Strit

I’m an old man. I don’t get the appeal of a terminal with hardware acceleration and all that fancy stuff. I use what the distro/DE came with.

I don’t replace anything. I just install what I need from the beginning.

And yes, I run Arch btw. :D

This is really good advise and it all boils down to one attribute. Patience.

Don’t get disheartened when something does not work the first time. Take a step back. Look at what went wrong and then try again, hopefully without doing the same mistake again.

Learn the basic tools of Linux and Bash/Posix. cd, ls, cp, mv and rm are some very basic tools, but it is what we use 80% of the time.

You mean like an APU?

It’s europe. All electronics are more xpensive here, often because of import taxes/VAT etc.
