Technology and industrialization has and continues to increase an individual’s productivity exponentially. With increasing productivity we should be living better lives while being able to work less. Not equivocal or even more. The issue is capitalist economics are about over-production and constant growth, not meeting need. We’d still be living in candle-lit brick apartment complexes with your extended family in a studio apartment working 15 hours in the coal mines if it wasn’t for labor unions and violent resistance. Then they found out they can pacify people easier through consumerism than they could with the barrel of a gun.

This is all to say, we do not need to work as much as we are to keep the quality of life we have.

I mean there are some other shitty stuff feudal peasants had to do or had it harder than us, but it is kinda sad that there still are things peasants had that we don’t (like shorter working hours and longer breaks). You’d think with the technological advancements we’ve had since the “death” of feudalism we would have more to distinguish ourselves from feudal peasants. I feel like the only major differences (at least in America) is the mass consumerism and that the feudal lords are capitalists rather than nobility.

I feel like I might have just been fairly unlucky. Maybe I got hardware it doesnt like, or maybe I fucked something up at some point (fairly plausible considering I’m still fairly nooby to Linux). Not gonna put the blame on Nobara, but I do feel its updates are too frequent for my taste (which only exasterbated the problem).

I do have Nvidia. I wish I didn’t tho

I found it to be unstable. I ran into updates causing major problems way too often. The last update got stuck and I was just so fed up I dumped the OS. Ubuntu has the LTS version that has way less often of updates, and that appealed to me. But I don’t like gnome so I went with Kubuntu cause its on KDE

I moved off of Nobara to Kubuntu LTS. Tried out Mint and Ubuntu before hand and gotta say, I am loving Kubuntu. I am hoping it is the last time I have to distro hop

I just have really bad memory from a combo of ADHD and weed. Remembering where in the GUI to fix something is a lot easier than remembering commands. Especially when if I fuck up said command I could make the problem worse or make a whole new problem. GUI gives me visual landmarks that stick in my memory, and thats something the terminal doesn’t. Like navigating a city via landmarks vs via street signs. Tell me directions via streets I am lost, but tell me to go left after the walgreens on the river and now I know.
