Yeah I was gonna say, I dunno if my distro is the best (Arch BTW) but it’s the best for me. Doesn’t give me any nonsense and lets me tinker as much as I want. Other people just want their OS to get out of their way, which of course is equally valid. Whatever works for you!

Random Dent@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•The Open-Source Software Saving the Internet From AI Bot ScrapersEnglish5·3 days agoIsn’t that just the way things work in general though? If you have a worse computer, everything is going to be slower, broadly speaking.
The usual tech support search:
First hit is a thread describing your exact problem, marked as [SOLVED]. Clicking it goes to a 404.
Second hit is a thread describing your exact problem that goes to an actual thread, but the message has been edited to just say “Solved” with no record of what was done.
Third hit is a thread describing almost your exact problem, with the first response calling the poster a noob for asking and then 15 pages of arguments.
Fourth hit is a thread describing something in the same general area as your problem, which you try anyway and makes the thing you’re trying to fix break in a different way, but it’s progress at least.
Actual solution is somewhere between the 5th and 8th hit, or you give up and come back to it in about a week and solve it instantly without trying for some fucking reason.
So to answer the question, I can usually tell I’m getting close to the solution when I say “Oh for fuck’s sake” as I’m closing tabs lol.
