Sure, but I think the point is that we have to recognize the mistakes in order to prevent repeating them.
It's not like Harris is ancient like Trump or Biden, and I think a lot of voters are convinced age always equals wisdom, so I don't think they would accept anyone younger than Harris anyway.
I don't get this one. They were both pro genocide, so how was Trump's version any better?
From the POV of someone who just wants the Genocide to stop, "Burning all Palestinians and tuning Gaza into New Vegas" and "Burning all Palestinians and tuning Gaza into vacation homes for rich Israelis" is functionally equivalent.
That was by no means the only issue I based my vote on, but I also don't think it's unreasonable for someone to conclude that voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil
She has a decent shot of winning too, with the Republicans who are paying attention and the Democrats who aren't.
Unfortunately politics is just a popularity contest for most people, so a lot of people aren't paying attention.
I agree with replacing the Dems, but are you meaning to say the alternatives to FPTP are worse? FPTP is the reason we are in the situation we are in imo.
I'm 99% certain Musk helped Trump rig this election. I think the only reason the Dems didn't fight it was because they had spent the last 4 years telling everyone how solid our election system was and near impossible to rig.
She ran on Bidens policies because she is exactly like him. Middle of the road, pro establishment, corporate suck up, and always has been.
I don't disagree that we need younger people, but the majority of voters seem to disagree seeing as how they chose two fucks just as old as he was
I just looked it up and people are saying you can install the Ubuntu PPA with no issues.
It may not be (probably isn't) the latest release, but that option exists at least. I'm glad I never had to use it. What games have you had to use it for? Do you have an AMD GPU or Nvidia?
I just wanted people to know that not everyone thinks Pop-os is shit. Part of the issues you experienced may have been due to the fact that they are currently hard at work writing their own DE (Cosmic) using Rust and they are waiting on that to be finished before upgrading to the newest LTS release of Ubuntu. We are currently still on 22.04.
If you want all of your software packages to be on the bleeding edge, I wouldn't recommend PopOs. But I definitely would recommend it for someone who just wants a solid distro and doesn't 'have a computer science degree'.
YMMV, but from my personal experience using it for almost a year now it's been rock solid.
Edit: I just realized that my post said "Don't use gamescope" when what I meant to say was "I don't use Gamescope." I wasn't intending on advising people not to use it. My bad.
Edit2: I also forgot that I stopped using "Pop!_Shop" for updates and software search. That was getting really slow. I would advise your partner install the "COSMIC Store" instead, it's way better :)
I’m on PopOS and my experience is the exact opposite. I love the UI- it’s the main thing I like about it actually. Never had an update fail.
I don’t use gamescope, just run everything from Steam or Heroic and never had an issue gaming.
YMMV
Most likely? Unfortunately most people either don't care about software freedom, don't know about it, are actually scared of it, or just don't have the time or know how to switch. Couple that with the fact that Microsoft and Apple are determined to lock it down and the trend seems clear to me.
Ofc I would Love to be wrong, I just don't have much faith in people knowing or caring about what is in their best interest.
