Been willing to install elementary OS for years. I was waiting for the moment I got a Linux-enabled device. Got one today. Tried to install on the first occasion, and... it didn't work! Also, in the Live USB I found out there was no 125% scaling. Too bad!

Went with Linux Mint Cinnamon, for the third time in my life. Boring! But it has 125% scaling and actually got installed on the device. Not in the mood for distrohopping now.

Software Manager just hanged the entire computer. I'm kinda not used to that anymore...

OK I installed Fedora Workstation because I didn't want to spend time configuring graphics on Linux Mint. All this popular hate of GNOME was wrong, it actually looks nice, quite unlike a lot of DE:s.

Ok I'm a GNOME fanboy (for) now

@bouncepaw there are a lot of valid complaints or reasons not to use gnome, but I do like the recent versions quite a bit.
It seems to hit a sweet spot of simple to use without needing to tweak a ton of stuff. I have a lot of feature requests and nitpicks, but for everyday use, it annoys me less than most others! And it doesn't usually make me want to destroy my computer.

Distrohop to Guix, and you'll be tired for the rest of your life 👍

@bouncepaw but this was your chance to become a plan 9 user, or something typically fedi like that :p
