  • Yeah back then I was in elementary school. I chased single percent performance gains from bleeding edge because I couldn’t just buy better hardware. If you wanted the latest versions of anything ubuntu couldn’t do it without iffy unofficial repos and dependency hell. I did it anyway and it sucked.

    Wait wait… if you had an old ass computer, why did you need the bleeding edge stuff? That doesn’t make sense.

    Also, I’m still skeptical about immutable distros. I like being in control of my PC. And I’m too old school I guess.



  • I have had ONLY NVidia cards since my first ever own PC in 2000 when I started college.

    I’ve used Mandrake Linux for a while then switched to Ubuntu when it came out in 2004 and have used that ever since.

    I’ve NEVER encountered any problems whatsoever. In fact, it made using an NVidia card easier because of its built-in third party driver installation tool that takes care of everything.

    If something doesn’t work, it’s very probable that it’s because the user messed around with something and caused it to happen.


  • Just use Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Mint if you want a hassle free, secure, and stable Linux distro that supports everything and works out of the box.

    Don’t use those gaming centric distros like Bazzite. It’s not worth it. Don’t use Arch or other bleeding edge distros unless you want to keep troubleshooting your system because of problems or vulnerabilities.

    Take it from me. I’ve been using Linux since 2001 and Ubuntu based distros have always been the best choice for a secure stable OS.



  • hahahahahaha!

    That comment is going to be wildly unpopular.

    For starters, ONE billionaire is too many. A billion is a ridiculous amount of money. Saying France has “only” 40 is so incredibly disconnected.

    Nobody should be able to amass this level of wealth. And those who do, do it through sheer human exploitation and lack of ethics.

    The fact that they get to have such incredible wealth while the rest of us are struggling to make ends meet, and governments need to cut social services due to lack of funding is criminal.

    All the money is pooling into these peoples’ hands and you’re not asking yourself why? You don’t think that taxing that amount of wealth even a little might help anything?

    I’d really like to hear why.
