This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

To not get anything done except setting up the OS till 3am

Doing my first linux install on a main PC (after a decade of managing a headless server). Honestly, getting the trackpad to scroll at the right speed has been something of a hobby of mine lately.

I don’t appreciate getting called out like that

most "just works" distros have really intuitive installers though, I'd even say it's easier than windows, if not for the mandated Microsoft bullshit on all computers by default like secure boot and TPM

"First boot is so much quicker than Windows!"

"Wanna talk about the setup that comes after that to get everything working as it should?"

"Oh no, we don't talk about that."

Yeah, you fire up a brand new Windows PC, spend a few minutes creating an account etc, then leave it to it's own devices for an hour or so to update itself.

It's really not a big deal.

Or you could useArch and spend a few days just for installation
