🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not really. I’m using Kubuntu 24.04 LTS and it’s working fine

18 is pretty darn good

Just try it.

I did and I was pretty impressed. The way they modified the Gnome desktop with extensions is the way Gnome should’ve been in the first place. It’s actually usable.

Install Lubuntu. A lightweight Ubuntu derivative.

Haha wow. No one came forward to talk. He was that much of an asshole.

My parent told me of a family they knew who lived on a farm in their village. All of them were outright monsters. There were only brothers in that family. No daughters. They had barn cats and when they had kittens, they’d crush their skulls in their hands for fun. They loved torturing animals. They were pysically big and they imposed themselves on everyone and everyone was scared shitless of these dudes. One ended up in jail for killing someone early on for some banal reason, and another became a Hell’s Angel motorcycle gang hitman essentially.

In a different kind of pure evil, I’ve always been affraid of Dennis in It’s Always Sunny in Philadephia. He really scares me. No joke. The character is a real psychopath. I’ve met a few people like this in real life. They were the rich successful types. They gave me the fucking creeps. Manipulative, controlling, always working to get what the want and always have the advantage to have power over others.

I installed it recently in a VM to check the latest release and the instalation process is not as user friendly as Mint.

For everything else though I guess you’re right. But Mint has more quality of life stuff.

Yeah Debian is stable, but it also doesn’t come with an easy to use app store or pre-installed codecs for multimedia.

The installation process isn’t exactly user friendly either. And if you plan to use BTRFS with Timeshift for easy snapshot creation, you have to do some pretty technical stuff.

And finally, there’s stable and stable. Linux Mint being Ubuntu based is already VERY stable, but you still get fairly recent packages. With Debian you have to wait much longer for the latest software.

No. That he remains paralyzed but aware.

While I agree with you, my question implied that Debian might not be the right choice for beginners. It’s not that easy to use compared to Mint that comes with many quality of life features which makes it the perfect introduction to Linux.

All the important software is there, you have all the necessary codecs to play the most popular media files, you have an easy to use software store with a friendly interface, and you don’t have any complicated concepts like immutable or atomic OS.

I’ve been dual booting since 2000 starting with Mandrake. Then Ubuntu and stuck with it or Xubuntu or Kununtu ever since.

I had been using win 10 a lot more when I eventually installed it. It was a great OS in my opinion. Until it wasn’t because Microshits decided to make it bad. I was getting angry with that and learned last year that it would reach EOL this October. So I booted in Linux and started experiencing with Steam and Proton and Bottles and I was blown away by how easy it had become and how well the games played. So last December I wiped the disk, installed Kubuntu 24.04 and it’s been a great experience ever since. Honestly it’s insane how easy it has become. To think I had to recompile my kernel to have all the features of my hardware back in the early 2000s. LoL!

I tried to convince my GF to move to Linux but she can’t due to her job. It’s complicated.

Why Debian? Why not Mint?

That’s become increasingly difficult.

Ah I see your point. That makes sense then.

Oh because the Sombrero didn’t make it obvious enough?

That joke is not funny. Making fun of people getting kidnapped by a fascist government organisation is not funny.

That’s a bit offensive, no?

He hit their fists with his face. Clearly he’s the aggressor.

To be fair, the people in the streets have been fighting. They’ve had some wins. Pushing away ICE raids, having their elected officials fight back in legislatures, especially locally. And sometimes federal judges will go against Trump’s will when it gets too obviously fascist.

But the way things are going? You might be right. I hope you won’t though.

I dunno. Hate groups have become much more bolder and appearing in public spaces. Have their own podcasts and their own media networks (Rebel News and Ezra Levant, etc.) They’re also forming militias, training for combat and firearm use, and even infiltrating the military forces to recruit new members. Source Source 2 Bands with allegiances to these groups have also produced music with hate speech and racist lyrics, talking about bringing back gas chambers, etc. This is no joke.
