3/4 years. Experience has been good.

Clockwork Orange

I avoid it like the plague. Only a few people know my stance and as far as I am aware of its only people that interact with me outside of the internet. I’m not looking to change my mind and others aren’t either. Changing one person to my thinking won’t change anything and me changing to someone else’s thinking won’t change anything.

Unfortunately at the time I posted this from my mobile device so had no access to logs etc. Now that I’m up in running already aware of needing to give more information than I did. Thanks for your response as it led me to revisit the step where I missed installing essential packages and installing NetworkManager.

I actually just did a fresh install and looks like I overlooked adding essential programs step in the wiki. I added iwd before but I also just added NetworkManager. Also thought it best to just put a DE on it instead only running a WM, (I’m normally a awesome wm user on Debian). Before I was going straight from grub install completion to tty. After I started NetworkManager pinging to archlinux.org worked. Maybe sometime I can try to install it again but leave out the DE and see if it was just as simple as leaving out NetworkManager. Not sure of installing a DE would have provided needed programs for my situation or not.

I have yet to find a need to go outside of the Debian repos.

Locate command. I know it’s a command in thw terminal but since I had to apt install it I’m adding it here.

I absolutely love it.

Online trends I saw on the internet was the reason I hopped around multiple terminals. Use case for me it made no difference.

There’s 4 other terminals I did enjoy using but xterm became my go to after I got tired of hopping around.

Xterm for me. As others have shown there are other ones that are newer than that but Xterm has become my favorite.

Emacs

If your a chess fan, Scid vs PC is regularly updated and it’s hosted on sourceforge. However I don’t go there unless it’s for that or other related projects.

Dust0741 my apologies. As others rightly pointed out I didn’t answer appropriately and deleted the postt… You won’t be able to get the latest kde on Debian. You could look at Sid or Testing but I don’t know if they ship that. I dont use Sid or Testing so I couldn’t help you if they do.

Awesome was always my favorite window manager.

For me it’s the ability to use my hardware as long as I want after a tech company’s EOL. When I was on Windows 7 and it reached EOL my machine was unusable. Couldn’t go back because I waited to long. Then I updated my machine and Windows 10’s EOL was set and again, machine will be not be safe to use. I switched to Linux before that release date but the way Microsoft does with these EOL dates, for me isn’t sustainable. I dont need to buy a new machine every few years. I want my machines to be a usable and secure for as long as I want it to with minimal impact to my finances and stop simply just throwing old machines away. And if I run into a distro that my machine isn’t beefy enough for, I have distro-hopped around enough to be able to go to something else but still be in the Linux-verse.

The stuff like, better for privacy, open source etc., those benefits came after.
