Update 1: Thanks for all the responses! I’ve gotten a lot of very good comments saying I should stick with Mint, and that’s sitting comfortably in my top two picks right now. Between new distros, I’m most interested in Arch’s rolling release model, as it provides some benefits for me for reasons I didn’t really get...
Hi! I’m getting a new laptop any day now and I plan on going back to Linux after maybe a decade on Windows. What works best for gaming nowadays? Is manjaro good for that? I prefer a distro with a nice name but of course that’s not the central thing. I’ll also do some book keeping, writing et cetera but I don’t think...
Ive used Nobara before and was pretty happy with that. Like bazzite it is made for gaming and mostly just works out of the box. I haven’t used bazzite though, so I can’t say which was better in my experience. But VR was still a hassle to set up for me
I think I saw your original post and have to admit that I was a bit confused about the title, but the first thing that came to mind was that you’re talking about ricing, so I get why the mod felt like it was meant to mean ricing
I have not been a part of the Linux community for very long but I’ve heard it a few times already, and since people usually don’t just pick random words as a post title, our brains start to look for any kind of connection a poster might have meant. Maybe an ootion for you would be to use very generic titles? Like “meme” or “image” maybe. I think this was mostly a really unfortunate coincidence, but I get that you’d rather just have a less political feed anyways.
I don’t see how that could happen. You can always choose another distro, or make your own if absolutely necessary. But I understand why you’re concerned.
Title. Turning off the fancy effects (which can be done with Alt+Shift+F12) improves performance slightly, but having to toggle them on and off every time I start a game is… Y’know. A thing....
I’m doing my best to thank him for being so cooperative at the vet (besides constantly licking his wound, but it’s been a few days now so I took the cone off. So far he seems to behave and not lick it excessively anymore)
Body positivity is such a strange concept to me. There’s efforts to reclaim words while simultaneously calling them bad if used as an insult. Ideally, people wouldn’t be offended by someone describing their body with common descriptors, but socially there is so much value attributed to certain body types that it’s almost...
There have been many times I’ve been glad that I wasn’t taller. It’s kinda funny watching taller folks hitting their heads on things and complaining about cars being too small.
6’3" guy here. Every time someone says “wow you’re tall” I say that it’s not that great. 6’ is plenty to reach high shelves and stuff like that I think, but I struggle with leg room in public transport. I think that’s more annoying than needing a ladder once in a while. Also I often feel my hair touching the roof in smaller cars.
New Linux user, here is my use case. Distro recommendations?

A certain overly sensitive instance deleted my meme so I've blocked it completely. Will it also block their community from interacting with me on other instances?

I think he wanted to thank me for petting him but did not realize he's licking the cone (i.imgur.com)
He’s such an idiot sometimes. I love him

What do you think of the term "short king" as a term that's supposed to champion body positivity for men?
