As a DWM user I won’t be moving for a long time. Yes I know about DWL, but it dosnt have half the patches I use yet.
I do like the lower amount of screen tearing on Wayland, but I’ve minimised it in Xorg.

Honesty at this point I don’t really care about Linux becoming mainstream. I mean call me elitist, but I feel like if it became a major desktop operating system a lot of the development would turn to making sure it’s safe for IT illiterate people to use.
Part of why I love Linux so much is as someone who actually has a decent idea of what I’m doing I feel like the operating system leaves me alone to do what I want with my own computer.
Do you really think if everyone started using Linux you’d still be able to delete the boot loader or wipe your whole installation with one command.
Of course not! They would have to fit 10 million safety features and limit a ton of what the user can do just like Windows and MacOS.
So as much as I love Linux I think it’s best being left as an advanced power users desktop operating system.
st. Fonts look great and I’ve even been able to add a vim mode for scrollback including selecting and copying text.
If I need something fast( usually on a new system) that’s in most distros repos and automatically installs all it’s dependencies( and doesn’t have to many like gnome terminal and konsole) I tend to use sakura, though xfce terminal is also pretty good.
Don’t you mean coreboot, as the point of Libreboot is that it’s a coreboot distro that’s as open and libre as possible
Nitrokey would probably be my choice as both the hardware and software are open source( in fact you could probably build your own if you wanted to). I don’t trust yubikey as the firmware that runs on them is closed source so you just don’t know of it’s actually secure.
“I USE ARCH BTW” there can’t have a distro discussion without that.
It’s not the thinnest thing ever, but I find my old ThinkPad X230 very light and easy to use for extended periods on my lap
My point exactly. Even a website can behave differently on different operating systems
But yeah the way development tools like git just integrate perfectly into the OS is amazing, and the way you can get tools and libraries just by asking your package manager for them is invaluable.
It’s the best for a primary OS, but unfortunately you if you make apps or desktop programmes you will probably still need a windows machine, or a Mac, or both. For me I have a windows VM and an old modded mac for those OS’s.
Though interestingly probably the best machine for cross platform development would be a new-ish tri booted intel Mac with Linux as your main OS.
Edit: just for the record I use a Thinkpad T430 as my main work computer.

The link literally begins with track…
It doesn’t quite fit your fixed release requirement, but have you checked out void? It’s like arch, but has no systemd and it’s more stable then arch
Didn’t they get at least the kernel running on a Nintendo 64
Kitty, though I have been looking into st as I recently switched to dwm.
If you look at FOSS it doesn’t just mean it’s free. Any WordPress plugin you get from the official repos with have a GPL licence, so you are free to look at and modify all the code and even repackage and sell your own version under the same terms. That’s the joy of the GPL
This! Set up virt manager or Virtual Box, then you can try all the distros you want
