Hardware has come up a few times in this post now. Seems I should share a bit about what I'm running ๐Ÿ™‚

I bought an ASUS ROG Strix GA15DK just over 2 years ago. The hardware was shiny but not top-tier at the time. It's not new at this point but also not old by Linux standards.

  • AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Processor
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
  • 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM

Ooohhhh I like that idea for testing! Thanks for the tip and the recommendation!

Well this is much more commentary than my post deserved :)

Thanks for all the input! If only I could give more than one upvote. Much appreciated!

Redhat :)

At least, that's where most of my experience is. But now I'm working for a contracting company so I use whatever distros are made available by clients.

Thanks! Especially for the "You described EndeavourOS" comment. This helps me a lot. I'll give it a close look!

If it wasn't already known, I currently have no real opinions on various distros. But within a day or so, there will be one correct answer and all other distros will be simply evil! :)

Thanks! I'm aware of it and updated my post with a comment on it. I'll add these to my short list!

Ha yes! It's within my ability to research and choose... but that would cost more time than I want to pay. I'm definitely appreciating the input from the crowd.

Thanks for the info! Thanks also for the link! I wasn't aware of the mastodon account ๐Ÿ™‚

So if you don't mind sharing, what happened?

I just started using Firefox focus on ios about a week ago. It has ad block baked in and works great! Again I'm using ios so there's the whole "every browser is safari" nonsense to complicate this data point.

Same for me. My team spans 4 time zones and I'm in the eastern one
