XDG User dirs are cool, i agree. But that's not really the problem here

Pretty much every distro offers an easy way to install nvidia drivers.

It's the peripherals that really need drivers. I remember having to install digimend drivers for my friend's graphics tablet for example. That said, it wasn't supported well on Windows either and performed better on my Linux setup than on Windows once I did find out about the digimend drivers.

Driver troubles for peripherals aren't uncommon in Windows either. Don't get me started on printers. Somehow, printers and scanners have always been plug and play for me on Linux, contrary to what I often hear.

Which isn't a lot of time if we're being honest

No, i think he means the idea that Linux is supposed to substitute Windows 1:1

Only 10 and 11 have been free

What OS security updates are you doing from the terminal?

Thank you so much! Got lifetime ultra yesterday :)

The huge-looking sizes are not representative of actual size on disk. On first installation of one app of a kind, their runtime packages get installed as well. For example, installing GNOME apps will install the latest GNOME runtime. But after that, installing any other GNOME app takes little to no space.

In your case, you don't seem to have any apps installed as Flatpaks, which means even the freedesktop runtimes are missing and need to be installed. That's probably why it looks so huge.

Skiff or Protonmail.

Skiff gives you 10 GBs of storage and also comes with a drive and a Notion-like Pages app. They even let you add custom domain for free. The only disadvantages are the non-native Android or iOS apps that just feel off and the limits on folders and filters.

ProtonMail only gives 1GB of storage and stuff like custom domains, aliases, etc are all paid features. The Android app is decent but missing some basic features that you only notice when you actually use it (select and delete when searching for example). Definitely the most robust mail service there is though. With Proton Unlimited, you also get stuff like per-site aliases using SimpleLogin, Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Calendar and Proton Pass. But if I'm being honest, only the Mail and VPN are truly complete products.

I would love to use Thunder, but for some reason, my screen is locked to 60 Hz on Thunder, Connect and Liftoff and it's really off-putting.

Agree with the second one right now, but hell no to the first one.

Sync ultra in the original reddit app had a one-time payment option as well.
