Mint or Fedora. KISS.

Can you only get hard by trolling? Or are you just really seriously lonely and depressed?

I blocked them, they seem to have a serious boot licking fetish.

To bad, your missing out on the revealing dialogue I had with him IMO.

AIDS? So sexual frustration is definitely a key part of your pathology. Interesting.

Tell me, how often do you think about close female relatives of yours? Are you mostly imagining hurting them, molesting them, or both?

I’m betting it’s both.

Ubuntu is actually falling down the ad hole lately. It’s not great, even if you leave out the technical issues that the distribution leans into these day (snaps, amongst other things)

does kubuntu have the same issues? kinda want to go for a debian or ubuntu based kde distro and kubuntu is always highly recommended.

Kubuntu is just an Ubuntu spin, so I’m gonna say yeah, probably. If you really like Deb flavored distros these days, just go with the OG.

way too difficult to set up, i don’t have a lot of free time so i need an “out of the box” distro

Seconding LMDE, been on it for a year on my study laptop. Literally never ever had a problem so far, and being an “out of box” distro there’s minimal work needed to daily drive.

i currently use mint and only want to switch because cinnamon has this weird thing when you have a game running, window resizing is laggy. i often have btd6 running when I’m working so it bugs me. kde doesn’t suffer from that.

Debian is honestly pretty trivial to set up these days.

If you’re open to trying Fedora, I’ve been running F40KDE and Kinoite on two of my main personal laptops and I love them

i have tried fedora and nobara a few times but they randomly make my hdd unmountable and it’s difficult to get it back. even after installing a different distro.

Q4OS is debian with KDE and it’s made for ex-Windows users

never heard of this one. definitely going to try it!

Oh god, what did they do? Do they show ads on the gui?

In the system update dialog, you’ll see something like:

You’re not getting 53 critical security updates! Join Ubuntu Pro to keep yourself safe!

Ubuntu Pro is a subscription service.

This is seriously at the level of Norton “AntiVirus”, and it’s truly absurd and nakedly predatory.

I see they have the lobes for business.

It’s free for personal use though. Canonical have turned ubuntu rather corporate, but let’s stick to the facts.

Fair point.

Counterpoint: why should I be compelled to give Canonical literally anything besides using the package manager to say “I’m using your software and I want the update”? Why do we need this additional new corporate-authorized side channel? What benefit does this yield, outside the realm of profit?

I agree.

They’re a for-profit company, ubuntu pro is supposed to entice business customers. You and I get introduced, because canonical hope that we might use ubuntu profesionally and they gain a new customer. I don’t hate it personally, but I see why people don’t like it.

Wait, they’re withholding security updates unless you pay? Hope they go bankrupt.

Not sure I’d want to see that, tbh. It would only introduce more avenues for DDG to make questionable choices when they’re already on thin ice.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
