After years of distro hopping, I had one to many updates which borked some driver & realized what I’m really looking for is my laptop should be boring stable appliance. Incredibly happy with it so far.

    What else can you even do with a computer besides managing files and running programs?

    Arch users: Update OS!
    Gentoo users: Compile OS!
    *BSD users: Trying to make the OS work!
    Windows: reboot and reinstall!
    Android: Watch advertisements!
    DOS: hm… Well. Yes.

      Which advertisements? (Genuinely curious, using Graphene OS and won’t switch back, when I still used normal Android there weren’t any ads yet)

          Interesting, apart from YouTube I have never used extra software that shows ads. Luckily projects like NewPipe exist for that, so the only place where I currently can’t avoid all ads is in the browser on my tablet (its an iPad so the browser sadly doesnt support ad blockers).
