What are these "solutions" you speak of? All help forum posts must follow this format:

"I want to do x."

"Why would you want to do x? Don't do x.".

It's easy to forget, the anti-vax movement used to be predominantly left. It only became popular on the right in the last ten to fifteen years.

Your old, dusty computer has better specs than anything I own. It'll run any DE just fine.

16th century England wasn't even capitalist. It was mercantilist-- strong central control over a zero-sum economic system focusing primarily on lopsided international trade as the means of building wealth.

So, uh, I don't know how to tell you this, but it sounds like you're an addict. You should consider taking days off from your phone. Like, 100% powered off. The false sense of urgency your phone provokes destroys your productivity and makes you less happy. You gotta unlearn that reflex.

If that's Yoshi's biggest gripe, wait till he discovers Kaizo.

Good. I don't need light in the evening, I need it in the morning so I can wake up feeling rested. End DST; make standard time permanent.

I know this is a bit of a necro-bump, but Today I Found Out just released a video answering exactly this question: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=ipDdWx67H9M

Aside from your preference for debian-based distros, you're describing Garuda pretty well. But the chaotic-AUR is enabled by default, so you'd never need to hunt for .deb files in the first place. And the update script, "garuda-update", has a bunch of nice features by default, like taking snapshots and running grub-update (which would have prevented the grub fiasco that hit the arch-based distros a while back).

The only pain points are 1.) If you don't like Garuda's theming, you'll need to do some minor ricing to start, and 2.) Plasma 6 updates often enough that on a rolling release distro, something minor about your setup might break once every few months, e.g. KDE allows themes to set a minimum taskbar size and all of a sudden your taskbar increases in size, or your wallpaper gets reset for some reason.

Pretty much any distro can do everything you want. But since you liked crunchbang, consider Mabox. It's an openbox distro based on Manjaro with a bunch of QoL improvements like super+arrow to tile a window, or their own little fork of jgmenu to expand the functionality of the tint2 panel, plus some custom ricing tools. I'm not saying it's the best distro ever, but it might give you just the right nostalgic feels.

I guess RAM is a bell curve now.

  • 32GB: Enough.
  • 16GB: Not enough.
  • 8GB: Not enough.
  • 4GB: Believe it or not, enough.
