Repo/packaging: I try and do as little as possible to mess with custom packages - which is why I’ve ended up on Arch LMAE setup after really liking LMDE. yay and the AUR is a game changer.

UI: I’m running Cinnamon at 100%. Boring and works and nothing feels out of place. I’m old and grumpy and hate fixing shit, so this suits me. Maybe give it a stab. I will never buy a display that needs fractional scaling, for this very reason.

I find five different solutions … …config file is not where it should be or a package is not available

I feel this.

For photos: Rapid-Photo-Downloader to import of cards, Geeqie to cull, (both are in all repo’s I’ve used) - and I run Capture One in dual boot Windows (but I need to set up a Windows VM with photo folder passthrough and GPU passthrough) because nothing else compares, especially if you have an events worth of images to process. I’ve tried a ton and darktable is the best and it’s still terrible to use. Don’t get me wrong, you can get awesome results and it is very powerful, but I don’t want to spend hours on a single image.

It is annoying, as it’s the only thing that Linux (for me) does not have a comparable equivalent for.

I don’t buy shit based on a promise or expectation. I buy it based on what it is for me now. It’s the same reason I don’t pre-order games.

I found that a weird statement too. It’s literally based on a rapidly moving community distribution.
