    For the uninitiated, bazzite isn’t really a battle-tested distro or a mainstream one. I just started hearing about it within the past few months.

    It kind of came out of nowhere and looks to be getting shilled hard, similar to mx linux. The amount of shilling you may see for it does not correspond with usage among the community at all.

    Be careful what you install on your computers, guys.


  • I think Mint is great for beginners and advances users alike.

    If you’re feeling more confident, you could try Debian. Debian will have older software and be harder to setup, but you’ll get a better feel for the Linux ecosystem by using it over Mint.

    Manjaro is for practical usage. You’ll have more up-to-date software and access to a massive user repository of install scripts for anything that isn’t in the official software repositories.

    Your choice of Desktop Environment will have a big impact on how you use your computer. I recommend KDE for those coming from Windows. With a small amount of configuration, you can have it set up like a traditional desktop environment with the start menu on the left, show desktop on the right, notifications towards the right, etc.

    KDE has a lot of stuff, but you can only choose what you need and you’ll notice it’s great at being a basic DE even though it’s capable of more.

















  • Only good thing that happened in awhile was the united healthcare CEO getting what was coming to him.

    We need more rich people to suffer the same fate if we ever want things to change. Arguing isn’t going to work because they control the discussion.

    Keep in mind, rich people kill poor people every day. Directly, and indirectly. Someone died in a robbery because a poor person was chasing that rich lifestyle? Blame the ruling class. Someone committed suicide because they have no prospects in life other than serving in dead-end jobs? Blame the ruling class. Somebody shot up a school because they have no prospects in life other than serving in dead-end jobs? Blame the ruling class.

    Why don’t we have the resources to build and repair communities? Because any excesses we have go to the ruling class, not the people who actually need it.

    It’s fucked. I genuinely hope we have mass executions for the ruling class and their children at this point if they do not willingly give over their wealth.

    It would be a small price to pay for all the damage they’ve done over generations that will take generations to fix.
