I have tried to learn Linux for ages, and have experimented with installing Arch and Ubuntu. Usually something goes wrong when I try to set up a desktop environment after installing Arch in VirtualBox. KDE gave me a problem where I couldn’t log in after getting to the point where my username was displayed in a similar format to how it is for Windows. My end use case is to help keep my workflow more organized than haphazardly throwing files somewhere on my desktop or in a folder nested somewhere that I’ll just inevitably lose :(
Somehow after all this time, I feel like I actually understand less about my computer and what I need to understand regarding its facets. Is it an unrealistic goal to want to eventually run a computer with coreboot and a more cybersecurity heavy emphasis? I’m still a noob at this and any advice would be appreciated!
I’m sorry if I offended you, I shouldn’t have used adjectives in my choice of words. But I didn’t mean to say POP was archaic, I wanted to say their Gnome desktop was. For me, a subjective, personal view, the difference between 42 and 44 is very noticeable. I’m using Arch, and I got really anxious seeing Ubuntu getting a newer Gnome before Arch. I want the latest DE version as soon as possible, as it vastly impacts my gaming and working experience. FSR, Fractional Scaling, VRR, HDR, Color management, etc. As soon as there’s some progress on that, I want it for yesterday.
pop has to wait for Ubuntu, who has to wait for Debian. It will never satisfy my personal needs. My only other choice would be Gentoo, another rolling release.
