The laptop has an M.2 SSD

Yea then there should be no speed issues related to it.

Coming up on 24 years!

Wow you're a real man. A ton of respect for you.

These "automated ordering" things of any kind are usually annoying for most people so it wouldn't be a good default.

Maybe an extension will do but if it was on another window then you're likely cooked, especially on Linux and specifically on Wayland. Write down your navigation history next time I guess.

Well first of all the "best" distros in many people's opinions are DIY ones like Arch or Gentoo and for older hardware it's minimal distros which have learning curves of their own so such lists would probably be bad for beginners.

Anyways your hardware isn't too slow so any distro should be usable I think. Choose one that is well known and that has a desktop environment (UI) you think your wife (congrats on having one btw) would like. If you have no idea, just go for the Cinnamon version of Linux Mint. Its UI is very much similar to Windows and it's as easy to use as it gets.

If you're feeling brave, you can try a distro with vanilla (not customized as hell) GNOME environment like Fedora. It's unique and known for not having any features by default lol so it's very easy once you get a hang of it. The UI is the most similar to Android than anything I'd say.

EDIT: any modern OS will be pretty slow if it's installed on an HDD (spinning hard drive). If you have that, I'd highly recommend upgrading to a cheap SSD. The difference will be night and day, especially in boot times.

Meh I don't mind the longer commands. I just don't know the flags. Still thanks though.

Pro.

No idea what that is (Xorg related?) so probably not lol.

It broke many times on me, including a full ext4 file system breakage.

I understand you have a point here but man the toxicity is crazy.

EndeavourOS and nothing else. I personally use Cachy but it's way too unstable for a beginner.

Lol BTRFS moment. Try restoring a snapshot via chroot if you have one and if you don't, clean reinstall it is.

Modding it is hard. You need to unpack game files, install mods in a specific order which you almost never know, repack it and hope that it works. Alternatively you can install a merge (modpack made by other people) if you find one you like. Btw every update deletes most mods afaik.

But besides that there are a lot of mods and even without them I found the game pretty enjoyable. Just don't screw up the tech tree and you should be fine.

If you'd like some mod recommendations, I'd say 2013 vehicle handling, alternate gun sounds and a graphics mod if your machine can handle it (some require at least a 3060 for smooth gameplay). There's also Living City which adds a ton of customizable random freeroam events and features but that one is up to personal preference. I personally prefer a more vanilla experience.

Because I haven't heard of it much in years.

I've only ever seen 1 person with something like the "energetic" ADHD...

Ngl I hate everything ActivityPub gave birth to. But I guess in itself it's nice?

Wait stackoverflow isn't forgotten yet?

Parawhat?

Well now it's not used anymore so it still counts imo.

I love how unknown projects move to modern toolkits and GIMP just moved to an almost 15 years old one.

And yes I do know that GTK4 absolutely sucks for feature-rich applications.

That is actually so good.
