Bring back Linux Mint KDE

“Just pretend it’s always been Linux” is a bold move. I salute 12-year-old you o7

Yeah, I unfortunately didn’t know about the “Nvidia hates Linux” thing when I bought this laptop. I guess I know better for next time.

Garuda might be worth a try. I used it for a couple months and really enjoyed it, I only stopped because Nvidia drivers kept breaking.

My least favorite is Linux Lite. It’s supposed to be a lighter, simpler version of Ubuntu but I don’t think it accomplishes this at all. It’s very slow for something that’s supposed to be lightweight, and still includes Snaps, which are also very much not lightweight. Plus its software center is just bad, which is not great for something that’s marketed at Linux noobs. Linux Mint XFCE or SpiralLinux are better options for a Linux noob who needs a lighter distro, IMO.

An improvement I’d suggest: obviously, ditch Snaps. Another would be to take a look at what Bodhi Linux does and have the “software center” run in the browser. I don’t know how good this is security-wise, but it definitely speeds things up from the UX side of things.

I’m currently using Linux Mint as well. I tried Garuda out and I did really like it, but the rolling release kept breaking NVIDIA.

I used Ubuntu back in the day but it sucks now. Snaps are the devil’s work.

I hate GNOME so much. To each their own but I don’t want my computer to look like an iPhone.

Oh they’re not as dumb as the rest of us, that’s the scary thing. They’re even dumber.

One of my cats just got diagnosed with kidney disease. We caught it fairly early, but she’s 15 years old and it feels like this might be the beginning of the end. Even 15 years feels too short. As Tamsyn Muir wrote, “Life is too short, and love is too long.”

Nope, just a weird bump in my chest that turned out to be scar tissue :)

Doing OK. Found out last week that I don’t have cancer, so that’s always a plus.

Been a weird one, ngl

Where in KY are you? If you’re near Louisville, look up Alley Cat Advocates or The Shamrock Pet Foundation, they may be able to help.

But what of ol’ Spaghetti Hands Mike?

Well here’s the thing: you’re an adult and as long as you’re not hurting anyone else, you can do whatever you want, forever.

I see you are also a Mumbo Jumbo enjoyer. A person of culture.

Yeah, I made a post about it a couple days ago
