How will it ever be YOTLD if basic functionality requires tedious troubleshooting to fix?

2024 is not YOTLD and you know it.

If your brother now identifies as a female you're free to play pretend too and call him your "sister", but he doesn't have to use Linux just because of the "trannies on Linux" meme.

Devuan and XFCE, stop it with the half measures.

Devuan/Debian/Ubintu is literally:

All the time, just dont use shitbian, simple as.

>>101541207
Never happened when I operated Devuan. It's been four years of desktop use for me and zero such problems.
Ubuntu is more messy and harder to fix in my experience.

Should've installed Lubuntu.

You're getting the full Linux experience, you should be grateful

I have been using GNU/Linux for 4-5 yars now, and my workflow has never been better.

dwm, luakit, vim have improved my coding speeds wayy more than Windows, VSCode and Firefox did.

granted, I ran into a shit ton of bugs and problems along the way, learnt stuff the hard way too.

Also lagging? Did you forget to install nvidia drivers from the software sources app or does she have like 2 gb of ram?

Fedora. It just werks.
I used to recommend and use Ubuntu but it's fallen off miserably.
>>
>>101539205
Sir, post bobs of sister kindly thank you.

>>101541291
I guest you just use your computer for browsing /g then

Also devuan is pontless when you can set up normal debian with openrc.
