On Server

I couldn't make home out of my linux system. I want smooth tailored experience, but just because it's linux, i don't feel like simply using some popular DE and be done with it. I've tried glueing up together WM, terminal commands, application bars, clipboards etc to make my own UI and tune it to my liking, but it ended up janky shit. Glithes, bugs, a lot of rough edges in terms of usability, lack of features, no single unified design view or even appearance, etc. I thought to myself, what's the point then, i'll never be competent enough to really make something my truly own out of this bunch of "unix like" utils, much less make my own DE from scratch. Burnt out of constant tinkering and eventually went back to windows.

will you try again after win 10 EOL? and the many options of linux is a positv and a negative, especially if you try to mash togetherstuff from scratch

i'll try once again to make a useable system out of my nixos configuration and look towards something like AGS for declaring UI. I just got burnt out of trying to figure shit out for basic things like system tray or clipboard or power menu or lockscreen or anything

will check it out. thanks

All source code is in /usr/src.

You can learn how OSes work from reading the book, which is the primary documentation. It's even possible to add new system calls without too much work.

It's a nice comfy cope if you learn step by step and don't rush.

I did but it got boring pretty quick once my brain detected the game mechanisms

Linux is great, but have its shortcomings aswell. here is some pros and cons:

Pros:

-Freedom. YOU choose what software is on your device, YOU can review the source code, YOU choose what data gets collected, the device is YOURS

-Lightweight. Many Linux distros are or have lightweight options, meaning that you old device might run just as well if not better than with Windows.

-Cheap. Because of the lightweight nature of many Linux distros, you don't need too upgrade or buy a new device as often, saving you money in the long run.

-Community. Have a question? ask around and you will find many helpful individuals willing too help you. Even for the most specific issue, someone can help you

-Software. Lots of good software with many options too chose from

Cons:

-Software. Some software is still just available for windows, but there is still many alternatives available for Linux in most cases

-Community. Even if most Linux users are helpful, there is still assholes that will just tell you too read the manual.

-Learning. Nowadays majority of task can be done with the graphical user interface, but there is still something you have too do in the terminal

-Gaming. There is still some issues, but Valves Proton have fixed most issues, and most games run on Linux thanks of Proton, check Protondb for the games you play.

I have used Linux as my daily driver for Years now, for gaming, virtual machines, home servers and more. I have learned a lot, and some have been useful for work.

If you are just going to LDAR, why not try Linux?

Honestly I'm just too depressed to try now

But I do want to switch to Linux eventually
