  • I totally get that and I used to do the same. Maybe this community is different but on some online communities people kind of looked down on mint and pretended it was only a beginner distro.

  • I tried so many distros in the last decade, but I recently had to start with a fresh setup again and I went with Linux Mint. I think it's the most underestimated workhorse you can get. Everything just works, tons of help online if you need it and instead of tweaking it forever you just get work done.

  • Yes for anyone interested

    https://simulation-argument.com/simulation.html

    This paper argues that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation. It follows that the belief that there is a significant chance that we will one day become posthumans who run ancestor-simulations is false, unless we are currently living in a simulation. A number of other consequences of this result are also discussed.

  • Do we really want to be bigger anyway? I kind of like where Linux as a desktop isn't really big enough for all the scammers and malware makers to care.

    (And I know it's huge for servers and malware also targets that, but they are usually maintained by professionals, not your parents that would probably run every shell script they are offered as help)

    If Linux would become the biggest desktop os you are going to find so much more bad advice whenever searching for help online. I wonder if the nice people we have now are really ready for when the terrible people invade the community.

  • I've seen those piped links all the time but I'm still not really sure what the advantage is, or what problem it's solving.

    Would you mind explaining a bit about why you made piped, and why I should probably use it?

  • To be fair I've got a wallet from AliExpress that still works fine after 5 years. Unfortunately quality and price are not the same thing. Sometimes expensive stuff is made as cheaply as possible. As a consumer it's not always that easy to know when you are fooled.

    Also it's not really true anymore that a good brand is still good. Lots of good brands decided to produce inferior products for higher profits. I think it's probably because a brand is bought by some investment firm that wants to maximize profits.

  • I also thought it was about Israël and Palestine. You are absolutely right, also the 3 noes didn't help. For anyone that doesn't know

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khartoum_Resolution

    At some point the Arabic countries said

    No peace with Israel, No negotiation with Israel, No recognition of Israel

    This really didn't help at all and basically made the conflict much worse to resolve.

  • I specifically bought a Brother printer because they at least try to support Linux. My previous one Samsung was much worse, it had Google cloud print so I could still use it. But Google like always killed something people liked.

  • Yeah supporting any side in this conflict or acting like one side is good and the other is bad is just too simplistic.

    Giving any side more weapons, isn't going to bring a long term peaceful solution.

    The only way out is with negotiations, not with more violence. Both parties need to make concessions.

  • I don't really think a country, where half of the population support a terrorist group, that recently performed one of the worst attacks on innocent people the world has seen in a long time, really has the right to claim any moral high ground.
