I decided to "mix it up" and change what distro and DE were on one of my #Linux machines, and everything I installed made me angry such that I ripped it out and installed something else that made me angrier. Tried to go back to the original arch but a glitch and a fuckup with the arch installer filled me with rage anew.
Right now it has Debian + XFCE, which I think is good, and I'm gonna leave it alone for now.
What a shitty Linux day. Should have left well enough alone.
