18 is pretty darn good


Just try it.
I did and I was pretty impressed. The way they modified the Gnome desktop with extensions is the way Gnome should’ve been in the first place. It’s actually usable.
I installed it recently in a VM to check the latest release and the instalation process is not as user friendly as Mint.
For everything else though I guess you’re right. But Mint has more quality of life stuff.
Yeah Debian is stable, but it also doesn’t come with an easy to use app store or pre-installed codecs for multimedia.
The installation process isn’t exactly user friendly either. And if you plan to use BTRFS with Timeshift for easy snapshot creation, you have to do some pretty technical stuff.
And finally, there’s stable and stable. Linux Mint being Ubuntu based is already VERY stable, but you still get fairly recent packages. With Debian you have to wait much longer for the latest software.


No. That he remains paralyzed but aware.
While I agree with you, my question implied that Debian might not be the right choice for beginners. It’s not that easy to use compared to Mint that comes with many quality of life features which makes it the perfect introduction to Linux.
All the important software is there, you have all the necessary codecs to play the most popular media files, you have an easy to use software store with a friendly interface, and you don’t have any complicated concepts like immutable or atomic OS.
I’ve been dual booting since 2000 starting with Mandrake. Then Ubuntu and stuck with it or Xubuntu or Kununtu ever since.
I had been using win 10 a lot more when I eventually installed it. It was a great OS in my opinion. Until it wasn’t because Microshits decided to make it bad. I was getting angry with that and learned last year that it would reach EOL this October. So I booted in Linux and started experiencing with Steam and Proton and Bottles and I was blown away by how easy it had become and how well the games played. So last December I wiped the disk, installed Kubuntu 24.04 and it’s been a great experience ever since. Honestly it’s insane how easy it has become. To think I had to recompile my kernel to have all the features of my hardware back in the early 2000s. LoL!
I tried to convince my GF to move to Linux but she can’t due to her job. It’s complicated.
Why Debian? Why not Mint?
That’s become increasingly difficult.


He hit their fists with his face. Clearly he’s the aggressor.


To be fair, the people in the streets have been fighting. They’ve had some wins. Pushing away ICE raids, having their elected officials fight back in legislatures, especially locally. And sometimes federal judges will go against Trump’s will when it gets too obviously fascist.
But the way things are going? You might be right. I hope you won’t though.


I dunno. Hate groups have become much more bolder and appearing in public spaces. Have their own podcasts and their own media networks (Rebel News and Ezra Levant, etc.) They’re also forming militias, training for combat and firearm use, and even infiltrating the military forces to recruit new members. Source Source 2 Bands with allegiances to these groups have also produced music with hate speech and racist lyrics, talking about bringing back gas chambers, etc. This is no joke.


I have no words honestly. Ever since the Kirk shooting, things are spiralling further down and getting to a point of no return. I think war is going to erupt soon between fascist far-right groups and everyone else. Not just in the U.S., but in Canada, too.


Is it any good? I know it’s probably not going to be up to Google Pixel’s quality or Samsung’s, but still.


So Israël attacked a civilian ship in Tunisian waters. That’s an act of war, right? Do you think the international community will do anything? I don’t expect Canada to do anything anyway, knowing how our prime minister is a zionist enabler.
I’m glad the crew is okay at least.


Is there one god damn phone out there we can buy that’s somewhat ethical and redirects or privacy?


LIGMA?
