I recommend arch to a first time user…once. because he said he wanted to have Linux as a new hobby of sorts. Everyone else I recommend Pop! Or Fedora most of the time.

Fedora KDE. Just be sure to enable 3rd party repos (very easy and quick job, just a google search away).

KDE. I don’t have to change anything (other than taskbars on all monitors rather than just the main one) for an experience I like. Everything just works. Wayland support is best in class.

I don’t like gnome’s workflow and it takes COSMIC level customization for me to like it. And technical issues are common for me. Namely windows constantly spawning off screen and delayed reactions.

XFCE’s default layout is absolutely horrible and there’s no Wayland support. Mint XFCE’s implementation is good though.

Cinnamon, in my experience, is buggy and has similar technical problems to gnome.

I’ve used i3wm and it’s okay, but I would never use it on my main desktop. Takes a certain kind of workflow.

I’ve messed with AwesomeWM and can say it’s very ok.

LXDE/LXQT are obsolete. Not old school, obsolete. And in the case of QT, there’s absolutely no reason to use it when XFCE has the same ram usage anyway.

I haven’t used any other desktops other than these.

We don’t have sufficient political will to use the sun. This hopefully provides an alternative.

It’s absolutely not. Use archinstall. The hardest part is preparing for breakages when you update.

Mint is considered the new standard for “it just works”, but I had nothing but problems on my desktop with mint.

If the state can control your bike, you don’t actually own it.

I have a laptop with a very old I-5 And 4 GB. It runs mint XFCE fine, just manage your expectations.

Socialism will never happen in the United States. It is antithetical to the entire format of the country. It’ll take the US collapsing before the slightest glimmer of possibility happens. Not to mention that there is no organized group of socialists in the US.

Stop acting like Biden is just being lied to by Israel and is some helpless victim. He is absolutely responsible for his continued allowance of the genocide of Palestinians. Hold your politicians to a higher standard.

Trump will be much worse on letting the Israelis genocide Palestinians.

Why is she so bad

I actually have access to Linux 🤷‍♂️

It’s not world class but sometimes it’s exactly what you need.

Making fun of British people is the morally correct thing to do at all times.

Well, it’s the standard now. I don’t like it either because of their gratuitous data storage, but what other choice do I have? All my friends and communities use it.

Yeah but it was precalculated

That’s a convenient excuse to be an asshole to half the population while running interference for the other.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander
