People are talking about config issues doing this. When I do a reinstall, I just backup my dotfiles and let them rebuild. I usually don’t have to restore many of them, just for a few apps I know I want the config for.

I’ll definitely be sad, it’s a website I’ve truly grown up alongside

I’ve been using Linux desktop as a daily driver for a little under 10 years now and I’m still discovering ways I could be doing things better. There isn’t some magic tutorial that somebody can give you here which will suddenly have you as competent with Linux as you are with Windows. Try things, break things, when things break, look into what you can do to fix them. Keep system snapshots and backups of your personal files so you don’t have any data loss if things go wrong. And snapshots are useful for unfucking a system that you’ve just fucked.

Sorry if you don’t want to hear this, but you kinda have to figure it out yourself. Thankfully, for specific issues and questions, there is a ton of material out there, and people are generally pretty happy to help.

Been using it exclusively for a couple years on all AMD. Not zero issues, but issues I’ve had are minor.

Windows for a long time before I knew what OSes were. I never liked how locked down MacOS is so I’ve never used that. Then I tried Ubuntu in college, mostly to play with. Then tried Arch, fucked up my system a couple times and reinstalled, then tried Manjaro because I’d heard it was more stable and less fuss. And now I’m back on Arch. I think I’ve finally mostly figured it out over the last decade lol, I haven’t had a problem with my install in years.

I’ve got both Samba and NFS set up. I’d say Samba is the most versatile, just because more devices are bound to be compatible with it out of the box. I have an app on my phone I can use to connect to it, for example. And it obviously works with Windows machines. NFS is very simple to set up and nice and speedy. But I only use it for a couple permanent shares for specific things between Linux machines. You could always use a mix. I have a directory that’s shared with both.

I’ve never configured Kerberos I think, might’ve tried once in the past. From what I understand it’s a pain to set up and really more useful for enterprise environments. But could be fun to configure if you’re into tinkering with that sort of thing.

Also curious. I’ve had a couple drives on my server machine mounted to /mnt/data and /mnt/data1 for years now (ignore my lazy naming conventions) and I’ve had zero problems.

Remember that you’re often talking to teens on the internet, lol. And for them it’s more of a peer pressure thing. Apple got em good.

It’s become really sleek looking too. When I first started using it the UI looked kinda clunky.

I like yakuake, I’m spoiled by the drop-down terminal at this point

Arch will go into emergency mode whenever it can’t mount a volume in fstab on boot. If the drive is formatted as NTFS, I’ve had this exact problem. I think it has to do with windows marking the drive as dirty. I didn’t bother figuring out what the problem was, I just stopped trying to mount an NTFS drive on boot. Maybe you’d have better luck using the ntfs-3g driver?

I can also attest to this. And apparently kde support for Wayland is supposed to get way better with plasma 6 in February.

I like corectl for overclocking and whatnot. But as far as I know there isn’t something similar to Nvidia control panel on windows

I almost exclusively use Yakuake nowadays. I like the drop down terminal.

Oh my god I hate this, I had no idea

As far as uni workflow goes, I don’t know what you do, but LibreOffice worked just fine for me in college for papers and such. Sheets is definitely inferior to excel if you’re doing serious spreadsheet work, but Writer works perfectly fine as a Word clone for simple word processing. My professors never commented on it.
