Glad you like it, not sure it’s a fit for my lazy living room machine though.

But there’s no memes out there!?

No worries, their machines rule, I have a bd790i motherboard!

Cool!

Ooh neat there’s one I’ve never heard of

LOVE Minisforum- but I’m looking for an interesting distro, not interesting hardware to run it on. :)

I’m a Plex guy so that part is appealing but I admit I mostly watch youtube in this scenario

Nix looks like a fun way to wild away 3 weeks, not entirely sure this is what I’m after for a living room TV box. :D

Okay this looks kinda neat, but the page says it “isn’t available for public use yet”? More of a DE/tweak than a distro?

Firefox/Mozilla operated without any of the new additions for nearly the entire history of the internet until this year. If anything, “over”-reacting to the new policies was too weak a reaction. You do you and all, but I’ll agree to very strongly disagree.

Mine is E2EE.

That article says it better than I can in s short post. Firefox’s terms of use/privacy policy went over like a lead balloon last month.

I think it’s incredibly important that people know, with absolute certainty, whether or not the new Mozilla/Firefox privacy policy in any way applies to / covers such a service.

I’m not saying I know the answer- What I’m saying without a concrete, permanently applied answer it’s not even considerable.

Holy shit, Canon convinced you to install a mobile app? Who’s holding the gun to your head? We’ll dispatch authorities as soon as possible.

All of that without grasping that they, themselves- are members of an outgroup that won’t always have influence. Assuming democracy can make a come back and something changes in the next election they may find themselves in that “unpopular” group. Bet they’d change their tune for the 37th time in that case.

I do the same, but I exclude the “feeling guilty” part.

Been there. Accepted

To answer your questions though, I suggest the non-Cosmic version of Pop!OS. (and switch to wayland if it’s not the default yet- not sure, I’ve had this install for YEARS) It’s a good blend of “just works” and “up to date enough” to run anything, and I recommend steering well clear of Arch. I’ve been using Linux for a decade and I’ve always found a way to whoopsie it into a broken state. That’s a “me problem” yes, but if I can fudge it up that easily and I have experience using it, I think it’s unsuitable to recommend to anyone.

Most people live in a web browser- does it really matter if the desktop environment isn’t riced enough or isn’t windows-ey enough? That said, it takes actual hackery to make any version of Windows usable these days, so I’ll forgive a distro not being “absolutely elite” for someone’s preferences. Let’s not compare Linux forums to Windows forums, where no-one has ever, I repeat ever received ANY useful advice besides reinstalling their Windows, am I right?

I typed 6 words. Are you alright

Uh

Who’s ready to talk Linux

I love it, may as well try it out- see if you also love it
