No that’s not what I was implying, but I see how it can be interpreted that way.

What I meant was that more people will mean more assholes in general.

EDIT: I misread your comment. That’s actually what I meant lol. A weaker Yen means more people and therefore proportionally more shitty behavior.

That’s what I meant. I guess my comment can be misinterpreted.

Of course! Probably more, even.

What I’m saying is, the more people you have, the more assholes you get. it’s proportional.

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.

I’m currently in Japan and visited Kyoto and the bamboo grove a few days ago. Tourists here are such shitheads. Because the Japanese yen is so low, traveling to Japan suddenly became very accessible and brought in all kinds of shitheads that have no idea what courtesy or basic human decency is.

People would still do it because people.

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.

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.

Ah I see your point. That makes sense then.

Oh because the Sombrero didn’t make it obvious enough?

That joke is not funny. Making fun of people getting kidnapped by a fascist government organisation is not funny.

Wow. Even cops now are turning against ICE.

That’s a bit offensive, no?

Remember webrings?

Man, I haven’t used IRC since the early 2000’s. It must have been 20 years now. I’m trying to connect using Konversation, the KDE IRC client. I can’t seem to connect to the irc server.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a fucking joke!

Gives me hope that the Ukrainian people are starting to see through the empire’s lies

What on earth are you talking about???

I’d like to use a Linux phone, but it has to run Android apps though. They Gotta find a way, else it’s never gonna happen.
