Thanks solid advice.

I do care about why people don’t like cononical, but it’s a marathon not a sprint.

Every step in the right direction is a win.

I really want to find a nice distro that just works and that I can eventually switch friends and family onto.

It might not be the MOST ethical or best distro, but it’s better than Microsoft and to me that’s enough.

Thanks I’ll give them a try, EndeavoursOS is next on my list.

I know it’s dumb but I just really don’t like the name Fedora so I’ve strayed away so far 😅 Names matter

I’ve heard this is quite a mess to maintain.

Ideally I want to find the best out of the box solution so that I can switch friends and family over to when I feel they and the software are ready

Same and how well a game runs on the Steam Machine will likely be in all benchmarks and devs will optimise their games for Linux (Steam OS)

This is so dumb wow.

Good luck out there in the dating pool if something like this will have you disqualify someone.

I’m sure there was people shouting that they refuse to date people who send emails instead of letters back in the day.

Imagine how juicy they must be, in Zero G none of the juices would drip off it would just be held in the chicken by surface tension

Compared to and based on what? Can you add some context.

That has not been my experience at all

Linux battery life is bad?

My laptop battery life doubled when I switched from Windows to Mint

Yea I get that, the same is true where I’m from. Only a lucky few of us have the option to move if we want to, and are willing to make the sacrifices and put in the effort.

Sell your car, and buy a plane ticket plus your first months accommodation, that’s what I did. In much of Europe you don’t need a car, where in the US that’s not true.

IDK, look I’m not saying it’s easy at all, moving continents is a very difficult thing trust me I know. Sadly many good things don’t come easy.

One thing living in the EU has taught me is how valuable Work Life Balance is. Where I’m from working overtime, being burnt out and not having job security is normal.

You have no idea how nice it is to have 25 days paid leave each year, full job security and basically never having to work overtime.

I would pick that over a 30% higher salary any day of the week. Work to Live, don’t Live to Work.

If I could do it from Africa for a better life, I’m sure Americans can do it from a first world country.

It’s definitely not easy leaving everything you ever knew behind to live on a different continent but The Pro’s are Healthcare, Employee Rights, Stability, Safety etc. so it’s so worth it for many.

Moving from US to EU seems like such an obvious choice. You gain healthcare, employee rights, walk-able cities etc.

It would be great if it could run fully locally with loads of security around it so only you have access

EU Made Simple (the creator of the video above) made a video about Immigration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2b5z1FJTs8

I mostly agree with it, if we follow this model it will stop a lot of people moving far-right

I’d love to see the difference it makes to battery life.

I switched my gaming laptop to Linux and the battery life more than doubled (while not gaming)

Ah damn it’s 15:03 I missed it, geuss I’ll have to play games some more and try again at 16:00

That was a lot of fun.
If you haven’t tried it already, try his ‘create a password’ game.
it’s fun and infuriating

It’s GNOME with a lot of hand holding and guidance, which is what your average user is used to and wants. Most people here aren’t the target audience for Zorin as we probably already run Linux

They seem to very much focus on a smooth UX for people trying Linux for the first time. It seems to be made idiot proof, so it won’t frustrate new users and would meet all the needs of the vast majority of users
