Linux Mint

I’m glad to hear it. Linux in general has gotten way better in that regard. I haven’t had to fix any driver issues in years just install and it works.

PopOS is definitely a great first choice distribution. I would recommend Linux Mint over it for people coming from windows who wants something rock solid with a great community

netstat curl and git

Yep. I used a Chromebook pixel in college with Linux on it. Worked pretty well

Hahaha, I’m the opposite I’ve been so used to the thinkpad fn that I hate using other laptop keyboards.

Use Nix?

I mean if you want stability, Debian 12

Oh sweet thank you!

Might be better to ask on ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world

If that’s how you refer to communities on here hahaha. I just swapped from basically a TKL down to a Cheapino which is 3x5 with 3 keys on the thumb. It was a really steep learning curve but tbh I only really use 4 of the 6 thumb keys so if you want to go down to 34 keys I say go for it. It will be more difficult to transition though.

Tidal, you can use tidal-dl to download the music
