thats the joke

this. im so sick of everyone just telling new people to get mint. cinnamon isnt the best choice for every new person. i hate that its just told to every new person, point blank.

imo the rumor that mint is the easiest is harmful to the whole ecosystem. it implies there arent countless other easy distros and stifles accurate choices for many new people.

classic linux poltergeist

its this

no, i think not. pretty sure theres even a possible left or libertarian slant, but not right wing. they are the fray and they shouldnt bring shame on us all.

better to edge on it than release at 3k

fuck yeah its our time to shine, lets gooooo!

quite refreshing to get some support on this opinion. cheers

ty kindly :)

hell yeah

true

yeah no hate for debian here

this touches on my point exactly. i find that due to the “over recommendation” of mint/cinnamon, that many new people will inevitably “waste time” with cinnamon. this is a feeling i have that frustrates me, is all. KDE is exactly as easy to get started with as is cinnamon.

anyway cheers :)

hey right on, appreciate the thoughtful reply. i cant say i share the same experience, but now i understand where youre coming from.

side note, im new(ish) to lemmy and im really appreciating the quality of the takes im seeing on here. refreshing feeling, so cheers to adding to that.

maybe youve always been using 2 year or older hardware *shrug

wdym by ergonomic in this context, may i ask?

yeah i dont hate gnome users or even if i have to use gnome, but i do hate the conceptual approach to functionality they take, as you mention.

also …

Debian - for when you want to wait two years

ok true
