Installing Artix Linux on ThinkPad X250 - What are your desktop environment preferences?

Hello, this is Munou.

For a long time, I've been mainly posting articles on this blog using a ThinkPad X220, but I was dissatisfied with the poor image display due to its TN panel. This time, I've just realized that the X250 that's been lying around at home recently has an IPS display, so I've decided to set up the X250.

On a whim, I wanted to store the images I've taken so far somewhere on the web, and for a while, I was considering building a photo-centric website with Hugo and had even reached the testing phase.

However, the problem is the difficulty of uploading images.

Regarding this, everyone seems to have different processing methods, but when dealing with a large number of image files, it's easier if it's somewhat automated. Therefore, this time I'll yield to the convenience of building it with WP (WordPress).

So, that's it for installing Fcitx.
For repositories, please configure them as described in the Artix Wiki.

Regarding desktop environments, what are the opinions of classical UNIX users and GNU/Linux users?

As for me, I first encountered GNU/Linux when I was in junior high school, so I don't know what kind of perceptions people who have been using it for a long time have. The first one I touched was Ubuntu.

A desktop environment is, as the name suggests, literally "on the desk" when thought of in Japanese, so it is the work environment itself.

My memory of Windows XP, the first OS I used, is that I had all animations turned off for the graphical environment, so it wasn't as colorful as the Windows XP that appears when you search for it now.

If anything, it just looked closer to Windows 2000.

My fondness for old things hasn't changed, but I find it difficult to draw a line.
If new things are superior in terms of hardware, the opposite is also true.

I'm gradually adapting to isolation keyboards, which I used to dislike. This is because I've started to wonder whether it's really necessary to be particular about typing feel on a laptop, and surprisingly, I'm starting to think they're not so bad after all.

Perhaps, ThinkPad's isolation keyboards feel like excellent keyboards that offer a relatively better typing feel compared to other brands.

While I'm particular about desktop PCs, I feel that laptops often involve an "equivalent exchange" of giving up something to gain something else, so it's difficult to decide what to prioritize.
