Well, if you’re not going to go with Arch, might I suggest Gentoo?

(kidding… mostly…)

On a more serious note, Mint will run on most systems well, and Just Work for the most part, with the caveat that if you have really new hardware you might need to use a version with current Linux kernels (if they’re still doing that, I’m not seeing it at the moment though).

The main downside is they keep to stable LTS builds, which means software is often a bit behind, but for most things, if you need the most up to date, there’s always flatpak. The upside, though, is updates tend to not be as big or numerous or frequent as in a more up to date distro like Fedora or a rolling release like Arch. It also means updates are less likely to cause issues and your system is less prone to developing quirks.

Anyway, Mint is what I’ve been using, though I’ve also been using Fedora some at work… Both are solid, but I like Mint better. Could just be personal taste though so take that for what it’s worth.

Yes.

Same old story, all over again: bad thing bad, replace with even worse thing

Makes me wonder how we ever made any progress sometimes

Stephen, not Steve… Steve Miller is a decent band and should not be mistaken for that sweaty fascist

As is good ole 'Murican tradition, blowing shit up.

I have a carrier that opens both in front and on top and I can confirm: it’s not the placement of the opening

Any lawyer who would work for him without requiring payment upfront and enough to retire on is a fool who isn’t competent enough to practice law anyway and deserve everything they get

This is why you should just put the date in the file name in ISO 8601 format, no indication how many times you’ve been over this

Gotcha

Where did murder come into this?

If they were apathetic they wouldn’t fight so hard to prevent a single red cent being used to help people

I thought they didn’t block political figures… Guess the muskrat just meant the figures he agrees with…

Well, you did just describe my experience with diet Pepsi pretty well…

Probably more because of how easy it is to drink than raw strength… It’s way easier to put away a bunch of 70 proof sweetened liqueur than the same amount of alcohol worth of 80+ proof hard liquor, very easy to not realize how much you’ve had until way too late

I’m pretty sure that’s regular Coke zero, unless they’ve changed the packaging again

But yeah, something about the artificial sweetener just doesn’t work with alcohol

Thank you for saving me from wasting my time on that slop

I would love to have that level of optimism again… Here’s hoping it actually works out that way

And then Biff Tannen was elected US president

It’s the modern day book burning

Last I heard was a couple weeks ago them stating clearly that they would not comply, and doing a bit of searching I can’t find anything more recent that contradicts that stance… Where did you see that they’d reversed that decision?
