It looks like a cool distro if you want/need a highly configurable package manager that makes your system easily reproducible.

But if you're just looking to learn more about Linux and learn more about how your system is set up then your average distro you might just want to go with Arch, Void, or Gentoo.

Wait so it's not just that my vps only has 1gb of ram?

You guys with more ram still get crashes?

Why is it people only care about digital privacy when it effects someone in a negative was like this.

For me the basic concept that someone can sell you something with the ability out of the box to do that and whatever else they want to do with it worries me and makes me want no part of it

Password manager

  • Pass the standard Unix password manager

I wouldn't call mint old. It has

  • Massive repos and tons of 3rd party ones
  • A reasonably modern desktop environment( if you don't like it get a theme pack, or are you to lazy to install a theme.)
  • Stability which most new users will value a lot, as I'm sure they don't want to learn exactly how Linux works on day 1.
  • Everything just works out the box on reasonably well supported hardware( aka the manufacturer gives a dam about Linux users or it's a thinkpad)

So I don't see how mint is a boomer OS because unless you're a dev or an enthusiast it has everything you need

I don't know if Lemmy can do it yet, but I remember Reddit and also Facebook( I think) lets you set a minimum account age to post in a community. So we might want to get our mods to do that.

Probably. Also the USA is the second world leader in ewaste, kinda funny considering how much your politicians scream about being green.

Because every totalitarian government in history has gone so well for the people under them

Isn't the problem that they are using ARM hardware. Like sure your x86 emulator can be good, but if you look at something like proton it's taken years for it to get good. And that's not even a different CPU architecture. So apple would have to make a wine equivalent, a DKVK, equivalent, and a really great X86 emulator if that's even possible on current gen hardware.

Somehow I don't see them catching up with Linux gaming.

I think it's a good move. It doesn't take anything away from people who want to keep compiling everything, but now people on especially old laptops can enjoy the distro too.

Though I will probably continue being a void user this makes me want to use gentoo more then it did before.

That looks epic!

Please add the ability to view images with an external image viewer as I find a lot of social TUI apps seem to lack that.

Add that and you're making my ideal Lemmy client
