Back in the day I used some smaller distros. Sabayon and Archbang both come to mind.

There is always some issue I run into that makes me angry and go back to Windows. Usually it is some random issue that breaks my installation at the most annoying time that I don’t have time to fix.

I’ve tried twice recently to mainly run Linux on my laptop (Framework) and ran into compatibility issues. First, the wireless card in my laptop worked on the installed kernel version for their recommended distro (Fedora), but when I updated the OS it upgraded to a kernel that didn’t have the Wifi driver. The other distros I tried had other hardware that didn’t work. I tried again a few months ago and that was fixed, but then I discovered that two pieces of software I need to run cannot coexist because one had graphical issues if you don’t use Wayland and the other only supports xorg. No issues running the same combination of software in Windows.

Depends on where I am and what time it is.

At home during the day: Paradigm SE3 speakers

At home early or late: Focal Elear headphones

On the go: Etymotic ER3XR IEMs

Most of the time the downvotes I would get on Reddit are on topics where I disagreed with a couple of the early people and they downvoted. This would cause a cascade of people piling on. Other times I could make essentially the same comment and get lots of upvotes.

Not a big deal either way, it is boring to always be aligned with everyone else as long as you are open to constructive discussions about it.

Agreed, I’m in the demographic as well and mostly get science education and cooking videos recommended to me. I’ll get the occasional political video but they are definitely more left wing channels.

Yes, in Canada the tap water is generally safe to drink. In my city the water is incredibly good to the point where filtering it is completely pointless as it is all rainwater that gets stored in a few reservoirs on the local mountains.
