I’ve been on and off with Linux for about 15 years and just want to counter some of the people trying to troubleshoot or criticize to say: it can be really tough.

We need our computers to work and we expect things to function correctly.

I’ve used dozens of distros over the years. I was a super early Arch adopter, mained Gentoo for about three years, ran my own BSD server for programming projects, and still maintain several small home Linux servers. And even I sometimes want to pull my hair out trying to get semi-new hardware working right in my distro of choice. I spent three hours today fighting Nvidia and sound drivers and eventually just had to give up on that machine after being told that what I want just flat out isn’t supported in Linux on the hardware I have.

Take a breath, set it aside until you’re ready to take another crack at it, and know that it’s a journey. You’ll get there or the software will catch up and meet you halfway. No shame in being frustrated :)

It was cheap but effective! Also thanks, always nice to find another DF fan.

Ha, yeah it is indeed officially licensed. Imo one of the cooler things they done with the license.

Pretty good! Uses Kailh Jellyfish X switches, which are new to me. The other one of these I have used Kailh box whites. In comparison these feels a little smoother maybe but still clicky.

Yeah, I could see it
