I am weird 😆11 -
Eyyyy, finished installing and it even looks like I didn't fuck anything up.
Will reboot now to see that it's actually installed and works.
Was less complicated than the wiki made it look.

OOF
It's been a full month. Today's my last with Debian.
Funnily enough, I was so looking forward to switching off from Ubuntu, but I'm almost sad switching away from Debian.
Which is kinda weird for me, before that I kinda assumed they'd be the same thing, and "If you see one you see all the rest"
Apparently I was wrong. I thought Ubuntu being "Debian based" basically just means "Debian with extra steps"
But holy fuck was Debian just more stable and less annoying.
Tomorrow: Elementary OS. Have a few friends who are Apple fans, and use Macbook with macOS as their main system, so I wanna try elementary to see if it's worth suggesting in case they ever get tired from Apple.1 -

So after accidentaly using Arch for 5 months, and then accidentally using Gentoo for 7 months
(It was supposed to be 1 month per distro, but life happened and didn't have the time and peace of mind for a switch)
Today I'm finally hopping to Slackware
I love the setup's retro/classic ncurses gui <3

So this is my last few days with Linux Mint, I will miss you buddy. Either tomorrow or the next day(Switch day is the 10th but I don't know if that's what I want to spend my Friday on, so I'll probably do it a day ahead of schedule) I will be switching to *looks up my distrohop list*, oh boy, Arch Linux. And after reading the installation page on the Arch website, I am now a bit terrified xD
Well, here's to hoping I don't accidentally format my /home partition lmao -
Me in a Nutshell 😅
An Xubuntu user...
Wants to hop out of debian zone..
Does not like rolling release cycle..
Out of box support for proprietary s/w..
Argues with self and tries Manjaro..
Falls back to Xubuntu
End of distro hop 😇 -
to all linux users out there, what distro are you using? On Friday I decided to hop on the linux train again since then I'm distro hopping ... so far I tried openSuse, fedora, manjaro. Didn't like openSuse (maybe its just KDE) fedora froze after boot couldn't get it to work and manjaro had tearing with free and nonfree drivers ... so next one will be ubuntu, let's see how this goes.6
