Tl;dr, bc linux is based
I got a steam deck when it came out. The desktop side was really cool, and all my games ran great on it.
Soon after, I finally bought my (former) dream pc case & decided with my next pc build I wanted linux because… it felt like the cool thing to do. With the steam deck, linux seemed just cool-new and easy to use. I couldn’t imagine not being able to solve any problems on a well-established distro with just patience and google-fu.
So I had mint and two flavors of fedora on flash drives and couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to enlarge my cursor on either fedora version. On mint cinnamon, I found the setting right away. I’ve been on mint since and haven’t looked back.
Pretty rarely, I get the question, why tf are you using linux? My answer is pretty much “cause I think it’s based? Plus I get to learn more about computers along the way anytime something doesn’t work.”
I been wooshed, sorry v.v
