Turns out the reply in my thread telling me the best way to combat not caring about Linux is to care about Linux was absolutely correct.
I picked up a laptop, installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I’m already obsessed. I haven’t had this much fun with a PC in a long time and it’s just a cheapo Dell Inspiron 3520.

I tried Artix once. It was very fast but I think there was some limitations due to no systemd with some apps that required the presence of systemd.
It sucks that some apps must have systemd on the OS to work. I wish Devs would do that because it would be nice to also have the option of running Linux with non-systemd inits sometimes.
