Windows bad, in the next few days I think I will be replacing it on my laptop.
The question is, do I throw myself into the deep end with arch or avoid stressing myself out and go with something easier.

@Chizu Arch linux young one

@Co I'm just hoping it isn't as difficult as everyone makes it out to be

@Chizu @Co It isn't

@miria @Co Since you constantly complain about guis, which one is the least bad since I am aware that arch doesn't ship with one

@Chizu @Co I've never complained about GUIs.

@miria @Co well, I guess the correct word is desktop enviroments?

@Chizu @Co KDE Plasma and Xfce are both great.

@miria @Co I didn't like kde on debian so I will have to try xfce

@Chizu @miria DWM is nice and minimal

@Co @Chizu dwm is the best software ever written, but she asked for a DE.

@miria @Co i asked for whatever gui solution thing is equivalent to what i use now

@Chizu @Co Windows has been copying Plasma for a while now so yeah that. Also it's one of the few desktop environments to have thumbnails in the file picker.

@miria @Co @Chizu i have that on XFCE tho?

@KayFaraday @Co @Chizu Xfce uses GTK. This is a feature missing in GTK. Show screenshot.

@miria @Co @Chizu whatever you say man

@KayFaraday @Co @Chizu It literally doesn't have thumbnails lmao. You have to select each file one by one to see a preview on the right. I mean you can see thumbnails for all the files at the same time. Mac has had this since like 2001.

@miria @Co @Chizu the fuck are these then? this works for videos too.

@KayFaraday @Co @Chizu That is impossible to see. You're probably so used to GTK you don't even know this feature exists.

@miria @Co @Chizu stop moving the goalposts

i agree that they're small but on a regular file browser window the size is adjustable

@KayFaraday @Co @Chizu That's a file browser. That's not the file picker. No one's moving the goalposts. If anything you're moving the goalposts bringing the file explorer now when I explicitly said FILE PICKER.

@miria @Co @Chizu so which feature is GTK lacking? cause it's clearly not thumbnails in the file picker

@KayFaraday @Co @Chizu There literally are no thumbnails on the file picker. Are you trolling right now?

@miria @Co @Chizu i do not understand. i showed you two screenshots of said thumbnails. are they non-existent or are they just too small?

@KayFaraday @Co @Chizu They are too small to be visible. If you open a folder with many files, you can't use the thumbnails to identify them. Don't be disingenuous.
