Beside DE and terminal commands , is there anything else I should try in a linux distro ?
Installing software which isn’t in a repository
This is a massive one that’s often overlooked. For example, I love Bazzite, but it’s nigh impossible to install Private Internet Access’s client on it. On the other hand, installing the VPN my work requires is trivially easy, but you’d have to build it manually for any non-RPM-based distro.
