Just swinging by to say I appear to have evolved as a Linux user / software engineer recently. Something happened and now I care less about customisation and want stuff to Just Work with very little config. So I'm trying out Fedora + Gnome after years of arch and i3.

I think what changed is that I've been so busy and overloaded for so long that something switched and now I prioritise less fiddly things to worry about. I care more about getting shit done well and less about how?

Fedora has instantly started auto updating my laptop firmware completely hands free and automatically. Yeahhh this is nice, I'm okay with less options if my computer just sort of does stuff for me.

@Olical be careful! This is how you end on macOS and iPhones! (I jumped from Arch too!)

@RosaCtrl @Olical I went to Apple ecosystem briefly, and although it works great, it is not Free Software, and I couldn't stand it that long. After the Mac (I do miss the M1), the iPhone went away easily. My reasons for going into Apple applied to me only for a very brief period (lots of portability, and seamless integration between systems didn't hurt).
