maybe I should've used a picture of @JuanBaNaNa naked? that's certainly something I could get "behind."

the play-by-play, added dark theme, using white icons now instead of black, and I added a dark blue color instead of yellow, which looked like shit:

You have the biggest "linux user" energy that I can think of of anyone on these forums
that is absolutely a complement from one to another :^)

Fucking based. I've just now been converted as of a week ago, currently distrohopping. My laptop, Dell Precision M4800 plays nicely with any distro I through at it once I set a proper i8kfan profile, but I'm considering installing it on my desktop too. The only thing I'll be keeping is a like 30 GB Windows 10 partition just to play Destiny 2.

Might be switching my main back to Mint and keeping Fedora as my secondary OS. Fedora is amazing but suffers from slightly too many issues with being cutting edge. They aren't like major breaking issues, but they are annoying enough to make it just slightly less fun as a daily driver. I need the stability that Mint provides.

I spent forever distro hopping and I've been able to settle on Linux Mint and Fedora. Fedora for cutting-edge software and Mint for stability. I do enjoy other distros but I tend to find most of them to have issues with my main laptop or issues that hold them back from being a daily driver.

Yeah, same boat here. I've found the most success with Ubuntu with the Unity desktop. God I love that old ass UI. I'll find my niche in time, but so far it's a tie between LXDE and Unity desktops.

Oh wait!! I can boot both! That's the best fucking part of Linux. I have so much RAM in my laptop that my desktop is just whatever fucking mood I'm in now. Windows never gave me that kind of freedom, it just forced choices onto me that I either liked (windows 8 full screen start) or hate (everything about 11)

I wish I could recommend Ubuntu to people but their annoying attempts to push Snap have stopped me from doing so these days. Snap having a proprietary backend really fucking ruins the packages for me and it's why I actively avoid snap. Ubuntu replacing more and more packages with Snap is why I avoid Ubuntu. Freedom is part of what keeps me using Linux, which is both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes there's too much freedom and you end up overwhelmed by choices. Sometimes you are like me and had enough to kind of know what you want. This is actually why I am looking at Mint again. Mint has never done me wrong and I really can't find that same level of stability and functionality in most distros. Solus used to be my favorite but their years of dragging their feet have kind of made me fall out of love with it.

I have had to many shitty experiences with linux in the past (Corrupted my SSD, Crashing on startup, broke my laptop ect.) and im still lovin my Windows 10 PC (With some mods here and there and a linux subsystem to shutup linux nerds)

I like Snap personally, it just works™
I like freedom to choose, but I like something working more, and it just works, and it has the packages I want, so I'm fine with it.

You realize i still use linux from time to time right? Img from an Alienware 17 R2 I still use for things like watching video's playing light games and browsing the net.

OH NO NO NO

I like portable packages on Linux, which is why I use a mix of Flatpak and Appimages but I don't like that Snap has a proprietary backend that limits the usability of their packages. The best part of a portable package should be that anyone can these packages and be able to host/distribute them, but you currently can't do that with Snap. Snap is completely dependent on Canonical, which is kind of an oof when it comes to Linux and open source software.

Oh no don't get me wrong, your complaints are valid. They just don't affect me personally YET. I will reach a point in time with Linux usage and knowledge that I can come to be annoyed by these changes. I already get the vibe that Snap prioritizes noobies over people who want total control over the OS, and in time I will come to loathe that just as I did with Windows overall design.

My years as a Linux user have tainted my presentation of software distribution. I actually like how Snap packages their stuff, it's a lot easier to understand. Flatpak is kind of there but still has some confusing sorting that Unix-like operating systems struggle with. I want to like snap, but that one glaring flaw ruins it for us.
