpak to keep my gnome install a bit more tidy... For this, you'd have to have those Flataks to work, and sometimes they don't.

I assumed OP plugged himself in some hidden serial port (like cars' obd2) and the washing machine had indeed a tpm to prevent bootleg/non original spare parts.

The human mind can be the deepest well of imagination sometimes. I'm a bit too good at that o.Ô

T410? Woah! I still mourn the death of my 420 with it's Dome Light and rugged looks

I hope yours stay on, and on, and on!

My wife has a T480s on standard 2022 LTS Ubuntu, it is a machine old enough to not need the latest edgy mint ; a friend of mine has had to install it on his 2023 X1 tho.

Standard Mint will do fine. Default DE is boring as hell, be sure to look at others like Gnome. I love Gnome.

Also, using "live" USB keys OP can try several distros and check what they find more attractive in the default state of a distro.

PopOS, Elementary, Fedora, Tumbleweed... So many of them.

I say Tumbleweed is best because of the perfect, seamless integration of BTRFS / Snapshotting / Rollback system. It is truly the best way to dip your feet into Linux and get it back working in a single click when you (inevitably) fuck up.

Funny story the other way around: the year is 2002 and I live in Laos. Bootlegs Everything Galore, all movies games music cost $1 or about. I discover a game, and then begins a quest to buy The Real Version because it's a small studio and I really like it all, the storytelling, the modding tools, the community... A quest that would end up in Bangkok looking like the proverbial insane foreigner looking for the most stupid way to spend his money.

I found it eventually, in a shop that didn't look any different among all its brothers in Pantip Plaza. Took me a while lol.

I know everybody always grandly takes on the High Seas, sailing them with lots of "arrrr“ and stuff, but I've found that small, quick flowing rivers oftentimes do yield a good catch.

BRB, got a dotfile to edit real quick

That's how I was on Slackware at the time. Reputable, functional, stable - and totally tailorable to your exact needs.

Everybody talks about Arch as a "pedagogic" distro, but you'll learn a lot working with Slackware. I wonder if Lilo is still around.

Of course. . ...I was wrong and it is tldr not rtfm.

https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

But surely you heard about TheFuck?

https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

There's actually an rtfm package in Arch's aur, but it just opens the archwiki for you which just adds that tiny bit of... of That Arch Way Of Doing Things I guess.
