Pro tip : you can also uninstall Windows by installing Linux over it.

I’m francophone and I didn’t get it until I read the comments. 🤦

Lighten up dude.

I was thinking more of Frank Reynolds from It’s Always Sunny.

You’re just mad because we’re the original and the best kind of Canadiens. 😘

Hahahahaha! Yeah ok I see it now.

I’m from Québec, I’m very much from the North. I know in Québec we try to make our own rules just to piss off the rest of Canada.

But, I’m just curious as to what attitude you are referring to, towards Canadians. Because they’ve tried to impose their rules on us for quite a long time.

How did you get the idea that Canada doesn’t like rules?

You can relax. If you install an Ubuntu based OS (v24.04 LTS for long term support) like Lubuntu or even Linux Mint you’ll have a pretty stable system with great hardware support and lots of online help.

And as long as you don’t mess with any files outside of your home directory and keep a regular backup of your system you’ll be just fine.

Also, there’s a lesson to be learned in our mistakes. In the future, keep a copy of files you want to delete but are not sure what they are for, before you actually delete them.

(Sounds a bit like Kamala Harris. If you pronounce it ‘carmul’.)

Especially if the topic is sex, as OP claims. Like WTF.

Oui très bien! ☺️

Ah ok I see. Thanks for the clarification.

I don’t get the Gnome desktop. The vanilla one is unusable without adding a ton of extensions. But I do appreciate the simplicity in the settings.

I love KDE in the way that it keeps the traditional desktop paradigm that we’re all used to, but their configs are way too complex. There’s too much in one place.

In fact I’ve been thinking of trying out LXQT for simplicity’s sake.

Le Québec vous dit bonjour!

Debian is great. The Ubuntus just add a few quality of life features that make it slightly better in my opinion.

So they’re actively involved in the development of open source projects then?

Mine will probably be Bottles.

The team behind that application did a fantastic job. Wine was due for something much more user friendly like this. And integration with Proton, allowing 3D acceleration is the cherry on top.

security patches for community packages (instead of waiting on community patches)

I’m not sure I understand that part. Is Canonical implementing the patches instead of the open source project/package developers? I’m confused.
