Tbh i think the hypeland configuration solved pretty much all that for me.
The project has been renamed and changed maintainer since but its still very much alive if anyone wants to check it out.

I had never seen a tiling window manager before and my only experience on Linux was a little ubuntu server to run my Minecraft server from.
I installed arch using archinstall a few years ago just because i got sold on a custom hyperland config, never looked back.
I have yet to understand what the fuss is all about with it being difficult or not new user friendly.
Yes there are weekly updates, and on occasion they do break something, but that was never different on windows.
I stream from self hosted sources, best of all worlds. No enshitification.
New media is acquired for free from the public libraries and then ripped, which under my local laws is perfectly legal.
First I hear of if but a quick scroll shows it mostly to organize an existing collection so you would still need to download.
I put them straight into jellyfin which works fine for me.
I wont be home till quite a few hours.
But also its general boilerplate enough an ai can help you get you one according to your own preferences.
There are also a number of examples online.
This one looks pretty interesting https://github.com/panchi64/auto-ytdlp
Laughs in
Txt file with favorite channels as input for a yt-dlp download script schedule. Combined with a selfhosted invidious and freetube desktop app for other then favorite videos.
Honestly I am really tired of jumping trough hoops, have to make sure yt-dlp and invidious use a proxy (cloudflare warp) or google will ban your ip for being a bot.
But having to deal with the actual YouTube site or reopening my google account is worse. Its not even (but still also) the ads at this point but pure resentment against big tech.
I have no idea what was up with the multiple steam windows, it did feel like he was actually cursed when that happened.
But the “weird control” issue in l4d2 which was then solved by using a custom launch command found on protondb… thats super real.
Eventually you learn to check protondb as a habit the second you encounter any kind of game issue but for a newcomer thats another hurdle.
The only solution is getting a smart fridge for each household member.
I am pretty sure anyone will still be able to install a distro/fork from a free country, but steam is unlikely to go this route because convenience is part of the package. They may not even care to resist because they already ask your age for the steam store.
I am more curious what this will do for non standard devices with multiple users. Even kitchen equipment may run a derivative of linux these days and they don’t come with keyboard access.
Linux is just a kernel.
Redhat with fedora and steam with the arch based steam os will be the ones that have to implement it.
The irony knows no bounds, the one half decent reason age verification could exists for is so these companies have no more excuses to ignore coppa because now they can just pretend everyone is a consenting adult.
There is no flavour of adhd that does this, their intelligence spans the same ranges as any other people. But they do have a lower attention span which is why I referred to them.
The article literally refers to “lower measured attention span” as “being dumber” and thats just unapologetically incorrect. There is no indication of a proper IQ tests being involved.
That said there are so many different kinds of intelligence that we don’t measure or have tests for, being bad a one that does have tests is indeed nothing to be ashamed for, you are correct on that part.
Neither does impulse control and attention span imply anything about intelligence. Framing it like this is kinda offensive to the many smart people who have a flavour of adhd.
Previous science regarding gaming habits of young kids concluded that those that gamed more then x hours a day had improved problem solving skills, cognitive skills and also lower attention span.
This will not matter to most of linux, it’s non enforceable and easily circumvented.
But the issue is what they used for thumbnail. Steam deck.
Steam is bringing linux to the the masses but they won’t be able to sell any without complying to the part that all apps that can be installed must be able to ask the os to give this data.
Teams comes pre installed with windows these days.
I recommend KDE Plasma on any linux distribution that comes with it for people interested in recovering their digital sovereignty.
Thats just the price i feel. These stories always ends with they got acces and no longer need apple.
The product is a “definitely not an apple employee” “hacker” who shows up at your door with how to break in.
The cost price is making sure the media tells everyone about how apple isn’t willing to play ball while i am pretty sure us has a law to force them to play ball just like all the dictatorships.
Somewhat funny i actually realized this dynamic when watching star trek. Whenever they need to do something illegal they simply put their badges on the desk and just like magic they are no longer bound by federation ethics.
Are my comments really this confusing, i thought my point was pretty clear.
But to Summarize yet againW
Fake antifa is called “all lives matter”
Actual “all lives matter” is called antifa/anarchism.
There is no racist “balanced stance” for what equalism is about, so they invade the real one.
You mis understand me, i very much agree that “all lives matter” is a racist dog wistle.
I am saying that equalism gets invaded by toxic masculism while “antifa” does not because fascist feel to strong about it.
There for they had to invent “all lives matter” to be a racist copy of antifa/anarchism. Its thus not comparable to how equalism does get invaded.
Is it?!
