i installed debian on an ancient core duo w a dvd drive to rip cds/dvds it works fine w firefox and wayland too on a 4k monitor, but at half res since the hardware cant drive 4k non universal copy/pasting (meaning ctrl or command and xcp) is still weird as poo poo though

lol if you use any linux api that isn't at most a thin wrapper over one of the actual system calls

to make a serious post (that i've made before but not in this thread) i love both wine and wsl, the kind of person who would seriously talk about "linux on the desktop" hates both, but as far as interesting things and realistic usefulness for real people things are actually real good atm.

if you're a zoomer or one of those younger millennials that lives entirely out of google services, you could use linux for everything you do and never notice. you won't, because you probably already own a mac, but you've been doing it since they handed you a chromebook in grade school

open()/read()/write() and /dev/kmem is all the api you need

i've been using wayland on nvidia for the last couple of years. outside of a few minor issues like xwayland application windows (never games) briefly flickering on rare occasions, it's been absolutely fine, and the explicit-sync fixes for that are queued up

out of the box plasma 5 is pretty polished. like i'd say it's for "power users" because it's pretty complex, but honestly it's pretty easy to use if you've just used a computer before and pretty much everything kde related is well explained in the settings or when you change widgets etc.
