Of that 99%, like 75% is on Debian. I have long been embarrassed by how little I know about Linux Desktop Environments, compositors, or themes. My idea of configuring Linux is editing files like /etc/hosts or /etc/network/interfaces. Setting a static IP on an Ethernet adapter while maintaining access to WiFi is like negotiating a visitation schedule for a Golden Retriever caught in the middle of a lesbian divorce.</p>
