They’re trolling and have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about. I’ve literally not had a bootloader failure in a decade from multiple Linux OS installs.

The only time I had an issue was when I was playing with a bleeding edge distro and it borked full disk encryption, but that was INTENTIONALLY bleeding edge and I knew the risks.

Exactly. Democrats are better than Republicans by a long shot, but they’re paralyzed by rich oligarch capture.

Yes, Biden accomplished a lot…that was then subsequently undone by Trump.

Should Biden get credit for it still? Sure. He tried and it was a calm 4 years we had with him, minus inflation.

Did it make a fly’s fart worth of difference? No, because much of that action was done through executive actions.

Biden did very little to support actual, systemic change to our voting systems, protections against executive power abuse, etc. He spent 4 years working hard to have his work mostly undone in a month.

We don’t need incremental growth anymore. We’ve ignored systemic problems so long now that drastic change is needed. Systemic problems in education, voter rights protections, LGBTQ+ protections, higher education (he did try to kinda address this), racism, etc. Many of these things Biden didn’t do anything to change that were long lasting, legislative changes.

These problems aren’t just on Biden, though. They require the whole party to move as one progressive unit and not capitulate to this “both sides” and “moderate” bullshit. The Republican party is regressive and obstructionist and in order to combat it, we must take bold moves to show how green the grass is on the other side. Not “nothing will fundamentally change”.

And tens of millions of Democrats didn’t vote.

Even when Democrats are in power, they still don’t do anything hardly at all. I have voted Democrat for a long time now, but what we really need to do is get rid of First Past the Post voting in America, as it would really light a fire under them to be effective or be replaced.

Debian and Mint user…yup I’m old.

Now there are 15 competing standards.

Glory to you…and your distro.

I don’t get why anybody uses Ubuntu. Just use Debian. It’s basically more stable and functional Ubuntu, but without snaps and you don’t need an entire distro branch for different DEs.

Hubspot is the worst.

Yeah I tried Tumbleweed, but I really don’t like RPM-based distros. Mostly because I’ve been a Debian-based boi most of my life.

I question your life choices.

No idea. It could no longer unlock the LUKS encryption after rebooting from an upgrade. I had to work and just nuked it and started fresh. It happened on both my laptop and desktop after updating, so seems like a bad update.

I switched from Pop_OS! to KDE Neon because I wanted to try out the latest Plasma features. I was tired of GNOME’s bloat and needing an extension/Tweaks for basic functionality.

Then KDE broke screen sharing, bricked my install once by breaking LUKS disk encryption, and then it booted to a black screen on updating to the latest LTS…

So now I’m on Mint and all of my servers are on Debian because I want something that just works. Lol. No more distro hopping.

What do you mean “improved”? Ubuntu is based on Debian.

I took the joke as Manjaro is a poor impersonation of a pure Arch install, so it’s half-assed like the users. It’s a meme, though, so don’t take it too seriously.

Also, if you use Manjaro, it’s just a joke and you’re still awesome for being a Linux user.

By this logic, Windows is like being kicked in the nuts by a Microsoft executive while they keep screaming “This is all because you didn’t adopt Windows Phone”.

Running macOS is like sticking your dick in the toaster and saying “it only costs me $69.99 each time I do it. It’s such a deal I’d be a fool not to”.

Sounds like the sysadmin who is running the DNS server’s problem 😉

The true Linux users are the ones that realize that all Linux is the same. The only differences is package management, Desktop Environment, and customization by the Distro creator.

You can literally just install Debian stable with Cinnamon DE and get basically Linux Mint on Debian. Bonus points for adding backports so you get a slightly more updated kernel.

I know this is a joke, but you should use whatever distro you want to use…because at the end of the day it’s all Linux.
