Which distro did you stay on? I was trying Manjaro but Plasma had random freezes and stutters all the time, XFCE felt like an unfinished product and GNOME was even worse than XFCE. Solus Budgie gave me only black screens, and most others also didn’t run well on my old machine. Linux Mint runs stable so far and looks stunning and it also runs my games better than Windows 10 so that’s a win.

Linux Mint Cinnamon was next on my list but I didn’t know about Solus Budgie and that part about Gnome. Thanks, I’m still learning!

I’m using Manjaro Gnome since Plasma had random freezes and shutdowns and XFCE I just couldn’t warm up with it.

I’ve had the exact opposite happen. I’ve known Windows most of my life and now that I had to switch to Linux, I wanted to customize it. I was looking for a way to cycle through a whole background folder at random. In windows that was easy, just tell it to cycle through that folder. In Linux I couldn’t find any option, not even in the documenration. Skimming through the internet I was reading through threads and forums and they were talking about moving the pictures to /usr/shr/backgrounds but that’s not possible since its 20+GB. Then someone explained in length how to write .xml files with a link inside to point to one picture. One picture. The answers got weirder and crazier and by the time I came back to myself I was losing it.

This is actual good life advice thanks for that. Sucks it’s too much facts and not enough context though.
