ubuntu is a misnomer

Thousands of horses would not end up at slaughter every year if they were not bred to be exploited.

I’m not angry, but I’m not going to make excuses for the people doing the damage.

People who choose to look the other way while their money is used to fund obviously bad things, do not deserve good things. Ignorance in such matters is a really hard sell these days.

Consumer and voter apathy are frequently ignored these days, it is a significant, and very deliberate issue with social media… ‘oh those billionaires and politicians are so horrible’ (chant the people funding and voting for them).

Far too few Australians choose to use ethical superannuation, just as far too few Australians choose not to use the big 4 dirty banks.

That shouldn’t be possible, but since the majority of Australians have their superannuation invested with funds that directly fund fossil fuel, weapons, tobacco, gambling etc, I find it difficult to care that they are being ripped off.

I’m not talking about starscream

ai is owned and marketed by completely evil people.

Biggest story of the century apparently, there seems to be a lot of agendas flying around.

When I first looked into linux, I found heaps of recommendations for ubuntu, mint, zorin, pop, and fedora, but none of them seemed right (for various reasons), so I distrohopped until I found something that made sense. It’s easy enough if you use ventoy, and if you have a spare drive, or even enough space on a drive to make some 50GB (ish) ext4 partitions. Even easier if using 2.5" sdd’s since you can very easily disconnect your windows drive to avoid potential weirdness.

I don’t use da vinci resolve, it doesn’t sound linux friendly, aside from on rocky os (which I know nothing about)

The usual option is to look for alternatives to da vinci, such as kdenlive. Alternatives are not always of interest, or considered viable for some users of course.

I distrohopped to end up with it a few years ago, and distrohopped again this year, it’s still the only one that ticks the boxes for me. Never had any issues with it, on 3 systems.

amd zen 6 was mentioned, this is the 1st time I have seen it mentioned for a while, so I did a web search and straight away… ai bollocks, which is also the 1st thing you see when you go to their website.

the pc I am writing this on is all amd, and given the choice out of amd, intel, or nvidia, the choice would still be amd, but I would rather a decent choice existed, one from a different country would be a good start.

“She continued that Munich had switched away from Linux because a new government got Microsoft to agree to make Munich the headquarters for Microsoft Germany.”

just human things…

manjaro, unless you can’t handle the plethora of meme type people telling you it is terrible, and downvoting you as if they have a point. It is the logical entry point if you want an arch base. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=manjaro

garuda is also decent, some of their versions are over the top shiny, but mokka, and kde lite are much easier on the eye. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=garuda

bluestar might also interest you, I have it installed, but haven’t looked into it much yet. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=bluestar

Even when I was back on windows, my data was always stored on a separate physical drive, I do the same now on linux, and will never understand why anyone would choose to store the 2 on the same drive (unless they only have 1 drive).

I didn’t use ‘my documents’ and I don’t use ‘home’ either. No doubt there are some benefits to doing so though.

Agreed, distro hopping is the best way to find what you like, and learn along the way, but if a distro isn’t easy to install, it isn’t for newbies, or for me a few years in.
