Absolutely — here are **clean, minimal, podcast-ready rewrites** of *your* responses for the six backup categories.
|
||
These are phrased in **your voice**, polished, and ready to read on air.

# **Backup Responses (Drew — Rewritten & Ready to Use)**
|
||
|
||
## **1. The Question I Wish Someone Would Ask**
|
||
|
||
**Q:** *What distro do you regret recommending?*
|
||
**A:** Honestly? Ubuntu with a pile of PPAs. It felt helpful at the time, but it created a system that broke every time it sneezed. I learned my lesson.
|
||
|
||
**Q:** *What’s one thing you changed your mind on?*
|
||
**A:** Flatpaks. I used to think they were unnecessary, and now half my workflow depends on them.

## **2. Hot Takes Lightning Round**
|
||
|
||
* **Systemd haters:** Most of them are just bored. If it didn’t work, Debian wouldn’t ship it.
|
||
* **GNOME extensions:** Let’s be real — extensions *are* the real GNOME experience.
|
||
* **Debian:** It’s the only distro that feels like an operating system instead of a hobby.
|
||
* **Raspberry Pi:** The 4 was the peak “sweet spot.” Everything since is more expensive for marginal gains.

## **3. Tool That Surprised Me This Week**
|
||
|
||
**mdp** — I installed it out of curiosity, and it immediately became my favorite way to present Markdown.
|
||
Lightweight, clean, fits right into a scripted workflow, and doesn’t make you wrestle with slides.

## **4. Questions Nobody Asked (but I’m Answering Anyway)**
|
||
|
||
**Q:** *What feature would you delete from Linux history?*
|
||
**A:** Snap auto-refresh. Not snaps — just the “we’re updating now whether you like it or not” part.
|
||
|
||
**Q:** *Which GUI app do you secretly love?*
|
||
**A:** Ghostty. It’s the one GUI terminal that doesn’t feel like a compromise.
|
||
|
||
**Q:** *If you had to distro-hop right now?*
|
||
**A:** Fedora. As a FOSS advocate, I respect Arch, but I trust Fedora. It’s modern, open-source by default, and doesn’t make me babysit it.

## **5. Audience Poll (with Drew’s quick answers)**
|
||
|
||
* **Is Wayland ready?**
|
||
Yes for GNOME. Not for my tiling workflow.
|
||
* **Tabs: top or bottom?**
|
||
Top. Bottom tabs feel like a kid’s menu.
|
||
* **GNOME vs KDE?**
|
||
KDE wins on features. GNOME wins on discipline.

## **6. Micro Linux Horror Stories**
|
||
|
||
* I once aliased `rm` to `trash`, forgot I removed `trash`, and wiped half a project before noticing.
|
||
* I re-bound Mod in DWM to a key I don’t even have, live on stream. Couldn’t open a terminal. Couldn’t close a window. Just vibes.
|
||
* I force-pushed the wrong branch once and thought Git was broken. No — *I* was broken.
