THE YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP
No, we have to post these when it’s the year of the Linux desktop
Yeah, you’re overthinking it. Installing a single program is a “use sparingly” situation.
Yeah, exactly. If a person asks for a recommendation they don’t trust their own skills enough to make their own decision or distrohop.
I feel like a website is needed to recommend a distro to people based on a very varied set of criteria that doesn’t just ask “Do you like stability over all? Debian”
Anybody that already has had a computer for 2 years and is coming from Windows will have almost no problems with Mint. Stability is top priority for first time Linux users and you need some visual guide with screenshots. Mint also has a great default look and setup for people coming from Windows. Mint is probably the best distro to put on your mom’s old laptop that is “getting slow” because of viruses.
I’d recommend KDE Neon or Ubuntu also depending on the situation but if I don’t know anything about the person and computer I’d say Mint.
Currently all you have to do is heat up an insulated pile of sand with almost free electricity and stick a pipe in too.
Iceland, where I’m from, has had it for ages in pretty much every house.
If you’re suggesting using Nuclear as a peaker plant or to turn it off and on whenever wind/solar is not up for it then I’m sorry to say that it’s not viable. Nuclear generators don’t handle well being turned off and on.
Yeah, back in 2010 and before nuclear was the way to go but with the incredible advancements in solar and wind it’s no longer the best option.
Still shame on Germany for decommissioning nuclear reactors and deciding to build Nordstream 2 and burn coal as a replacement.
There are downsides to nuclear these days. Incredibly high cost with a massive delay before they’re functioning. Solar + wind + pumped hydro + district heating is where it’s at in 2024.
They also “Didn’t have them” in the past and then gave them to the NSA. 🙃
Do you know how decryption works?
Sure, it’s encrypted, but there might be a way for them to decrypt it.
Linux Mint is ready for mainstream.
I sent my friend “ax4uol4wj83birqti336mk92mu8” and that’s what he got
Apple is from the walled garden of Eden.
And set the bar super low for other tech companies
I think in that case they would say they accept paper.
