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.

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.

Great article. Well worth reading.

I saw today that they have found that over 80% of the microplastics in the ocean are from automobile tires.

ChromeOS is a totally locked down distro of Linux. I prefer Debian Linux with an XFCE desktop thank you.

Sure. Seems like a fine way to prepare beans.

Chrome, and it’s relatives like Edge, are no longer an option, so I use Firefox.

That’s why I’m here. All the corporate owned social media are blatantly far-right fascists. Everywhere else is just thick with Nazis and racists.

I do prefer to use a headphone jack when my phone is the source of music for my amplified sound system and large room speakers.

Fascists always use “protecting children” as the rationale for implementing mechanisms of social control. Their willingness to allow school shootings shows that they really don’t care about protecting children at all.

Ubuntu is massively overrated. It’s a bloated distro owned by a greedy corporation.

That’s alot of effort to go from one horrible programming language to another horrible programming language.

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.

I think it has nothing to do with children. It is about requiring ID registration for online services so that identities can be tracked. Every time authoritarians want to push another mechanism of control it’s always “about the children”.
