Choose one at random from those with easy installation. Use it for a week. If you like it, stick with it. If it’s frustrating as heck, try another distro. Your skills picked up from the first one will very likely transfer over. As you narrow down your experience with what’s frustrating you, you can pinpoint what things you like and which you don’t and settle on the perfect distro for you.

There is absolutely NO way to know that before you get your hands dirty and see what these options are and their quirks.

Ditto. Also a gamer on Linux Mint and never once had a problem.

I still have a headhunting agency who refers to me as “B42857”. Apparently some bug is getting emails to me addressed to their internal reference number.

This is one of the reasons I really like the lore dive in the Knights of the Old Republic game.

You get down into the deep Sith philosophy, and yes, Sith evil, but there actually IS a deep ideology behind it where you can understand what they’re going for besides cartoonish evil for evil’s sake. An unrelatable and vile ideology, but an ideology nonetheless.

HR: Unrealistic dreams. This is the kind of person we’ll train and nurture just for them to “retire” before we get our investment back.

“There’s some commotion over the next hill. Would you like to take a gander?”

In many cases that accessibility is a full-on neutered replacement for a previous system that offered more user control and customizability, removing options from power users, so one man’s progress is another man’s step backwards.

Repairability isn’t about the physical realities of executing the repair - that’s a user end problem to be solved and people are often eager to tackle those.

It’s about the manufacturer not being allowed to explicitly make design decisions that make it intentionally harder to do so than is strictly necessary as a side effect of the basic design.

I’ve seen this episode of Rocko.

I also cannot express my appreciation.

That will be $6000, please.

I guess with that much masturbation, I can see how he died at 38.

Who would make this “default” Linux? Who would be in charge of it? What power would they have over directing development of the kernel? What happens when this centralization that’s so important to soothing the confusion of people who aren’t even using the OS yet inevitably causes it to enshitify and brings us right back to the Windows problem?

No, I’m sorry - there may be some things that would make Linux more palatable to non-techies, but this just recreates the Windows problem again. The same dichotomy that’s been at play for the past 30 years is still at play - you can have it easy or you can have freedom and control, but you can’t have both.

“It comes in any color you want as long as it’s black.”

“But, it doesn’t support multi-story gingerbread houses…”

“You don’t really need that. It’s not a supported feature. If you want it, write an appropriate Waylandmas compositor to support the functionality.”

Forever burned into the memory.

The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.

A colb one.
