  • I think immutability is extremely important for someone who is just starting out

    It really isn’t, though

    as well as starting on KDE since it’s by far the most developed DE that isn’t gnome and their… design decisions are unfortunate for people coming from windows.

    Good thing Mint uses Cinnamon, which with the flip of one toggle on install changes between the Mac and Windows style environment. To the point my wife literally didn’t notice at first she was on Mint and not Win 10

    Not gonna bother with the rest of your comment if the start is that weak, tbh

    I just want people to know that they are welcome to change their minds, nobody is going to mock them for doing so, or say I told you so.

    JSYK: I and many others are putting great effort into letting them know that they’re not welcome, because Nazis who voted for this wanted this, no excuses at campaign #3. They can either die or live in obscurity until they do, period. The time they were allowed back was pre-24 election, simple as




  • Mint CE for my desktop (might distro hop soon for multiple curiosity based reasons, all my data is on non-os drives anyway) - easiest to just get working when fast-swapping, IMO

    Debian for my server - it’s the flavor of Linux I’m most familiar with over the years & for my server I dont need any of the shit Ubuntu does

    STEAM OS for my Steam Deck (I use it as a TV PC so desktop mode is common with it), because it’s really good for that purpose


  • You make it sound like running a campaign is so easy.

    It’s not, at all. Spotting a repeated mistake IS pretty easy, though

    you will lose the support of so much of the centrist/independent block

    Prove it. Leftist ideas are liked by the majority of the country when asked without labels, so you’re talking out your ass.

    43% of the US population identifies as independent

    A lot of those are leftists who don’t associate with the DNC. I would know, I’m a member of a group of them who all get talk about politics. I’m literally a member of the group you’re claiming wouldn’t vote for a more left candidate and I’ll tell you: the majority of us would

    Conservatives can always count on their base to vote for whoever… apparently we’ve learned that we can’t do that with progressives

    Progressives aren’t the Democratic base, but nice try shifting the blame. Democrats are right-wing and are losing votes because of it. Look at 2024 in CA and see the millions of votes lost because they went centrist

    We apparently only vote for the PERFECT candidate, or we just won’t vote at all

    Either troll or so stupid you’re not worth engaging further on, just holy shit what a stupid reduction


  • Strategically speaking, going for centrists was the right move, even if you were a progressive candidate.

    That’s why they won in 2016 and 2024, right?

    Stupid ass shit like what you just said is the kind of shit that lost to fascism twice now and look at you, still saying it! Keep going, I’m sure losing a third time will be great

    now that the left has let a fascist into power

    Liberals love blaming leftists when shit goes bad even when it’s their garbage ideas that got us here. Fuck right off
