Women didn't have to resort to eating poop as a job in the Soviet Union.

No you're healthy.

Honestly I got sick of women asking for nudes whenever I tried to hookup on POF or Tinder. I'm rather good looking but c'mon, why can't we just go out for tea or a walk in the park before you send me yourself in underwear, unsolicited? Or I join Snapchat to talk to you, and when I say "hello there" you send me a video of you stimulating yourself? Why can't I just see you nude in person?

This is why it's so nice to use CalyxOS. All the functionality of an Android with none of the crap and minimal bloat.

Agreed. That's a better portmanteau.

I use Arch because it's so customizable and there's so much more freedom. Once I installed Arch I realized I'd never go back to Ubuntu. I'm so used to using the command line all the time now it feels weird and annoying when I have to use something with a GUI desktop environment (I use i3.) People always tell me when they see my system in public (it's a ThinkPad) it looks clunky, but even the inability to set custom time/date settings in KDE was mildly annoying to me.

I sincerely think CLIs and TUIs are no harder than "user-friendly" GUIs but they're just too far from the average modern person's experience for this to be acknowledged. Using nmtui to connect to WiFi is hardly more difficult than what Windows or macOS do.

I also really love pacman, the AUR, and the Arch Wiki.

Honestly for new/average users, those who tend to use Ubuntu, I always would recommend Manjaro. Since I use arch btw myself I have a bias but using pacman, being rolling release, and having access to the AUR (+ Flatpaks) set Manjaro apart from other distros for average users.

But frankly I never understood why Debian itself is considered an "intermediate" distro since it's no harder than Ubuntu to use IMO.

that convergent phone thing

Tbf I think convergence could be the killer feature which pushes mobile Linux into large-scale adoption. Also Purism has its Librem 5 phone as convergent, too. It's not just Canonical.

I used Infiniti myself but yeah, I missed the old Reddit after the crackdown on free speech in 2018. I left months before APIpocalypse and I'll never return.

That would be much better IMO than copyright as now understood for both artists and society at large.
