I'm looking forward to playing with a Nix container. I honestly can't think of a single Android app I want to run on my desktop... But it's gonna be fun for you!

They're talking about a possible KDE spin, but last I saw it was a low priority. Since all the custom GUI tools ate being made in GTK4. In order to do up KDE the way they're doing Gnome and keeping the desktop as "vanilla" as possible, it would be a pretty big job converting all that stuff to QT I would think.

Are you familiar with the U.S. Presidential electoral process?

Yeah, that's the one. I figured I'm small potatoes so no one's gonna bother looking it up. It never even occurred to me that someone might have already seen it lol.

As a complete Linux noob coming from Windows, I'd say Mint is the way to go. If you're worried about Cinnamon being too heavy, Mate is much lighter and a lot of fun. I'm especially fond of their file browser Caja.

Your second choice, Fedora, is my go to system, and I'll cheerfully sing it's praises. If you want to go that way, check out the KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE, or LXDE spins, but I will say it's a bit less beginner friendly. Make sure you enable the non-free repositories when you log in for the first time!

I love Vanilla too, but if he's concerned Gnome is to heavy for his laptop...

most Christians now days represent almost everything Jesus spoke against.

As an atheist, I find it surreal that I behave more in line with Christ's teachings than most Christians I know. And I know the bible better, which is also weird.

Yes, that was the gist of their point I think. The thinking being that choosing the lesser evil is still choosing evil. My point was that if evil is going to win no matter what you do, isn't it better to pick which evil you're going to have to deal with?

I have! NixOS is great, I'm a big fan. I suppose if anything could replace Fedora as my favorite, Nix could.

Well, they all have their own strengths. I guess my favorites would be, in no particular order:

  • Arch - Elegant and minimalist, Arch is where you go if you want to learn how your system works. But what I love most about Arch is the wiki. About 75% of the time, I can solve any problem I run into on any distro by referencing that wiki.
  • Debian - easy to use and with rock-solid stability. The website is terrible though.
  • Fedora is the one I always come back to, though. It's got a great balance between cutting edge and stability, it's easy to use, I'm strangely attached to DNF, and it just sorta feels like home. The community is nice too.

I like some others; Nobara is great if you're a gamer, KDE Neon gives you an awesome and stable KDE environment, and Linux Mint is perfect for.beginners.

Okay, that's hilarious, but I fucking hate that meme. Not as much as that one with Pooh in a top hat, but I still hate it.

Kinda feel like the number of times pastors, priests, and other religious leaders have gotten caught doing this reflects some kind of pattern, I just can't seem to put my finger on it...
