“Man, she keeps smiling at me. I think she digs me.”
Ok. Were there. We’re at THAT point in this shitty timeline. We need to start clearing our calendars for the next few years. Where’s everybody meeting?
“I want to have Putin’s babies indefinitely.”
Way to go, Mack. Right side of history.
Unfortunately, no. I just have it bookmarked in Firefox and just do it the old fashioned way. 😆
That’s my fear as well. Google breaks literally everything they touch.
You’re welcome! I’m definitely no expert with Linux as I only truly started digging in several weeks ago. I’ve got a MacBook Pro for anything I can’t do on Linux and, like I said above, I’ve been hopping around/making mistakes/reinstalling in a frenzy since then.
To answer your question with my limited experience, Mint is just a good gateway for Windows folks wanting to switch to Linux. I used it for a bit a year or so ago, but there were issues with the nvidia drivers at the time, so I didn’t stick to it. Now, however, those have been updated and it is the easiest so far (aside from maybe Pop! OS) to get Linux playing nice with nvidia cards. I was easily able to get my Steam games as well as Diablo IV on Lutris (a sort of translation layer frontend to allow battle.net to run) going. Debian is only slightly less simple, and it took me a bit to find a site that made it easier (the link in my post above) for me.
I’m at the point now where I can get just about any distro I’ve hopped to/from up and running pretty quickly with my 2080Ti. OpenSUSE is the only one that I just simply couldn’t get everything working right. It has a completely different way of installing apps and utilities than the others I’ve tried. It’s a "cutting edge, " rolling distro, which means it updates things as soon as they’re stable, unlike most others. So, it might have something to do with that aspect. All in all, Debian has been a good, solid distro that I’ve been happy with. I haven’t tried LMDE, so I can’t speak to it directly but, and others more experienced than me can please chime in, I think it’s mostly Debian with the Cinnamon desktop environment. That may be simplistic, but that’s my current understanding.
Sorry for the long post. Hope it helps.
Ditto. I thought I’d finally found a good OneDrive replacement for my meager needs.
FreeTube is pretty good as well. Using it on Debian (or Mint).
Yes, I forgot about the X11/Wayland issue. Supposedly being worked on for the next version of Plasma, but we’ll see.
I’ve installed an uninstalled so. many. distros. over the past few weeks just trying things out on my previously windows-laden machine, and I’ve got a 2080Ti from a few years ago in it. Mint (non-DE) has wonderful integration with nvidia drivers…it’ll prompt the driver installation when you first boot it up. But, I’m currently on Debian with KDE Plasma desktop environment, and there is a bit of setup in Debian. I’ve bookmarked and followed this tutorial each time I’ve distro-hopped lately, and with the exception of openSUSE (because it doesn’t use the apt install scheme), it has worked perfectly.
Each distro I’ve used has its own little quirks and it has been a big learning experience. But, if you’ve got a bit of tech knowledge, it shouldn’t be too bad. Good luck to you!
I wish I had any hope that this will lead to him rotting in a cell but, alas, it’ll be a nothingburger like every other action against him. We live in an alternate universe now.
These dipshits live on an entirely different plane of reality.
Absolutely. Per day.
At LEAST twice. Possibly 47 times.
It’s absolutely infuriating how absurd our “system” has become. There are jokes, and then there’s the U.S. government and judicial branch. It’sa whole other level of bullshit.
The most fury-inducing thing? There’s not a fucking thing us normies can do about it. We just have to watch the collapse in real time.
They always seem to forget that every white person in the U.S. has immigrants in their family history.
This is the bottom line. We all know who these morons are and they’re never going to care what actual repercussions are for their actions. They think it is funny to “own the libs” no matter what the issue may be. I’d a left-leaning person advocate for one thing, their automatic reaction is to oppose it without question.
It’s truly scary to look around (especially in red states) and to know a good percentage of those around you are that dumb.
