TBH, once stop running Windows, everything gets easier. And if your running Ubuntu or Mint, it’s not even that painful to start and hardware more or less just works.
Debian is nice for servers, but it’s a little out of date for desktop. YMMV, welcome to the club and ignore the snobs ❤️
Building muscle is hard for some folks and it takes time. The biggest dudes at most gyms are the nicest folks. The “big guys” that make fun of people… Get eaten for breakfast by the real gym kings. You don’t get huge by being full of yourself, you get that way through a ton of hard work and learning to humble yourself.
I knew a dude that was a pro wrestler, huge AF. Had the world’s biggest comic collection in his basement, total sweetheart. He played a heel to further add insult to injury lol
Try Ubuntu Mate, it’s actually ok. I’m alot not the biggest fan of snaps. I try and get .debs or apt get, where I can. App Images seem a little odd to me, but Flatpack seems alright.
