Mostly programming (when my day job hasn’t drained me of all the energy) and the usual stuff you’d only really do on a desktop and not on a phone, like documents, light image editing and spreadsheets, nothing fancy.

Thanks for the reply! I always nuke the main drive whenever reinstalling anyway so the home folder is not a problem. I guess since you did the same switch as I’m thinking of (and yes, PopOS gave me some headaches I never imagined I’d have in this day and age) I’ll probably follow your recommendation.

Maybe it is, but almost every time someone does anything other than game they usually are steered away from it.

I was under the impression that their aggressive pruning of things usually used for workstation tasks would hamper a sane use of it. From what I’ve gathered they even removed the usual python bins that come with most linux distros these days, as an example.

I don’t really mind at this point, if I’m installing from a package repo of some sorts I prefer using the terminal anyway. It’s mostly if I’m downloading something from the browser that I’d like to be able to just double click, but it’s not a big deal anyway.
