Your array sounds pretty average to be fair

This is point for point the conversation I had with my partner as well. I wish it wasn’t like this, but here we are.

A lot of the anti-car sentiment comes from urban, or European communities where population is a lot more dense.

Rural America will be the absolute lowest priority, because there are fewer people spread farther out. Anyone who wants to make someone feel bad about that is just a dick.

Who looks at this world and wants to bring life into it? I fundamentally cannot wrap my head arround that.

This is the main benefit. However, i’m finding the software I use requires less dependencies and libraries these days.

I barely even use flatpaks anymore. Almost everything is in official repos. I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a dependency conflict.

They haven’t done anything with that data yet*

While clearly the lesser evil in this moment, I wouldn’t count on that lasting forever.

Your question was “what?”. Appreciate the follow-up question though.

Wayland based tiling compositor

With the CLI guided install the barrier to entry is also super low now. The only thing I’m still battling is GPU video acceleration with Firefox.

Give CachyOS a shot

The problem is you used Debian which is missing bug fixes for KDE, and is on a frankly ancient 5.27 - I have had nothing but an awesome experience on KDE 6, with both VRR, and HDR, working under Wayland.

Recommend trying a rolling release
