This is a pretty old template iirc

Most desktops have a graphical startup editor

Linux has been dead simple for 15 years now

Fedora is great, if you don’t like the default UI (I am a GNOME hater btw) you can easily try out one of the Fedora Spins with a different desktop environment while keeping Fedora’s stability and features. I recommend Fedora KDE for faster machines and Fedora Cinnamon for older machines or people that want something that’s snappier.

Arch has regular mirrors and testing mirrors, most users use the regular ones.

I recommend Cinnamon for an easy and lightweight desktop.

Android is the first thing I think of when I hear Linux phone

Vivaldi’s vertical tabs are not comparable TreeStyle Tabs, its just a regular tab bar but vertical.

“Baked in” doesn’t really mean anything to me when it’s missing functionality and addons are only a click away.

How is it more customizable than Firefox? Last I used Chromium based browsers, stuff like TreeStyle Tab was impossible besides a hacky separate window whereas extensions in Firefox are able to make those drastic changes to the UI.

What are those features?

It’s not “shipping with a browser” that was ever the problem.

Can vouch for Cinnamon, very snappy and easy to configure, even has an integrated theme downloader like KDE

this is a Just World fallacy, assuming the best thing will always be adopted and therefore everything not adopted is worse than [current thing], when it is entirely possible that there are in fact better options

dont forget OpenRC
