Someday I’m gonna check out NixOS

Sound like a really nice person /s

Yeah, it’s default on pop os. Cannot remember if I tried Wayland, just going with the flow and it works for now

Hmm ok

Salted Lennox, yumm

I am fine with installing apps I use or want to try. I’m also okay with forgetting them and wasting the space honestly. All of that probably would take me ten years of “bloat” to match windows out of the box so yeah that’s not bloat, that’s just making software decisions. This post is really criticizing people for installing software? Wtf

A dodge of the obvious point I made, and a poor one

About 10 minutes ago a bunch of you started this conspiracy theory and to say the least: not buying it. Coming up with convoluted ways of explaining reality is just a distraction from the fact that it’s complicated and hard to understand

Political discussions between strangers probably never will be productive. I am just frustrated and fed up with the stupid ideas I see floating around. People who don’t understand the country’s politics are influencing it with this “both sides” bullshit and it’s ruined our country because now the worst imaginable humans rule over us. Before it was a mix of people between true human garbage and genuinely well meaning people. It is idiotic to suggest everyone is fully on one side or the other, but that’s what these idiots are peddling. And it’s working unfortunately.

First paragraph – totally with you. Onboard 100%, A+

Last sentence, unhelpful, leads to republicans taking office and skullfucking the shit out of this country. I don’t make that informal rules, I’ve just seen them play out repeatedly.

To some morons on Lemmy, these people are actually just doing what democrats want to do. Despite the fact that we’ll have at least 8 years of Democrats trying to undo this shit, it inevitably won’t be good enough and that will be their proof. “See, Democrats are the same” these smug fucking morons will say. And someday I may punch their thoughtless faces for it.

The concept of God was invented because it’s an unbearable thought to think that men like these will get away scot free with what they’re doing

You described exactly my issue but it took under 5 years. Maybe 3? I’ve used $10 much much longer with only occasional hiccups like resolution issues on certain mousepads

I knew someone would blame me. Yeah the cheap ones are normal plastic and would never disintegrate. Kind of, again, like the other 28 mice I’ve used in my life. The expensive Logitech mice I bought are a rubberized plastic meant for comfort but they aren’t durable. Literally did nothing wrong or different but that sticky shit is the pits, so I won’t be buying anymore $180 mice. I hadn’t before these either.

I bought a couple Logitech mice a few years ago and I gotta say, they weren’t the best. The material they are made out of melts slowly over time. I use these mice and get sticky shit on my fingers. It’s not food or anything I’m doing. I’ve scrubbed them with rubbing alcohol and no matter what a little bit of sticky stuff is always coming off. So the finish on them isn’t great, at best. Never had other mice do this.

I wish PlexAmp did this so I could recommend it

Probably because they’ve been building their own DE (which will replace their GNOME fork) for a while now. It’s in alpha and hopefully will roll out in the next few months. Having said that, I don’t have issues doing the things I want to do. I think it’s fine for now because 22.04 is LTS, so most app makers support it.

Yeah, I get your reasoning – but there are other distros that match all of that as well. PopOS and ElementaryOS are two that I have personal experience with. Elementary had a rocky upgrade once so I tried PopOS and haven’t looked back. It’s great. Ubuntu minus the crap. The average user (getting recommended mint) probably wouldn’t care about being on the latest release and would likely not even run updates all that often, so even Elementary would’ve been a good choice for them. I have since installed it on my girlfriend’s slow/old laptop and it works very smoothly there compared with windows.

I was kind of kidding, I just think it’s wild that out of all the options, mint is recommended 9/10 times

Pop os is easy and doesn’t look like windows 95
