      Exactly… People hanging on to windows for dear life pretending like they had to “learn” windows

      Indeed. A cellphone with google search opened in a browser is all you need.

                yeah i guess but wouldn’t you need a usb a to c adapter and a powered usb hub and a external power supply?

                or are keyboards power efficient enough that you don’t need one?

    To use it as your daily driver and (learn to) deal with whatever issues and question you may face? That’s how I did it ;)

    The problem with ArchWiki is that not everybody uses Arch. Some distros (like Fedora) do things diffrently and Arch solution do not work.

      Some stuff in the arch wiki applies to other distros, but not always.

      It’s excellent for learning, though. When I started using Linux I had no idea what the differences between distros were. Having to “translate” or adapt solutions from the ArchWiki to Debian, Fedora, etc. taught me a lot about using Linux and how my computer worked.

    The best way to learn Linux for ne was to make comparison table to all the distros and to look for what I want to make decision. Whenever I got questions, I asked ChatGPT. Then, the biggest step, was just using it. As my Daily Driver. I tried dual booting / a second “tinkering laptop” and it did just not work for me.

    Now I am happy and keep learning all the small details.

    Feels like when I was young and got my first PC.
