If so, it was a lucky guess.

If I can choose between flatpack and distro package, distro wins hands down.

If the choice then is flatpack vs compile your own, I think I'll generally compile it, but it depends on the circumstances.

Because it's easier to use the version that's in the distro, and why do I need an extra set of libraries filling up my disk.

I see flatpack as a last resort, where I trade disk space for convenience, because you end up with a whole OS worth of flatpack dependencies (10+ GB) on your disk after a few upgrade cycles.

I should have noted that I'll compile myself when we are talking about something that should run as a service on a server.

Great that you have 4tb on your root partition then by all means use flatpack.

I have 256Gb on my laptop, as I recall I provisioned about 40-50gigs to root.

10 out of 40 is 25%

10 out of 4000 is 0.25%

Yep that's all well and good, but what flatpack doesn't do automatically is clean up unused libs/dependencies, over time you end up with several versions of the same libs. When the apps are upgraded they get the latest version of their dependency and leave the old behind.

I have used Jan Kruegers guide along with Sqouzen and Open Cola to find the correct ratios needed. Jan's recipe was chosen because its sugar free and skips the step with making sugar syrup, and you end up with 257ml syrup that gives 45l cola.

I'm on the fourth 1/4 scale batch, and weigh everything because its more precise than measuring volume, and that have helped me dial in the correct amounts.

I found that it's fun it is to tinker with all the ratios in a spreadsheet, while dialing in the recipe to my taste.

At least you tried! And annoying that you stumbled upon hw issues.

If you ever want to try again what about getting hold of an old drive, or try dual boot, then you can swap back to windows easily and there's less pressure for Linux to work out of the box.

As you say the guides you used didn't match, try and research more about what is the correct distro for you, and maybe start with one that looks like a sure bet.

No problem, it just sounded like you needed help.

To avoid getting advice then you better mark your comment, with rant or something.

Plot twist Windows has always been bad.

Microsoft has always been good at catering to businesses and hooking them on windows+office+etc.

But there has always been better alternatives around, OS/2 was so much better than windows 3.x, and WordPerfect was better than word. I'm sure there are countless other examples.

I upgraded 3 major versions of Devuan with a snapshot between each upgrade, and I have a script running doing hourly/daily/weekly snapshots.

The only hassle was updating grub to boot on the new snapshot, while still being able to boot the old, I had to dig up a boot USB when I messed it up.

Or like the good old days where you deleted COMMAND.COM

Two ssds is when you need to run stuff on windows that requires the bare metal.

Windows needs to be contained, controlled and told who is the boss, I suggest using Tiny11 or MicroXP in a VM for stuff that can't run in wine.

Firefox stopped supporting XP in 2018 so it's not too long ago that it was still usable.
