I hadn’t really thought about the fact that Ubuntu (and many others, apparently) don’t have hibernation. I switched to Debian about a year ago, and I wasn’t sure what the Hibernate button did when I saw it for the first time. But after I searched to find out, I started using it all the time.

I’ve always thought of Mint as a newbie-friendly distro because there is a convenient UI for everything that you want to do, but that doesn’t mean it’s somehow limited for more advanced users.

It’s friendly to new users but does not block things that more advanced users would want. I don’t think there’s any reason to stop using it as you become an advanced user.

The only reason to switch would be if some other distro has a specific selling point that you want to try. I’ve tried a few of them and always just end up going back to what I’m familiar with.

Nice. FreshRSS is the only PHP application I have running. I decided to just take it down this morning.

That’s definitely my biggest complaint after switching to KDE earlier this year. Overall, I love it. I’d recommend it for new users because it’s easy to understand. But their design philosophy is all over the place when it comes to settings. There’s a mixture of hamburger icons, cog icons, and Settings menus in the toolbar. Plus the confusion of mixing settings related to the desktop environment right next to the application settings.

It’s not great with core apps, and then the community doesn’t have clear guidelines to go off of when making their own apps.

I swear I saw a comment around here that said “the average user does not want bloatware like systemd on their computer” and I just kind of wonder if we are all living on the same planet sometimes.

Nah, it’s the first vehicle designed for looksmaxxers: all of the mirrors are on the inside, pointing directly at the driver. AI checks your surroundings for you.

There is NO legitimate reason to endure the fresh graduate.

So many incredibly entitled people have never felt the obligation to give to others that which was given to them. These people should be shunned by civil society.

These are great, thanks for posting! I wish there were still pulp magazines like this that were introducing new characters.

This looks so cool. I hope at some point there is a movie or TV show that uses all of the 1960s/70s costume designs.

I would hope that even an AI proponent can see how absurd it sounds to say, “Can you imagine going back to the way literally everything worked, like, 30 months ago?”
