  • My first Linux was Bazzite. It was great but I didn’t like immutability so I switched to Garuda, which was also very easy.

    As you are deciding, consider the differences between the main branches, Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc., and their operating philosophy. Next look at the distro, specifically the helper apps and tools. Many distros now have “at startup” apps now that will help you with updates and installing common software. This help, or lack of it, will make a big difference to you as a beginner.


  • Eugenics isn’t just done by government. The world has been limiting the reproduction of the disabled through social pressure for ages. Look at the stigma interracial relationships used to have. Examples are everywhere.

    Why does everyone think eugenics only means the way the Nazis did it?

    It’s a broad term people. The government is the most heavy handed way to implement it but social pressure is arguably more effective and harder to end.












  • I started with Bazzite but didn’t like that it was immutable. I broke the permissions on my drive and had to reinstall trying to force it to let me change the login screen background.

    After that I switched to Garuda and have had it about a year.

    The most painful part was figuring out what Linux uses as app stores and how they work. Bazzite just released Bazaar and I haven’t tried it yet but I hear it works on other distros too. Software installation and management is the biggest hurdle to easy use and that gap is closing fast.

    The most common problem I have had is that a Windows app stops working and I try a different version of proton and the problem goes away.

    I have only ever had to use the command like when doing weird stuff. Most people won’t need to.

    Garuda also has a great helper app that lets you choose common starting software with check boxes, has buttons for updates, firmware, and other common settings, tweaks, and troubleshooting tools. It makes it pretty painless to get started.

    Garuda also comes with KDE, Gnome, or Xfce (your choice) so you can get the desktop experience you like.



  • When I lived in LA it started a week early and on the 4th itself it was a fireworks show finale amount of fireworks for 8 hours straight.

    But just turn on the radio… right.

    Maybe it’s time to realize different places are different and there may be values to other people’s perspectives even if they don’t reflect your particular worldview.
