> I hope you know what Desktop Linux is.

Until yesterday, if asked, I would have said 'A linux for end users'.

And if asked for an example I would have pointed at my laptops running Slack/Enlightenment and said 'like that'.

Maybe it's where I'm at: the only people I know who run Linux are guys who aren't above compiling from source when needed.

Apparently I don't run desktop Linux either because I have no problems editing settings with a text editor, nor do I drool on myself when it comes to reading documentation.
