Hugging Stars

Depends on how advanced or niche the use case is. Flatpak and immutable distros covered the most common use for command line, that being package manager.

But Linux will start requiring command line earlier than Windows, random small utilities you’ll find on the internet tend to be command line only on Linux, whilst Windows equivalent usually provides a basic menu.

Fedora is probably the most balanced, being a semi rolling distro.

Kinda curious why would X11 have that many clipboards to begin with. Different people implemented their personal macros perhaps…?

OpenWrt usually supports a device until it’s infeasible or has no maintainers I believe. Beware of small flash!

Personally I recommend getting either a MediaTek Filogic device or one of those x86 boxes. They have the best FOSS support right now and having ARM A53 cores means you can do QoS at fairly good speed. Don’t expect good Wi-Fi if you went with devboards like OpenWrt One.

The fundamental issue is that the desktops themselves are inferior products. Linux desktop developers spent years arguing which bad solution is better for a solved problem.

The gap is closer now but that’s only because Windows is killing itself.
