I’ve recently discovered Zorin OS and it’s a pretty awesome alternative to Mint IMO.

Oh ok that’s good!

Zorin OS is Ubuntu based. I wonder if, like Mint, they prioritize apt and flatpaks over snaps when using apt.

I started with Mandrake back in 2000 and used Red Hat at school. In 2004 Ubuntu was released and I adopted it for life. I switched from Ubuntu to Xubuntu to Ubuntu MATE to Kubuntu up to this day. It’s the best because of all the quality of life additions, the stability of the LTS releases, the amount of widespread documenation, and general size of the community of users. This makes it a lot more easier to use and get help to troubleshoot any problems. So far it’s been mostly a problem free and easy experience.

Until recently…

I just discovered Zorin OS and started messing around with it in a VM. I gotta say it’s of of the best, most polished Gnome desktop experiences I’ve had so far with their free core version. While I love KDE for it’s desktop experience being the closest to Windows there is, I usually find it has WAY too many customizations to a fault. Some people like this, but I find that the more you mess with configs, the more prone to problems it gets. I also find Gnome to be more well put together and well integrated. The fact the customization options are limited means I spend more time doing what I need to do than messing around with getting my desktop just right. I just hate the default Gnome destop and whatever paradigm they tried to make. That’s why I’ve stuck with Kubuntu for a while. But with Zorin, I think they found the sweet spot. This might be my next install and I might recommend it to anyone who wants to get into Linux over Mint.

Yeah that’s what I was trying to refer to.

Absolutely disgusting.

Sorry, you have any other sources than X?

Didn’t Israelis advocate for the right for military personnel to rape Palestinian prisoners?

That’s why they’re trying to find the whistle-blower.

And nothing will happen because corporate profits are more important.

Acting would mean hindering or getting rid of capitalism. And that’s not going to happen unless there’s a major revolution.

LoL same. It’s what made me move to Ubuntu MATE and eventually Kubuntu.

Which distro is the best to get the latest KDE updates?

I can’t wait for this release!

It looks like you’re missing your video drivers.

Follow these instructions to install it properly.

What the heck is that source? This smells like an article trying to discredit him.

The problem is, if a newcomer gets on the market to sell a car and doesn’t benefit from the scale of the other mass manufacturers, they unfortunately have no choice but to sell at a high price.

That’s why buying local is often more expensive. But in the end, I think it’s worth it for everybody for many reasons.

People forget this is a miniaturized advanced personal computer that fits in your pocket with lots of extra features. Plus, there’s a lot of work behind the software.

Not to mention, they probably don’t benefit from having the same manufacturing scale and power as Samsung, Google, or Apple. Or the same deals for parts.

It’s essentially an object oriented shell. It’s actually pretty good. But yeah, error outputs are a pain to read.

what-do-you-mean-awful-syntax ?

That’s basically how Powershell works.

*ducks*

That’s what I’m waiting to see. We have to be patient.
