Why aren't you using the just werks distro? Stop distro hopping and using arch which will inevitably break like ONIONS smith says. If a distro breaks at all for any reason, It is a bad distro.

I'll tell you what I keep coming back to windows. First is Windows Firewall Control but I hope Opensnitch and eBPF come along to make that better.

Second and third, and I hope for suggestions here, is:

To open a program, I do [win key] p p [first letter of program] [second letter of program] using shortcuts that I placed in Programs -> p -> each letter of alphabet -> shortcuts with first letter cut off
Very fast, key combos fully determined by me, doesn't start searching files on disk, as easy as placing files in folders, don't need ctrl+alt+F1 through F12 or that kind of shortcut garbage

And to open any file I want:
[Win key]+e to open explorer window
[First letter or two of disk label] then enter
[First letter of folder] enter
And the whole time I'm seeing every file in the folder and which one is selected
Linux file managers are just not as compact, and my preferred view is sort by date descending, but keep all folders at the bottom of the files, if I want to go to them I'll type its name or use page down. IIRC mint gives you the option to put folders on TOP but NOT the option to put them at the bottom.

Call me whatever names you want and then tell me which linux file manager can be wrangled into doing these windows-like key navigations pls

Mint just werks, it's dumbass friendly. What did you expect user?

Just use Windows 7

i like fedora, mint is still downstream from noobuntu

I already use it.

Because Arch also just werks and doesn't ship with bloat.

No

Coming from arch, I got a dream, runs like butter. Really don't understand why people buy into such a meme

I would use fedora, unfortunately on my computers the install right before bootup always freezes. On some computers fedora just refuses to even boot and freezes before it gets into the live environment. Mint does neither. No debian distro has ever given me problems.

Mint with a proper KDE spin would probably be my endgame distro.

Not only do they not offer a KDE spin anymore, I don't even think they maintain the KDE packages anymore. The Plasma desktop suite on Mint 20.3 right now is 5.18 which I think is almost 3 years behind or some shit.

It's a shame because otherwise I vastly prefer Mint to Ubuntu, just due to Canonical's bullshit.

I used it for a month (I uninstalled the cinnamon desktop on my first day using it). It's alright but I went back after the new ltsc came out now I'm on that. On windows everything just works (and my driver doesn't crash after a reboot).
