I have gpt4all installed and just for kicks I just asked it three times “Who is Elias Thorne?” It gave me three different answers, including one answer claiming he’s a character from The Last of Us and another claiming he’s a character from Stranger Things.

I don’t know what the point of separate partitions for OS and userspace is, but whatevs…

Some folks like to be able to reinstall the OS while preserving /home. That’s the only reason I’ve seen for doing separate partitions. (I’m not someone who does that, but it’s the explanation I’ve seen)

EndeavourOS plus Plasma 6.

I don’t think I’ll ever use a distro that isn’t arch based again, and you can have KDE plasma when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. :)

You can only become a better writer by writing. Also your friend should be more supportive. Lastly, I’m sure a story like that will have no problem finding an audience.

EndeavourOS is very close to being vanilla arch with sane defaults. I run it on multiple machines and it’s rock solid.

I’ve been using Linux for twenty years. I didn’t use KDE until they declared Plasma 5 ready for primetime. (I hated Plasma 4, and didn’t like the look and feel of KDE 3.5 at all)

Since hopping on with Plasma 5 I have absolutely no interest in anything else. I love KDE Plasma and it just keeps getting better.

That’s me in OP.

Not only do I miss nothing from Windows, but also the decisions MS has made each and every year since I dumped them has only increased my conviction that I made the right move in doing so. Not one time have I read a MS/Windows headline and felt I was somehow missing out on anything I would ever want to be a part of.

I’d live the rest of my life with just a little more spring in my step knowing death wasn’t the end.
