it’s crazy that the most reliable laptop I own is more than 10 years old

kde is pretty enough, it’s not exactly trendy but I feel they’re going the best they could do while keeping information density

is that on x11 or wayland? that works fine for me in wayland

if you’re doing kde then i think debian would make more sense (their netinstaller is very good)

your display is plugged into the gpu? then it should just work

I do this exact thing on my network so I know it works, but why are you trying to downgrade https to http? if you’ve set up dns-01 properly it should just work with https.

how did you configure dns-01?

and you to your parents’ basement?

every person of a particular age is the exact same, as we all know

they’re not unusable but you can definitely notice there’s some Google fuckery going on with them

the only sites ff is shit for is Google sites imo (e.g. earth and maps)

otherwise it’s fine

Forum software is like exactly what raw html/css was made for, i don’t understand the need for slow js bloat

when you fuck shit up you can’t really easily boot in from a usb drive and learn the recovery process

i personally wouldn’t recommend encrypted drive for a beginner though

fluxbox with alpine linux has been the most performant setup for me, all the wayland DEs were pretty sluggish

don’t do email until you know what you’re doing imo

what’s the ASHA protocol? I doubt other distros would support it if mint (basically Ubuntu) doesn’t support it

starlabs has one but really expensive

Sorry if I’m wrong, but I’m guessing the problem you have is:

• you’re used to Apple trackpads that are really good
• although other trackpads aren’t exactly unusable or worse in performance, you don’t want to use them because they feel worse

consider using a trackpoint instead of a touchpad, that way you don’t have a point of comparison for it to “feel worse” (trackpoint is superior anyway)

i have the same kinda thing with not wanting to give up my thinkpad keyboard, and ofc i don’t want a modern shitty laptop keyboard but I’ll probably have to swallow it some day

i don’t think there is even wifi support for the iPhone 7 though
