It's really weird how preferences work.
A hundred years ago when I was first taught linux, they gave me a Suse. And though I like the available games, I never really warmed up to
#kde.
I don't remember when I encountered
#gnome, but for some reason that one was fine with me.
It's now 2024, once again I'm trying to leave windows for good (chances are really good this time!). I decided on
#LinuxMint because shit just works. But a friend has
#openSuse and is trying to sell me on it, and I have heard good things about it.
So I installed it on my netbook. It was just as easy (though it loses points when having to handle dual boot partitioning). Software I need is there. Yubikey is working, games are working (though since this is a netbook, I haven't tried the triple A ones).
Kde plasma objectively looks good, options are easily findable, it works well enough...
And I still dislike it. No idea why. 🤔
Sorry, opensuse. 🙈
