Fedora did not last long. It was fine. I may try it again. So I got wacky and installed CachyOS with GNOME. It’s the #1 distro on DistroWatch because it’s fast and modern and such. The install was easy. The software manager looks a little rudimentary, but it works. I’ll probably switch again, even if just the Desktop Environment (DE) to KDE Plasma, because GNOME just doesn’t appeal to me. I think it’s because it spreads its UI elements all over the place, which is fine on an old 19″ monitor but maybe not so much on a widescreen 32″ one. And yes, I could just try installing Plasma onto the current CachyOS by reciting the proper incantations, but I’m fine with just wiping and starting over. I am beginning to get a good feel for what I want in a Linux distro by constantly switching, though. Things I like in a Linux distro: Hassle-free installer and support for dual boot setups Easy to use update manager Comprehensive software manager/store Good set of built-in tools and utilities…
