How i see this “box”:

This is the way

Two solid years of steady gaming on various Linux distributions.

And in some cases, even better experience than on Windows (f.e. older games compatibility or higher FPS alongside smoother gameplay)

Tbh, about a year ago i checked the price difference between various laptops with Windows preinstalled and without any OS. The difference wasn’t actually a flat amount of money, it was like +10% (price of the laptop 500$ — ~ +50$ for Windows | price of the other laptop 1000$ — ~ 100$ for Windows).

So because of the actual state of gaming on Linux (and overall experience) i wouldn’t pay that 10% to play games with rootkits built-in, but rather spend it on other things

Gonna delete that boot sector then

No boot sector? No boot sector corruption

I fucking hate you, take the upvote

For an average user i would recommend Firefox

For someone tech-savy and privacy focused - LibreWolf

Why? Some websites will not work properly on LibreWolf because of how hardened it is (not extremely, but just enough to break some things on websites). I don’t mean it’s bad, it’s just not for everyone atm since many people want things to just work™

Let me (lemme?) translate this into customer-friendly business language:

Enhanced user experience

You just reminded me of one particular calculator app which put “+” button behind a paywall

MacBook user:

omfg, my MacBook got that big scratch. Gonna buy a new one then

ThinkPad user:

draws ThinkPad logo on the back using scratches

Love it

Essentially average MacBook fan vs average ThinkPad enjoyer

There is one impostor among us

Tbh i would slap this insect in my home with my fly swatter only if it wouldn’t set my house on fire every time i approach it

Sounds like !antimeme@lemmy.world

P.S.: I like antimemes

I prefer “the fuck” https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

Nice

I’m on Voyager Android app and i also don’t see any comments from the first link - opened with app

Second link, opened with web browser, shows comments correctly

I also don’t know what causes thia

Yup, until you want to advert Windows itself

For some people, just using Windows is gore

If your friend is not tech savvy person, i would go with Mint XFCE (maybe Zorin OS Lite). Surely, it will be not as lightweight as Debian, but it will be much more user friendly for him

If he actually feel comfortable tinkering with OS - along side Debian maybe Bodhi Linux or antiX? I tried both of them on one of (in)famous Intel-based netbooks with 512mb RAM and they worked quite well.
