Fedora. It just works. I use it for work and it doesn't let me down. Semi annual upgrading it is easy and it seems to be moving slowly, because gnome/LibreOffice is, to flatpaks. It's slow to change and stable because of it, they still include Grub when it became a relic since systemd included gummyboot (systemd-boot) many years ago.

Contrast that with ArchLinux which is 'cleaner' and a rolling distro which I prefer; Fedora isn't. I use it for a Rescue USB. I used to use it for work but, and this is long ago, I managed to break it quite easily by 'fixing it' too much! ArchLinux doesn't let me down but I don't have a gui or Window manager on it, console only, and I know my way around Linux reasonably well.

Debian is still confused about systemd. Run a combination of testing and unstable branches on the desktop and you've got a great system but this is before the systemd days where they moved all the systemd defaults to the old/odd places that make no sense. As you say, snap appears to be another mad experiment by Ubuntu, like mir when everyone went to wayland.

If you're going to use your PC for games, I think there may be better distros than these. I'm not a gamer so I can't advise.

I'm not a huge fan of derivative distros, like Ubuntu (based on Debian decreasingly) or so on. I'm not one to mess about with screen savers etc and aesthetics though. To me derivatives add bloat and unexpected changes.

Source distros are a rabbit hole I've been down. They were fun but I couldn't get myself to do any work when I had them.

I've never tried SUSE, it's alternative rpm style distro which can be stable as a rolling.

Distrowatch.com is always worth a visit. Find a/several forum that is your intended use and find out which district they use there; if you have issues they'll know how to fix it.

All we need now is a CodeTitanic, to make the story complete.

You're either

• far too tall for that car,
• the car is a heavily modified Peel P50,
• or you're one of those (short-sighted?) grannies that sits within licking range of the windscreen (marshmallow, with hints of orange, for the curious).

Everyone knows that McDonald's don't degrade over time. You can put one in its original bag in the closet for a number of years without problems.

Shame on you for not buying in bulk when the price was more amenable. Get down to your local McDonald's now and buy yourself at least 57 Big Macs which I've calculated to be the optimal amount until global warming renders this planet a cinder. And get me a chocolate milkshake while you're at it, please.

My cousin is eight. They were very confused by the reference to twenty-five. The rest of the family gave me funny looks too.

YMMV.

Update: I've realised my mistake. My cousin isn't my sibling. Actually I better check that .. brb.

That last by-the-bye got me. I'll bite.

Sounds like you're having a tough time at the moment. There are some good communities here if you're needing a virtual hug bigger than I can give.

Hopefully your throwaway line is just that you've had a fixable row with them and are cooling off somewhere else.

Best wishes this Christmas, one and all.

This is great! Google seems to be slowly murdering Waze which I loved. Hoping that this will replace it!

Thank-you all.

Incy wincy.

Same people who are ruling it now.

Give them all the same ridiculous non-negotiable cash selling price.

Does noone use glances anymore?
