What's the best Linux distribution for an ADHD brained 3dfag? Debian minimal netinstall?

I just want to run a distribution with only the bare essentials to focus on and keep track of, to pick and choose my desktop environment, window manager, programs as I see fit, and a way to install and update drivers along with other software. And most importantly, run as fast as possible.

I really hate it when stuff slows down my computer unnecessarily or clutters it, especially without a way to use diagnostic tools to monitor what my computer is doing at any given time.

On Ubuntu I install "unifont" since it has full coverage of Unicode.
If cytube needs symbols from the private range, then try to install font-awesome.
If that still doesn't solve it then install a nerdfont:

The described process creates an isolated, debloated system by stripping security features and update mechanisms. This results in a fragile, insecure configuration vulnerable to exploits, requiring high manual maintenance and offering no real-world advantage over a properly managed installation.
>>
Doesn't disabling updates kind of ruin the point of using LTSC? If you just want to get rid of the UWP apps that's a one-liner post-install. And some software will refuse to run on LTSC so don't use it unless you're gonna use it. My whole apartment building is one LAN so I'm not going to run unpatched code lol

Thanks for this anon, I never knew it was capable of that. The shortcut I had to use was Ctrl+Shift+F though.

From what I can tell you can't seem to search within the results, like you can with N++, however. There's an option to show the results in another tab, but Kate doesn't seem to allow you to do any search within that new tab.

Not a huge dealbreaker, but in a work scenario being able to search within the results is incredibly useful for parsing error logs.

thanks for BTFOing that retards with muh double, tripple hit subpixels.

How ever now I wonder how much is true to their silly store.

The main point is this: if one subpixel is hit one time by a normal scanline, versus 1 time on top by 1/3 very narrow scaline, then not in middle, and then again at bottom by 1/3 line, then do we simply get a pixel that lights up with 2/3 of normal intensity, or does indeed the subpixel glow in a tiny pattern of filled top and bottom but not-filled darker middle?
>>
>>107832821
>CRTs have no native res so they're sharper.
Can I draw a red grid where each cell is 1/10000th of a mm (if I would hookup some super high frequency signal/decoder/gun control)? at very least it will have gaps in the area where green subpixel is.
