Only thing that isn’t bullshit is be nice and be confident.

Your points are all entirely fair. It also surprises me how quite a few people don’t get it.

And it’s not that many requisites to fix it either.

A) don’t break shit on updates. This is the worst thing that could happen.

B) There needs to be a clicky app store. Just one. No options. No pick your repos. No pick between flatpak and whatever else. Just a visual app store you click an app and it install. You click to remove it gets removed.

It’s seriously not that much you’d think.

Having that said. If you do choose to endure through the learning curve. It’s mostly worth it. But fuck. It’s such a dumb self imposed learning curve.

well gnome software and epiphany app stores just work.

Man I wish I had time to boot up a vm with a big distro, open both stores and try to install something, it’s immediately obvious.

There’s a reason everyone online says “oh yeah, the stores exist, i still use the terminal though”

They do not work.

If you think that’s the case. Check some big forums for each big distro right after a point update to read the tales of woe and breakage.

My personal experience with this has been:

Pop_OS broke after an update. Unrepairable as far as I could tell. And I tried hard. Happened to multiple.people there was a reddit thread about it.

Fedora broke on an update. Not sure if repairable. I didn’t try. I had the most boring vanilla installation possible.

Arch has been unbootable twice over the years. And had to do many manual interventions. Both times it was fixable.

People are not lying to you when they say it breaks randomly. Just because it wasn’t your personal experience doesn’t mean it isn’t a common experience. You just have been lucky so far.

Same way experienced users would prevent that.

Write down your password and recovery codes in multiple safe places.

That’s a bit of a hassle. For me at least.

That’s why I suggested protonpass. You can mess up but as long as you don’t forget your pw you are fine.

protonpass for sure.

Bitwarden is great, but it’s way too easy to lock yourself out of it if it’s your first pw manager ever.

What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Other than your carrier give it for free or cheap, I don’t really see the reason why should you buy new phone. I’ve been using Redmi Note 9 for past 3 years and recently got my had on Poco F5. I don’t see the point of my ‘upgrade’. I sold it and come back to my Note 9. Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction...
