I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.

I keep trying other distros, and then coming back to Debian unstable XFCE. Linux Mint Debian Edition is ok. At work I did lots of Enterprise Redhat, but I’m glad I don’t have to use it after I retired.

Great article. Well worth reading.

I saw today that they have found that over 80% of the microplastics in the ocean are from automobile tires.

ChromeOS is a totally locked down distro of Linux. I prefer Debian Linux with an XFCE desktop thank you.

The article compares Photography, (which despite being “created” by nature is copyrightable), to AI art. The difference between AI art and photography is that AI art is derivative of other artists and generalized into a Model. Nature is not derivative of other photography. Derivative work has special exemptions in copyright law which prevents it from being subject to copyright.

Sure. Seems like a fine way to prepare beans.

By holding the opponent’s lance between her legs in her crotch, she both pleasures herself, and prevents further attacks by her opponent.

Nuclear power is neither safe nor ecologically sustainable. The waste is immensely toxic for hundreds of thousands of years. The model is centralized so wealthy oligarchs own the power source and sell it to everyone else. Better to move toward distributed power generation that isn’t massively toxic. Greenpeace must stay anti-nuke.

That’s why I’m here. All the corporate owned social media are blatantly far-right fascists. Everywhere else is just thick with Nazis and racists.

Ubuntu is massively overrated. It’s a bloated distro owned by a greedy corporation.

In today’s skewed political spectrum, “Left” is what would be considered moderate in a reasonable perspective.

I use Debian XFCE, and it is perfect for me.

I never intend to use a flatpak or snap, and avoid them like the plague. The whole concept is incredibly ugly to me, and wasteful of computer resources.

As others have said, most people don’t install operating systems. They just buy a system, likely a laptop and run whatever OS is on it. Hardly any laptops come with Linux preinstalled unless you look pretty hard, or are searching specifically for one.

I remember installing a very very early release of Debian back in the mid 90s on a 486. I have had a Debian system of some sort ever since then.

The basque people would love their land to be this large once again.

I prefer Debian.

I have always preferred Debian unstable with an XFCE desktop.

Saw this first on Mastodon, came here to get more perspective. At this point, I’m pretty sure Threads:@katienotopoulos is a parody account, and that former Buzzfead writer Katie Notopoulos is not the “Editor in Chief” of Threads.
