We destroy ourselves. Lol
Yes, but that also kind of drives us to be better at it π€... kinda...
Still, I do agree, a dose of it is OK, but constantly, no.
"BE BETTER AT HAVING DIFFERENT SUBJECTIVE PREFERENCES" - some Linux guy probably
"The Pianist" (2002), btw. In case anyone didn't know and was wondering.
Adrian Brody's best performance if you ask me.
Ubuntu is fine as a gateway drug imo. It hasn't made the best decisions over time though, but I appreciate it's contribution regardless.

I have old history with Linux and am just coming back. I did my first test build for my office to get away from the dying Windows 10/avoiding 11. I went with a basic Linux Mint cinnamon build, got our network printer and core software working. Will you let me live?
Yes, but you better be installing arch on your toaster by next week.
I went to install Arch and it did not seem easy. I opted for Cinnamon Mint.
Try Void it has an installer π.
Kidding, stick to Mint until you feel ready you can take a bigger bite. And do opt for the Debian Edition Mint.
Not to sound condescending, but I'd like to caution against this language. Mint is a perfectly fine OS to run permanently and never look back, and you absolutely can take a bigger bite while never having to install another OS. Distros are for the most part just a jumping off point and a set of defaults.
I agree though, LMDE stronk
I said I was kidding π. If he likes Mint, sure, stick to whatever rocks your boat βΊοΈ.
Meanwhile, OpenSUSE keeps rolling along, ignored
That's because it's not RHEL π.
Nah, as an arch user most people don't likely need it. Mints a great option. No matter what you do with arch (even endeavor) there'll always be alot of setup, by design, and with how fast things move they'll break commonly. Like the grub issue a bit back, or the kernal that could have caused screens to die, or more recently the nvidia drivers forcing many screens to be stuck at one brightness.
I love arch, it's a testing bed for the linux ecosystem. The first place where things exit beta and interact with each other in the wild. It's definitly not what most people want for a computer though especially not for work. That's why I duel boot with OpenSuse tumbleweed for my contract work (also, separating work and regular life makes things easier but that's not relevent)

My toaster is electromechanical. No Β΅C / mutable memory available. Not even a manual switch (turn on/off using the wall switch). So no arch there unless I swap some components. I use EndeavourOS with DWM on one of my VMs, though.
Do I get to live?
No excuses, get a pi and stick in there!
I'd have a toasted pi every-time I ran it. Talk about expensive sandwiches.

I hope you mean LMDE mint

Me: "I use Arch btw!"
Still gets shot
Arch user! Burn him!
Why they shoot him? With ak's No, no
He need one of these
We need to make sure to get rid of them snaps
Ubuntu server is fine relax
Just use Debian
Yeah no
Netplan and the default systemd network dependency can screw off
Doesn't even come with ufw enabled
Desktop distro is almost ok for server usage.
grabs gun GIVE ME BACK MY LINUX MINTS
Why is Ubuntu getting so much hate? it was a good entrance for many people into the Linux world
It started when they started including Amazon sponsored results in the menu search really. These days using apt occasionally will install a snap package instead of a deb. It doesn't give people a good jumping on point and it teaches that linux is more difficult than it has to be.
Ubuntu's use of Snap made me go back to Arch.
