Given its size, age, and the fact that it has an atmosphere at all, I don't think it's likely at all not to have a magnetosphere but I'm no expert

Send him a new one personally, thanks

Be preinstalled on laptops/desktops.

everything else is ready unless you use niche software. Most people just use a browser and word or a pdf editor.

note the distro MUST be an immutable up to date kde flatpak using one for normal people, however

Relevant post I made:

A lot of people are going to recommend you mint, I honestly think mint is an outdated suggestion for beginners, I think immutability is extremely important for someone who is just starting out, as well as starting on KDE since it’s by far the most developed DE that isn’t gnome and their… design decisions are unfortunate for people coming from windows.

I don’t think we should be recommending mint to beginners anymore, if mint makes an immutable, up to date KDE distro, that’ll change, but until then, I think bazzite is objectively a better starting place for beginners.

The mere fact that bazzite and other immutables generate a new system for you on update and let you switch between and rollback automatically is enough for me to say it’s better, but it also has more up to date software, and tons of guides (fedora is one of the most popular distros, and bazzite is essentially identical except with some QoL upgrades).

How common is the story of “I was new to linux and completely broke it”? that’s not a good user experience for someone who’s just starting, it’s intimidating, scary, and I just don’t think it’s the best in the modern era. There’s something to be said about learning from these mistakes, but bazzite essentially makes these mistakes impossible.

Furthermore because of the way bazzite works, package management is completely graphical and requires essentially no intervention on the users part, flathub and immutability pair excellently for this reason.

Cinnamon (the default mint environment) doesn’t and won’t support HDR, the security/performance improvements from wayland, mixed refresh rate displays, mixed DPI displays, fractional scaling, and many other things for a very very long time if at all. I don’t understand the usecase for cinnamon tbh, xfce is great if you need performance but don’t want to make major sacrifices, lxqt is great if you need A LOT of performance, cinnamon isn’t particularly performant and just a strictly worse version of kde in my eyes from the perspective of a beginner, anyway.

I have 15 years of linux experience and am willing to infinitely troubleshoot if you add me on matrix.

I don't agree that he's a nazi but he did some pretty heinous things, like tricking these people into writing this horrible sign:

https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/13/14605060/pewdiepie-disney-deal-lost-nazi-anti-semitic-imagery

and he did a hard-r on stream.

I don't think this qualifies for being a nazi (he doesn't advocate for an authoritarian dictatorship or a protectionist economy, nor does he want to scapegoat a group for all of his countries problems), but it is awful, racist, and disgusting.

But I don't really care if people do call him a nazi, to be clear, it's probably more effective messaging anyway.

honeybees are an invasive species, fun fact

unfortunately they outcompeted a lot of the native pollinators so we're fucked without them though

Damn, marcan and asahi lina...

asahi project might be dead in the water now, that blows.

Tankies don't ever show up in these threads because they know this is indefensible.

"Pick a distro" is why they're waiting for steamos, presumably.

He won the popular vote...

"In 2023, 74 bills were introduced supporting ranked-choice voting and 57 of these bills had only Democrat sponsors. In fact, just eight percent of the total bills received bipartisan support."

No, but there's one party that has shown support for it and one party that has attempted to outright ban it.

It's an easy choice.

If you have a problem with this line of reasoning then your actual problem is first past the post voting.

Abolish first past the post voting and you can finally actually vote for things you like, rather than against things you hate, but we're stuck in first past the post voting, so, you must vote strategically.
