Some people learn that way, but most don't. It's usually better to start with a working environment and work on one thing at a time until you learn enough that you're ready to dig down another layer. Start with little mysteries and learn the structure of things and how to troubleshoot before jumping in the deep end. Having a system that's hopelessly broken and you don't know why or how to fix it is just likely to turn people away from Linux entirely. People don't win extra points for suffering needlessly.

My Steam Deck was on my chart at 2%. Pretty sure my VR time this year was higher than my Steam Deck time. Clearly there's some criteria it's using to decide what's shown since you see it and I don't, but I don't think it's percent playtime. Dunno--could also be that the VR games I was playing didn't trigger the VR category for whatever reason. It was mostly Beat Saber.

I didn't see that on mine. Mine just had Linux and Steam Deck, and I played a few VR-only games on the Index.

Arch, because I can never be happy except when I'm bickering with a machine.

Seriously, though, I like the control and the learning factor. I enjoy knowing what my computer is doing and why, AUR is great, and the documentation is generally top-notch. Once you get past the point in the learning curve where everything is on fire and you don't know why (don't forget the 'linux' package when you pacstrap, kids!), it's a delight to use

Ooh, good one! I personally like the cover of Dear God by Lawless with Sydney Wayser. I agree that the idea of an atheist anthem is a little strange, though--like a song reveling in how many fairies there aren't.
