EMPRESS, a video game cracker sent me here. Too bad she left afterwards, I stayed after I discovered how it fits my needs exactly.

how do you turn this on

Susumu Hirasawa disliked that

I have no strong feelings one way or the other

I’m fine with either, i understand why some countries ban it and why some don’t. However if legalised, it absolutely has to be regulated very seriously. People working on that field need to be protected against abusive workplace conditions that can occur. If the govt cannot provide that protection, it’s better to outright ban it.

Am Pop_OS user, can confirm the fixes are merged really fast on it.

Ah yes, the colt

I wouldn’t reccomend using a tiling WM like i3/Sway as your first experience at all, they need a lot of previous knowledge to operate properly, they’re purposefully left incomplete for users to fill exactly what they want to fill it with.

From what you described GNOME seems pretty good for your use case, but the problem you described on COSMIC could be an isolated problem on its own and could be fixed if you installed a different file manager.

As for the distro, fedora could be a good choice, but if you liked arch based distros you can go with them too.
