I've been told that Mint is easy to use, pretty much plug and play, especially for my non-gamer needs.

You have been advised with solid info. Stick with Mint, openSUSE isn't nearly as user friendly to newbies in comparison (not sure why that other user is suggesting it instead).

Well I figured they were trolling me, given the specific wording they used, plus their call sign ends in @lemmy.ml. I'm aware that place is full of those who take it up the rump for Trump, so a grain of salt the size of the Moon was taken by me in regards to their advice.

They're pretty vehemently against Trump, but they do stan for Lenin, Mao, Stalin, Putin, and Kim-Jong Un due to their adherence to marxist-leninism.

So, taking it up the pooper for Putin, rather than up the rump for Trump.

Go for Linux Mint. Keep it simple starting out.

Just jump into Arch blind, don’t even bother with the wiki.

Haha, as long as you simply run arch-install as your first command, you will be fine.

Linux Mint is still easier by default. But any user willing to even try installing Linux, especially Arch, likely has the time and intelligence to do some extra configurations after using arch-install.

Go with mint, run Cinnamon if the device supports it.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
