99% of phone calls is typically a capitalistic company forcing employees using chatbots to sell us something.

employees are so 2010, FIFY

The irony

Yeah but doesn’t hubzilla (https://hubzilla.org/page/info/discover) applies a privacy layer to how its content it is distributed? The issue then lies also in how the social network gets implemented in function of its purpose, in hubzilla vs lemmy case for instance is a public board vs a social network

Oh crap! If this is true then avoid spending a ton of money in insulin supplies each year could give an actual reason to politicians for reducing the healthcare state budget, which they normally do at every occasion just without a proper explanation… I don’t know if my mind is ready for rationality in politics /s

Surely he is indeed a tragic mistake

Yeah nope, Jolla still has some closed source parts, then I’d rather monthly fund a project truly open source, like Mobian or Droidian, and maybe with wider target devices horizons than Sony Experia devices only.

Then it will be something else.

Mind I’m not defending the free-guns-for-all policy so dear to a sadly large part of americans, I’m just saying that the tool is not the real issue, that one would be the finality of the action and the fecklessness, the morbidly carelessness and yet horrible thoroughness, attached to the though of ending or seriously harming another person. That one is a cultural problem, and very deep.

Sure guns were instrumental to spread and nourishing such culture, but if it wasn’t the gun then the will to kill would have been manifested through the next available tool.

But without the gun, no one would be killed by the gun.

… those ones not killed by the gun would be killed by the next lethal device in place of it, it is the will which drives the action, not the device

Blah blah blah, go actuallt do it, I’m gonna enjoy the show, genocidal human stain…

Also was this nonCredibleDefense or what, for real?

For a beginner, Linux Mint is perfect

Mint for Mint then maybe the Debian Edition (LMDE) instead the the common one based on Ubuntu, which again is Debian just LTS. Also, if OP is tired of Microsoft enshittification imagine him finding out Ubuntu’s company Canonical decided that apt command should sometimes install snap packages instead of deb binaries, because “reasons” (NVM lucky us at Mint there are sane people). Or that it tried to put ads in their OS even before Windows even tried.

define “most popular” please

for instance https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity, does that metric fit your definition?

Anyway whatever the answer it doesn’t really matters, at the end of the day it is always Linux anyway, regardless of package manager, desktop environment or init.

I’d just warn you against Ubuntu, because its company Canonical is behaving a lot like a young Microsoft these days.

And let me tell you, we’re at a point where its multiple times more straight forward to just install something like Fedora KDE, and do almost anything windows can, than trying to deal with whatever the hell microsoft is up to these days.

Yep that was my turning point.

Only I have to disagree with Fedora as first Linux, it requires manual fiddling with repositories just to install codecs that any average unskilled user would expect to work out of the box

Yep, and here in Fascistelli-d’Italia-land we’ve won the competition for the “most smartest” one I’m afraid:

about time eh?

Torvalds believes parsers unable to handle tabs shouldn’t be parsing kernel Kconfig files, aiming to force fixes.

Stern but just

Discord is trash anyway, move onto Matrix already

I tried a few, Fedora, LMDE(Linux Mint Debian Edition), and EndeavourOS.

I’d say LMDE if you want a rock solid system, being fundamentally Debian Stable with Mint treatment for user friendliness, or Endeavour if you want bleeding edge updates (and of course bragging rights to join the meme by saying “BTW I use arch”)

Got to say they convinced me at last and I finally upgraded.
…to linux
