I keep trying other distros, and then coming back to Debian unstable XFCE. Linux Mint Debian Edition is ok. At work I did lots of Enterprise Redhat, but I’m glad I don’t have to use it after I retired.
I am kind, and try to do no harm. I bicycle daily, and tinker on all kinds of projects. INFP

Hard to believe Tumblr lasted this long even. They killed like 3/4 of their content (and audience) when they decided to not have any porn like 4 years ago. Everybody left. An early example of enshitification.
Musk has become erratic, irrational, and volatile. These are not conditions suitable for someone who manages other people’s money. Financial institutions know this, and will not be a part of his delusions.
NYT should simply walk away from Xwitter. NPR did so with no apparent loss of viewership.
I’m already using Linux alot, and Windows 10 sometimes. I would drop Windows entirely if it were subscription model.
ChromeOS is a totally locked down distro of Linux. I prefer Debian Linux with an XFCE desktop thank you.
“Cisco said the threat actors are compromising the devices after acquiring administrative credentials and that there’s no indication they are exploiting vulnerabilities. Cisco also said that the hacker’s ability to install malicious firmware exists only for older company products. Newer ones are equipped with secure boot capabilities that prevent them from running unauthorized firmware.”
I can’t believe that people still idolize this rapist and sex trafficker.
Xwitter is a Nazi hate cesspool. I deleted my account not long after Musk took over. I would be delighted to see it fail, and Musk brought down a few notches.
Microsoft Edge is based on the Chrome codebase, so it will get the baked in ad mechanism.
A few years ago, I switched from Firefox to Chrome. A few months ago, I switched back to Firefox. Chrome is rolling out changes which are completely unacceptable, such as making adblockers impossible, and using my private browsing history for their own ads.
Ubuntu is massively overrated. It’s a bloated distro owned by a greedy corporation.
I use Debian XFCE, and it is perfect for me.
I never intend to use a flatpak or snap, and avoid them like the plague. The whole concept is incredibly ugly to me, and wasteful of computer resources.
As others have said, most people don’t install operating systems. They just buy a system, likely a laptop and run whatever OS is on it. Hardly any laptops come with Linux preinstalled unless you look pretty hard, or are searching specifically for one.
So let’s say someone is harassing and abusing somebody on the platform. Blocking gives the victim a recourse. Let’s say someone with an extreme ideology, such as a Nazi anti-semite, consistently posts hate at a jewish person. Blocking gives the victim a recourse. Blocking is an essential feature of social media, and Musk is a complete idiot.
Far right media considers “Fact Based” to be a “Liberal Bias”.
I remember installing a very very early release of Debian back in the mid 90s on a 486. I have had a Debian system of some sort ever since then.
So this is “Austrailia Broadcasting Corporation”, not the ABC (American broadcasting Company) which I am familiar with in the US. I presume they share no more than an acronym.
I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.
