This is such a boomer meme

Being able to see bug reports is not required to use the software. You've made the decision to block Cloudflare, so now you face the consequences of not being able to access certain websites. Expecting free software developers to ensure that every single part of the experience is seamless for users who decide to block certain services is not reasonable.

No way y'all didn't stretch out his face

I installed Edge on Linux because it's fun watching Linux people get angry about it

This sucks, but on the flip side, before Flatpak and others, if the software wasn't in the repo then we're SOL and can't install it. Asking all developers everywhere to maintain a version of their software for every single package manager and ensure support for every distro is a bit unattainable. If Linux settled on one package manager or one distro then this would be solved, but such a statement is antithetical to the abundance of choice that Linux boasts.

Would you rather not be able to update an app or not be able to install an app?

What do you mean integrate? The framework doesn't have any ports on it by default, that's kinda the point. I don't want an SD card reader, only a micro SD card reader, why should I pay for one?

Highly Suspect were so good in their first two albums, but fellow New Hampshire boy Johnny Stevens decided he wanted to be a rapper, and then the band started to suck

This is also the distro I tell others to use, it's what I started on and I enjoy Linux now.

Linux Mint with XFCE is what I'd go with

I've had a much easier time on Ubuntu with NVIDIA cards than with other distros. Also, I'm not sure how this is helpful advice to a new user at all.

I'm interested by the fact that we have very different experiences with Linux. I switched from Windows to Kubuntu when I was starting out and I found it pretty easy to learn, aside from a few new concepts that were just different. Aside from programs that just didn't work because they didn't have Linux versions, I had vastly less problems running Linux than Windows on my PC.

 

I'm curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.

 

This website is pretty cool. It's a shader algorithm with the goal of rendering an image pixel by pixel, but it relies entirely on human calculation, with no computers and no calculators. Claim a pixel, and follow the instructions to calculate the Red Green and Blue values of the pixel you have claimed.

All of the pixels have currently been claimed, but they do expire after a while, so just wait around a bit and you might be able to contribute!
