Thats fair. I've jumped that ship a while back.
I checked and they seem to use wayland by default on gnome at least

Funny that the printer was the thing that cemented the shift. Ive either been really lucky or linux is much better than windows for printers

Havent installed debian with a desktop environment in a long time. If its still default then its just that, default... meaning you could change it

As the other reply said, Fedora and RHEL harbor the same problem as Ubuntu in terms of corporate backing.
They're all as stable at it gets when it comes to linux distros; all those "server distributions".

I guess people recommend debian because that's what they know. It's got the biggest community, so the most support.
Nothing against Rocky, but i wont recommend it if i've never used it.

Unstable is pretty damn stable, feels arch-y to me, and arch rarely has issues. If there are issues they're fixed fast.
Testing is the middle ground. Tested for a bit by unstable peeps but thats it.

People dont hate on ubuntu cause its inherently bad. They hate on it because its a corporate distro and they do some questionable stuff sometimes. The OS runs fine.

Why not debian unstable? Its better than ubuntu in pretty much every way imo. Somewhat less user friendly i guess.

The standard is to have dotfiles in your ~/.config folder, however not all apps follow that.
Some apps dump their config files in your home, others only have files in /etc or /usr and you have to copy them yourself to modify them

I do this with games. A lot of games dont even really get a demo anymore. So its gambling to buy it...
I pirate the games and if i like it i buy it. Generally ill keep playing the pirated version unless it has a multiplayer i want to play as well.

If you go further back in time you can get back to fairly queer friendly societies

When am i not under the influence?

The "annoyances" filters in ublock stop the cookie popups

That sort of thing is another great reason to love nix.
