I personally view crypto and the crypto boom as an experiment in unfettered capitalism - it's still a new technology, the governments haven't caught up to it yet so no regulations, yet quite literally 99% of crypto usage was in trying to take advantage of others (scams) and speculation.

The only thing with actual value that came out of crypto was probably Monero, which allowed for completely anonymous payments, something that crypto, when paired with crypto exchanges, is bad at.

Your username says a lot about you and explains why your brain cannot comprehend a disagreement.

The fact that you're calling me out on not being able to "comprehend a disagreement" while spending hours typing out comments that basically say "lalala I win" filled with personal insults shows 0 self-awareness. If you cannot comprehend the concept of "being respectful" and acting like a rabid dog on any disagreement, the problem is with you.

That being said, you going for personal attacks instead of actually debunking what I said shows that your argument is, quite frankly, shit. Don't pretend like you're unaware of this.

I mean, your argument basically boils down to "you can't complain, others have it worse", which is a toxic take. Should a person who lost a leg not be allowed to complain because someone in the world has lost two legs, and therefore is an annoyed spoiled brat who still has a leg? Should the only people allowed to complain be people on the verge of death, since they're the people who are the worst off? Does the argument work in reverse as in "you can't be happy, others have it better"?

It could be mostly steamdeck users, but for me arch is the only distro that works well. You know what you install which makes troubleshooting easy, and it's documented very well.

One of the things I really dislike about Linux is how when setting up, there's a bunch of things you need to troubleshoot, look them up on the forums even though you haven't really done anything wrong, it's just how some software works or there's a bug or there's some weird setting that's incompatible with your system.

I wish there were better defaults for software in the future or just better compatibility/more bugfixes so these cases get rarer and rarer, making it comparable to initial windows experience.

Surprised to see JS so high up, I expected for it to be much closer to PHP.

Probably a lot of people are going to be like "why didn't anyone do anything about this????", completely forgetting that's happening right now, with likely the same people being climate deniers.

As someone who's been using Linux for 3 years, the amount of bullshit I have to go through to make some of the games/modding tools work properly or having to look up launch commands for almost every game so it runs well enough definitely makes gaming harder compared to Windows "works out of the box" experience.

Linux desktop too isn't that much better than Windows except in privacy and security. In terms of ease of use, it's sometimes on-par with Windows but seeing how you need to troubleshoot stuff when setting up and potentially at update time, it's insane to call Linux 10 times easier.

sway on wayland (the only WM that doesn't crash even though it lacks a lot of features), awesomewm on xorg (fast and very customizable, but has quirks)

I'm someone who doesn't consent to data collection when it comes to choices given by GDPR - if I visit a new website and I get the popup that says how they value my privacy, I'm always going to customize the settings and have everything disabled.

However, as of "recently" a lot of websites have added a "legitimate interest" button which as far as I understand is a loophole, and unlike the other advertising options, they're not checked off by default which is annoying.
