I think Fedora is best of both worlds, if you want something closer to current Linux kernels/mesa for things like gaming, but don’t want to run a rolling release distro like Arch. Been running Fedora for about a year now and couldn’t be happier with the transition.

That said, if you aren’t gaming and just want absolute stability, no matter what, Mint or Debian ARE the go-to solutions to use. They are the Toyota Hilux of distros.

I’ve been running Debian-based servers and desktops for a fuck ton of time. I’ve never had a single upgrade break on Debian. Not sure what the hell you were doing, but that’s definitely not the norm.

Setting minimum wages is different than outright banning tipping.

While I share the sentiment, he doesn’t have control over Federal wage laws. Ensuring that being tipped sufficiently is the norm is about the best option he has to protect tipped wages. I’m not sure if he can somehow ban tipped employment within the city or not. If he can, maybe that’ll be planned in the future.

Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps: I picked up the first game in a Humble Bundle years ago and decided to play it randomly. Instantly became obsessed and then got the sequel when I beat it.

Canonical has had a lot of missteps in recent years. Some (like snaps) they still actively are shooting themselves in the foot with.

I just timed my Debian box from cold shut down to ready to go. It was 13 seconds.

My Ubuntu Server? It took 86 seconds to boot on the exact same hardware.

Absolute psycho shit.

A standard install of Ubuntu Server uses more RAM, has longer boot times, and generally just needs more resources to get going. You can strip some of that out, but Debian is that way from the start. Plus, Ubuntu is just Debian with extra shit on top.

Debian is also much longer lived and stable than even Ubuntu LTS releases, so I generally have just found it to be better suited to deployments where I don’t want to fuck with it for a long time, besides monthly patching.

As someone who has both Ubuntu servers and Debian servers…go with Debian. It does everything Ubuntu does, but leaner and better.

How does one send a massage? 😁

Not how it works at the border

Yes because he’s a fucking mind reader who should have thought beforehand that his rights would be tramped in his own country.

Shut the fuck up with your victim blaming bullshit.

The cops were trying to search him under duress, while denied legal representation, without being read his Miranda rights, and without a warrant. Why are you trying to blame the victim of this bullshit?

He’s a US Citizen. He should be able to re-enter his own country without being subjected to this bullshit.

This GIF never gets old.

I prefer Mango Mussolini. Better alliteration.

JFC I thought you were exaggerating.

If you get old ObiTalk devices and flash them with community firmware, you can use Google Voice for free with a land line phone connected to it. Batt backup for your modem, router, and the adapter and you’ve got a free phone.

Gee Chey…ya fuckin’ think so? Maybe you should double check. /s

Mint, Fedora, Pop_OS!..these are good distros to start on. Some people start and end on these.

CachyOS, Arch, Manjaro…these are not what you throw at a newbie.
