Wot? No pineapple?

X11.

How quaint.

Doesn’t really matter to be honest, you won’t stick with it. You’ll try others. We all do.

Pick a distro in the top part of distrowatch.com and install it.

I’ll wait.

Person posts funny in funny community. Because it’s funny. In a funny way.

Turns out that there’s not enough virtue signaling in the world.

Llamas. Llamas for sale. Get your llamas here. Llamas … while they last. Last llama in the world here. Only eight left.

Email isn’t private. It was designed to be robust not private. Encryption never really caught on; and your counterparties using Gmail or some Microsoft server in the background will kill any expectation of privacy you might have.

WW II’s Gordon Welchman is worth reading about. Similar nasty end as Turing. Not as well known as Turing but a similar contribution before the encryption was actually solved.

Have used Zoho for decades. Dozen domains, three/four actual accounts. Don’t seem to have had any issues with them selling my info - use them with Addy.io. I don’t gain anything from this reference/comment.

Same same.

Yeah, thought I’d covered that.

Female monarchs weren’t always British. 1707 was the Inception of Great Britain. Corrections welcome, my history isn’t always ideal.

Maybe in your country.

The UK has had three female PMs (?) and more female party leaders beginning almost fifty years ago.

We’ve also had multiple female heads of state (Mary I in 1553; Elizabeth I in 1559 etc ). You might argue that those are an accident of birth, but I might remind you that England has never been shy about removing less than adequate heads of state.

Tell me about your leaders who you say subjugate women.

If you’re an alien race looking to take over, wouldn’t the smartest thing to do be to look at how things are going and wait until the human race has destroyed itself.

You know in the current climate that if there was ever a custody dispute, neither father would get custody or access.

Just sayin’.

You mean my cosmetic surgeon? I pay on time and go back. What more were you thinking of?

Seriously though, yes. The best thanks is to help them keep the lights on every month.

Here in the UK we were pointlessly getting the clap every Thursday on our doorsteps for the NHS. I may have misunderstood.

Nice try Elon.

Just like the seventies, anarchy is the only way forward to get out of this lying twisted thieving divisive oligarch of politics running my country for the last quarter century plus.

Isn’t it strange that when you believe in an oligarch, they never disappoint.

Fedora. It just works. I use it for work and it doesn’t let me down. Semi annual upgrading it is easy and it seems to be moving slowly, because gnome/LibreOffice is, to flatpaks. It’s slow to change and stable because of it, they still include Grub when it became a relic since systemd included gummyboot (systemd-boot) many years ago.

Contrast that with ArchLinux which is ‘cleaner’ and a rolling distro which I prefer; Fedora isn’t. I use it for a Rescue USB. I used to use it for work but, and this is long ago, I managed to break it quite easily by ‘fixing it’ too much! ArchLinux doesn’t let me down but I don’t have a gui or Window manager on it, console only, and I know my way around Linux reasonably well.

Debian is still confused about systemd. Run a combination of testing and unstable branches on the desktop and you’ve got a great system but this is before the systemd days where they moved all the systemd defaults to the old/odd places that make no sense. As you say, snap appears to be another mad experiment by Ubuntu, like mir when everyone went to wayland.

If you’re going to use your PC for games, I think there may be better distros than these. I’m not a gamer so I can’t advise.

I’m not a huge fan of derivative distros, like Ubuntu (based on Debian decreasingly) or so on. I’m not one to mess about with screen savers etc and aesthetics though. To me derivatives add bloat and unexpected changes.

Source distros are a rabbit hole I’ve been down. They were fun but I couldn’t get myself to do any work when I had them.

I’ve never tried SUSE, it’s alternative rpm style distro which can be stable as a rolling.

Distrowatch.com is always worth a visit. Find a/several forum that is your intended use and find out which district they use there; if you have issues they’ll know how to fix it.

Pepsi.

That’s ok.

Thank-you brother. It’s getting ridiculous. That’s a great ‘planet’ blog with a wide interest range.

Thanks for the link.

Rather a scatter gun approach, affecting normal blogs; surveillance state. Thanks Tories.
