In my storm and stress phase, I tried many things, but nowadays I tend to choose boring technology when it comes to work, for me that is Ubuntu or Debian with XFCE4 Desktop. On my personal System I currently run Omarchy though.

I tried Omarchy to explore Hyprland, Waybar, and similar tools. I'd seen them in beautifully riced tiling desktops and wanted to experience that myself. Mainly, I wanted an opinionated, different desktop experience to break from my usual setup. Next time I reinstall, I'll probably take my custom Hyprland and Waybar configs and move to a Debian/Ubuntu-based system. Have you had the opportunity yet to play around with Omarchy?
Upon further reflection, creating a sense of missing out on something is the essence of modern marketing.
I spent some time looking into what Omarchy has become since I installed it on my system, and I donโ€™t think I like it anymore. ^^ Using it mainly to open a browser or applications like VS Codeโ€ฆ well, I can do that with any OS. But the whole โ€œAI-firstโ€ direction, DHH, and everything surrounding it are making me reconsider. Iโ€™ll probably migrate away from it soon. #bummernotesfollow

I use Ubuntu with the default Gnome Desktop. I like it a lot and it just works. I've been using it since the beginning. It is not perfect (what distro is?) but it works fine for me.

Same here except I landed on fedora with default gnome desktop. The old desktops I ssh into are Debian though. Edit: spelling fix I to -> into

Arch, because I feel you cannot use Linux without knowing how it works, and sway for window manager because it is highly stable, wholly keyboard driven, and tiling

Arch Linux with KDE. I like that Arch comes with nothing and is pretty vanilla. No bloat, and customisable. No major upgrades where 5 things break at once. Install once, and it's fine until the device has to be replaced. Only then usually do a fresh install. It's up to date, still pretty boring, and you learn a bit in the process.

i distro hoped a lot. Finally i found my cozy home with debian with kde. 3 years still running without a problem all the software i use works perfectly and the games run smoothly.

Very nice! Isnโ€™t a single asterisk each side for italics, and two each side for bold? Even Markdown is hard to define these days. ๐Ÿ˜…

Different followings/ers as well. You could always do a new account with a new email to do that, so nothing is new here. It's just an easier way to make a different new account.

turns out there is accesskeyMDN Web Docsaccesskey HTML global attribute - HTML | MDNThe accesskey global attribute provides a hint for generating a keyboard shortcut for the current element. The attribute value must consist of a single printable character (which includes accented and other characters that can be generated by the keyboard). so for now โ€˜wโ€™ works for jumping right to โ€˜writeโ€™ and โ€˜pโ€™ for posting when youโ€™re there. Can add more if needed. They need modifier key(s) in front (Alt on Chrome, Control+Option on Safari), etc (theyโ€™re documented in the link above).
