I use EndeavourOS. I know quite a bit about Arch, the only thing I don’t really know how to do is install it manually.

soon we will reach the magic number companies need to finally consider supporting Linux for once

That is, unless you define correct in mathematical terms. Which no one has done yet.

as if they can even move to China, its market is already dominated by domestic replacements for everything

A well-designed button can be incredibly satisfying. Just ask anyone who owns a mechanical keyboard.

I mean, if you could extract any tritium from the reactor cavity, but it’s probably going to get burned up instantly.

The reactions I showed add up to this overall reaction. Neutrons simply serve as a catalyst.

[2]H + [6]Li -> 2 [4]He

On the bright side, fusion reactors produce helium as a byproduct, which might make party balloons cheaper.

The reaction used in fusion generators is:

[2]H + [3]H -> [4]He + n

Since tritium is usually produced from lithium in situ, you add:

[6]Li + n -> [3]H + [4]He.

The only radioactive thing here is tritium, and it’s mostly confined to the reactor. Also, tritium isn’t nearly as bad as fission waste.

From a developer’s standpoint, one of the bigger pain points of Wayland is window embedding.

If you want to embed from an external process, the only way to do this is to have your application expose its own Wayland compositor and then have the embedded process use that Wayland compositor. No one has made a library for this as of yet.

If you want to embed from the same process, it shouldn’t be too difficult; you just need a wl_subsurface. However, this doesn’t work too well with most GUI toolkits.

Wayland is just radically different from every other windowing API, and I’m hoping that the GUI toolkits can adapt.

This is the biggest pitfall of Linux: Microsoft doesn’t make Office for Linux and the compatibility layers we do have don’t work well enough.

There are alternatives like LibreOffice, however, don’t expect them to be perfectly compatible with Office.

Everything else you listed is perfectly fine: Most browsers ship Linux versions, and those can be used for PDF viewing.

I’d recommend familiarizing yourself with the Linux command line, as most advanced system configuration has to be done through the CLI.

In addition, remember to do your research before asking for help. Good resources include the system manual pages, Arch Wiki, and of course, Google.

As for choice of distro, I’ll recommend Fedora, as it’s reasonably up to date with software and has a nice GUI for dealing with updates.

Old games are likely to work better, as new games are likely to use new features or behaviour which aren’t yet handled properly by Wine/Proton.
