Gnome is a bit of a different animal these days, I get it that it won’t fit everyone’s use case.

Windows 10 requiring sign in only made me start using Tiny10 but even then I figured if end of life was happening, I may as well settle into using my favourite distribution. I love the feeling of Fedora but I have to use Arch for its incorporation of Deepin stuff.

My WiFi on arch is so all over the place when it connects to my phone hotspot. Connects, disconnects, “oh what’s the password again?” Otherwise router based WiFi is fine.

Actually the Bluetooth is somewhat even more reliable than the Windows one. And it waits for you to connect manually instead of auto connecting to that one speaker you happen to have on.

Gnome is pretty well integrated with everything, especially with extensions to make up for less features in stock gnome than kde.

In 2006 my university used Ubuntu, I thought ‘Wow, this is different!’ Tried it out on my own computer but I was a heavy gamer so windows was the best option (hey, Win7 pretty alright anyway!)

Fast forward to about 2022, I try it again but it’s not getting incorporated well with my program usage in school (as a teacher).

Fast forward to 2024, worked out that Tencent software is on AUR (teacher in Mainland China) and I figure I’m doing another dive. So far, so good. Little itty bitty glitches especially with Libreoffice but I’m getting by without touching Win10.

Fedora, so most Gnome based distros. KDE as commented beside me. Arch-based EndeavourOS.
