I’ve used linux for twelve years and am still surprised at how easy some things are, not that things were really even that hard before. The improvements to gaming on Linux are pretty well known now, but even things like recording audio are dead simple now. Outside of the super expensive DAWs, I’d say linux is on par with Mac and windows now, especially with things like yabridge.

I’d be very surprised if it can’t do DHCP. If it still can’t, you could always find a cheap router to use as an access point and have DHCP that way.

Sway and hyprland are going to be the main recommendations, especially hyprland because it is pretty feature-rich. I personally have been using River for the last few months, which I’ve been able to completely replicate my five year old bspwm set up with using the rivercarro layout. It’s not as popular, but I’ve really liked it so far.

I’ve used it on my pi before I disabled the display manager because I barely used it, but performance was fine. I could log in from my desktop, phone, laptop, another pi, anything really, which was nice to have.

I found out by accident that Disco Elysium plays surprisingly well with a controller. It’s kinda nice to just lean back and play that game.

I was the same but in 2017. Six years later and I’m still using the same Void install. There’s simply no reason for me to switch, it’s perfect and I have my system tailored exactly to my liking at this point.

If by incredible you mean incredibly lame then sure. I’ve never felt that this was in the spirit of “one forward motion,” never liked it.

As a Sabres fan, there’s the very obvious one but I’m not so sure I’d go back on it. That Sabres team was dragged kicking and screaming to the finals by Hasek, he was just that good. I’m not super confident they win that series even if it was No Goal.

On the other hand, I’ve talked before about something I would change. It doesn’t entirely fit this scenario, but the delay of game penalty taken by Campbell at the end of the 2006 ECF very likely cost the Sabres the Cup that year. I think they had a very good chance beating Edmonton that year. If I had my way, a puck going over the glass isn’t an automatic penalty and the Sabres make the final that year, and very possibly winning the Cup.

To your first point, a huge portion of the use library computers get is from people who don’t own or can’t afford their own computer but just need to print government/work/school docs with some minimal document editor. Sure you could run with LibreOffice or something and hope no one cares, but you’re right that most people would freak out if they can’t open something in Word or have to learn how to print something in Gnome/KDE/whatever.
