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.

I love KDE plasma, but I find that it has way too many customizations. I like Gnome’s approach of simplicity and integrating everything well. I just don’t like their default desktop paradigm. They tried to do something different and too simple and it pushed a lot of people away or required heavy customizations line Zorin did. Zorin desktop is what Gnome should’ve been.

It’s great, but it’s too complicated for people who are not as technologically literate as us.

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.

Because they’re the “FA” part in ANTIFA

salty liquorice

Tell me the researchers are Finnish without telling me they are Finnish.

I hope they’ll package is as a flatpak or something soon.

LMAO!!!

Remember webrings?

What the fuck is vibe coding?

That’s still not definite proof. Having the same opinion as your parents in high school can change within 5 years, especially after entering college, getting smarter and making up your own mind about politics.

I’m going to wait and see. As time goes by, we’ll get more information and we’ll have a clearer picture.
