From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

use a modern, popular distro. There are less things broken and you get more support
do a fresh install with a fresh user to nor carry over your broken configs and customizations. Do everything from scratch again
Tackle the issues one by one and provide detailed steps to reproduce, error messages, logs, screenshots or videos. You can ask right here on lemmy, but you'll probably get more eyes on it on reddit tbh.
I felt just like you a long time ago when kde introduced wayland at the end of 2016. After a couple of super frustrating months, I made a backup of my /home, migrated my archlinux to btrfs (by doing a fresh install) so I can have snapshots and revert if I mess something.
Had only minor issues since then and most have been fixed some years later. Others I've learned how to work around (for example by using gamescope, because I have mixed resolution multi monitor setup and some games think my 2k screen is 4k)
I recently got a new laptop and put fedora 43 KDE on it.
It is so solid I get bored.
I literally just installed fedora 43 KDE on my laptop, spent like 2 hours trying to get it to boot (would black screen after a fresh install, apparently multiple people have the same issue for months, idk why no official fix has been released, but a community .iso worked for me)
But after that, holy fuck do I love it way more than gnome. I just hated gnome and everything about it, but most poplular distros I tried used it. I finally decided to try KDE and now I wish I did it earlier
Debian 13 + Gnome 49 is the same way. It’s glorious.
k, that's good advice, I'll Lemmy / Reddit it one by one
