Linux Mint (I'd recomment Debian edition, LMDE) is basically what you want to try out. I've set up a PC with it for my stepfather that hasn't used Linux at all and he's happy with it. It's designed to be as newbie-friendly as possible. You won't have more issues with it than you'll already have using Windows.

Then if you feel unsatisfied with anything about it, you can go looking for other linux distributions (distros) because you have a general idea what's happening.

Planning on moving over from Windows 10 to Linux for my Personal Work Station. Can't decide which OS I should switch to.

Windows has been a thorn in my side for years. But ever since I started moved to Linux on my Laptop and swapping my professional software to a cross platform alternative, I’ve been dreaming on removing it from my SSD....

Rayspekt ,

Maybe look into Garuda as an additional alternative to EndeavousOS and Manjaro. I'm using it on a gaming rog and haven't had any significant issues regarding stability.

Rayspekt ,

It would work thousands of years off of one drop of League of Legends solo queue.

I hope the internet is prepared for when VPNs will be targeted. A LOT of free access to the internet nowadays hinges on the use of VPNs and I have been dreading the day when corpos and politicians finally catch up to that fact for some years now. Remember when credit card companies removed themselves from Pornhub as a payment method after just one article from about exploiative material on the platform?

Just think about the consequences when you will only be able to subscribe to VPNs through bitcoin. I know, subscribing with your credit card isn't the smartest move in regards to privacy, but it works for a lot of stuff that isn't that dramatic (e. g. circumventing geoblocking).

I don't think we're that far away from the endgame for the free internet. Enshittification is just the first step. When that eventually doesn't work out, they will come for VPNs and stuff like the fediverse.

The one rogue nuke hitting New Zealand would be a heavy hit to Peter Thiel and his buddies' apocalypse plans as they continue to buy up the whole country.

Yeah Imma part with my Bionicles and Beyblades for the safety ranch.

What I don't get is the sissy sub fascists nowadays. The dumb fucks generally want to wage war with everybody and now that there are legitimate threats to their precious Vaterlands they are pacifists all of a sudden. I get it, they a funded largely by russia and china etc, but do they really think they won't get shafted when the west collapses? Absolute omega farts.

Tactical dot, because I want to know, too.

Whoosh, that was not a serious suggestion. More on the noncredible side, as a fact.

I receiced one of those special offer emails to buy stocks on Monday. Weren't those supposed to go only to power users? I haven't done anything with my account since the API debacle and wasn't a power user before.

I feel like their rug pull before the ipo doesn't work that good. I hope the gme bros will short reddit to the ground, that would be the best end to Reddit I can imagine. Fuck spez.

Rayspekt ,

but I torched all of my comments and posts with Redacted 7 months ago

I did exactly the same thing lmao

Rayspekt , (edited )

I redacted every message into something shit-talking reddit and got the email, so that can't be it.

Small FYI: Those are named "Chaebol" in South Korea, if anyone want's to look further into this.

Could be that the grind at work doesn't leave any space for having a familiy.

Out of all features a security robot may possess, why is the weight the thing that gets to be in the headline? Why not its colour or maybe taste?

"That security robot is serious business, it's got to be at least 30 stone heavy!" says Bob the Burglar who doesn't even use metric units.

That'll show em!

That moment when Google's AI starts acting like a smelly powermod and removes websites because of low-effort content.

Basically it seems that google is losing the arms race against SEO[...]

What does this mean in particular?

Ahhh, that's the goal behind those overly long explanations about how Jimbo Jimboson invented the spoon when I just want to look up soup recipies.

Garuda is very nice. Only thing I have atm is that there are some issues with updating the system where it doesn't connect to the garuda repo servers or whatever. I'm not proficient enough to know if it's their stuff that breaks or the base arch, so I wonder if doing the tedious thing and installing a base arch system myself would be better to understand everything. It's my first linux system for reference.

Rayspekt ,

So there's no more or less stable distro based on arch?

Rayspekt ,

What's the thing with the acorn memes, may someone fill me in?

Rayspekt ,

That's horrible, how can a vet with PTSD get a job where he is allowed to carry a gun? That's the worst idea. Might as well let him patrol a loud and hectic arcade.

Thank you for the elaboartion though, banger meme nonetheless.

If I should ever find myself with tickets for them I'll remember you, Macaroni Ninja.

Are you able to cite a source on that claim?

It hit itself in confusion!

When you can't decide what to do and skill in Oblivion so you just do random shit.

Yeah I did as well and not too long after the tutorial I got into a weird vampire cult. Had no idea what I was doing but it was hilarious.

New to Linux? Ubuntu Isn’t Your Only Option (www.howtogeek.com)

Ubuntu’s popularity often makes it the default choice for new Linux users. But there are tons of other Linux operating systems that deserve your attention. As such, I’ve highlighted some Ubuntu alternatives so you can choose based on your needs and requirements—because conformity is boring.

Rayspekt ,

Only last year I've switched from Windows to Linux and I choose Garuda because I wanted to learn Arch from the beginning. Boy am I happy how well it worked out of the box. The most annoying issue was to get the xbox gamepad dongle to work but aside from the it's so good.

Rayspekt ,

That would be the funniest end to Reddit. Going bankrupt because the superstonks people short their stock.

Heyhey people

Raspberry Pi is planning a London IPO, but its CEO expects “no change” in focus (arstechnica.com)

The business arm of Raspberry Pi is preparing to make an initial public offering (IPO) in London. CEO Eben Upton tells Ars that should the IPO happen, it will let Raspberry Pi’s not-for-profit side expand by “at least a factor of 2X.” And while it’s “an understandable thing” that Raspberry Pi enthusiasts could be...

Rayspekt ,

How can the not-for-profit side of business expand with an IPO? People invest specifically to increase their wealth. How's this going to happen with a non-profit business?

Surely those shareholders just fucking love Raspberry Pi so damn much that they just have over their cash no questions asked.

Imma hijack this comment because it fits perfectly: It fucking grinds my gears that they stopped producing Wrigley's Chewing Gum. You know, the classic stripes in Spearmint, Peppermint, and Big Red. That shit was perfect. Those small sugar-coated pills auck ass.

Down bad on the eBussy

The day is saved, we found a totally not memable name for our vehicle.

Some of these names must be handed to the higher-ups with pure malicious intent, I love it

Now don't leave us hanging, won't you?

Do you have any non-Play AOSP suggestions that run on less popular devices? Everytime I hear about a newandroid distro it'sostly for Nexus phones and a few other popular phones. I have e. g. a Wiko Power U30 thats okay (and mostly cheap) that I would love to use with something better.

would it be possible to live in the modern world only using a laptop?? no cellphone anything

there are a lot of options for keeping people connected that dont require a phone like matrix, xmpp and a much bigger etc. so if someone wanted to ditch their phone and only use their linux laptop, would that be possible?? thank you!!

Rayspekt ,

We only ever think, but maybe we should stop to thank from time to time. That's where our ne ThankPad Edge comes in.

Rayspekt ,

I wonder if those billionaires that agree do so because they feel that the time are changing and people are done with getting ripped off.

So I finally did the math on data brokerage and worked out how much we're all being robbed

I know this isn’t strictly piracy related, I apologise, but I think it is tangentally related in that piracy protects you from data theft by avoiding the services the biggest thieves operate. Also, I feel like people here might be very interested in this take....

Rayspekt ,

Kudos, very nice write-up!

IIIIIIII'VE GOT A BIG BAG OF CRABS HERE

I didn't stop reasoning. You did, as you have no answer to my ad absurdum argument lol.
