It's "refreshing" to see conservative leaders in other countries are just as insane and inept as they are in the West.

I ran KDE for a year or so recently. The screen sharing bug, since I rely on screen sharing greatly for work, made me switch to something else. If that hadn't existed, I'd have probably stuck with it.

KDE is a great DE, but I've always found it more buggy than the rest. It also pushes the envelope, though, and really is a cutting edge DE.

GNOME might be more "stable", but I've also found you need to have at least a half dozen extensions and GNOME Tweaks to make it usable OOTB. Also, it uses as much RAM just doing nothing as a Windows install.

KDE has always been "Wow this is cool and very well designed" until I always run into a bug I can't get past and have to switch. This has been my cycle for half a decade or more:

  1. I hear about KDE's latest cool features (HDR support was the latest) and give it a try.
  2. I use it for several months.
  3. An update breaks something that is critical to my workflow and I have to switch to something else.

These days, though, I use Cinnamon. It is the definition of "just works" and other than network management GUI elements being kind of meh (especially for VLANs), I've found it to be rock solid.

Wow. Never seen someone defend porch pirates before. What a hot take.

That's literally the opposite purpose of having common munitions.

I know Pop_OS! has some excellent Optimus controls built into their distro. I haven't used NVidia in a while, though, since I went all AMD for better driver support.

I couldn't give a shit either way. Not ever going to buy a Ubisoft game again. I was interested in Star Wars Outlaws until I heard they were involved.

This. America used to give so many fewer rights to all.

Yes, there are SERIOUS problems in America that are systemic, but they are fixable. We just need to keep going.

The UN just all voted for a ceasefire.....except the US, who vetoed it.

Don't worry Nancy. Just like all of the straight men out there, trans women don't want to touch you either.

You don't have to introduce legislature protecting yourself from non-existent threats.

Fair, but I absolutely loved Ahsoka. It and The Mandalorian are my favorite shows to come out recently.

Debian and Linux Mint.

Debian for mission critical stuff like servers or things I don't want to futz with, like HTPCs, work machines, etc.

Mint for my gaming desktop because it's a bit newer on kernels and such.
