    I first beheld the glory of the cube in 2009. It was transcendental. I almost felt my soul leaving my body and ascending to a higher plane of consciousness, where few have treaded and those that truly grasp its majesty, yet fewer still. I was swept up in the spiritual, yet fleeting, ephemeral, and mercurial experience that was like no other. We were no more than ants trying to understand Einstein’s Relativity, or dung beetles oblivious to the sonorous rapture of Mozart.

    I flipped the cube for a couple more times to show it to my unimpressed wife, and promptly never booted into Ubuntu since.

















  • Same, does it work? If it means booting into a DE and being able to move your mouse and type on your keyboard, sure most distros can do that.

    It’s those little gotchas everywhere that gets you. Enabling video acceleration on Nvidia in firefox? Getting LDAC to work on Bluetooth? Etc. etc.

    Do most distros work? Yeah, only if you don’t mind software encoding, or compiling from some user-provided repos.

    I have a few hobby boxes running all flavours of distros, but whenever I need something to just work with no caveats, I go back to w11.
