I went with Nvidia and I never really had any issues on Linux with it (I only use Linux).
AMD might be better on Linux out of the box in the sense that you can just install whatever distro and it’s going to work and with Nvidia some distros will require to install the drivers yourself or tinker one time in the terminal but it’s really not that big of a deal
But go with whatever you think is best for you.
Long live the Bolivarian revolution 🫡
But have they figured out how to keep the wheels from falling off?
How the hell can you be a chain smoker and run a marathon?!
I have beach front property for sale on the Las Vegas strip for anyone who buys this…
If you truly hated what was going on in Palestine you wouldn’t be casting a vote for the son of a bitch arming and funding it but like many of the other selfish Americans you will throw Palestinians under the bus for some vague/meager gains for yourselves.
No discipline. No solidarity. Just me, me, me, & me.
So go ahead. Protect a "woman’s right to choose"or whatever you have to tell yourself to still be able to look at yourself in the mirror while pregnant women in Palestine have to have C-section’s without any anesthetic at all…Not to mention the grade school aged kids having to get limbs amputated under the same conditions.
Unions in the US continue to be controlled opposition
Btw I’d still use mint…I only switched away because I wasn’t a big fan of how much it looked like windows and how green everything was. Lol. But I was still a noob at the time and hadn’t fully comprehended how customizable Linux distros are. I could’ve changed a lot with the appearance if I knew what I was doing
Honestly. I don’t think you’re missing much. It’s not like if you go to a different distro suddenly you’re going to have all these new applications you can’t get on mint or anything.
I started with mint and played around with other distros (mostly Debian/Ubuntu & Arch based ones) and I ended up settling on an Ubuntu based distro with kde desktop.
Using something like Arch might make sense if your PC is super new as they tend to have support for the newest hardware.
At most you might want to try a different desktop environment but if you have no reason to hop I would say don’t waste your time unless you’re bored and want to experiment just for the hell of it.
there’s a site that will let you play around with different distros/desktop environments over the Web (it’s going to be slow and you can’t use a VPN when connecting) but that might be a good choice before going through the trouble of downloading a distro, flashing to USB and possibly installing it on your PC/laptop just to find out you hate it.
Depressing. Mainstream media is such a cancer.
The other ⅔ apparently have their head in the sand .
In my experience I’ve noticed Linux tends to (disproportionately) attract both libertarians and socialists/communists. I feel like I run into more of both within the Linux community than I do in other communities.
I started using Linux because I couldn’t force myself to use Windows 8. Up to that point I used whatever version of Windows came right before the graphical interface but 8 was too awful so I started playing with mint and never went back…
I got off the capitalism train in the middle of that but that was only because I decided to major in business and when I saw how the sausage was made I jumped ship but I didn’t know anything about socialism or communism or marxism or whatever you want to call it. I was so not into politics or economics that I literally had to search the Internet and ask people on social media what was an alternative to the crap I was reading for my classes… And then I went down that rabbit hole. If was enlightening. I learned a lot.
Also… for people who think college is Marxist indoctrination…Marx was brought up for one paragraph in one book at the very very end of my 4 years. But by that point I already knew who he was just from the rabbit hole I went down when I was curious for some alternative to what I was being taught.
If enough people steal via self checkout they will go away. (This is not shopping/self checkout advice)
Honestly it’s kind of shocking this didn’t happen sooner. Idk how people follow Jesus and then say, “those homeless people sleeping under that bridge are drug addicts and bums. They’re getting exactly what they deserve because they don’t want to work” and the general glorification of “free market” capitalism to the point of arguing not all people are worthy of things like healthcare or food.
To me it just never seemed compatible with their religion and if you look to South America there’s a strong correlation between socialism/communism and Christianity/Catholicism… Nicaragua is a fine example of this. (See image) “Christianity, socialism, solidarity” is what it says.
Your argument is that it was smart to go this route and let thousands be killed only for them to end up (at best) in the same place they would’ve been had they just negotiated a peaceful resolution in the first place.
The absolutely delusional take was the popular opinion that all that needed to be done was to shove as many weapons as possible into Ukraine and with that they would defeat Russia. I even recall talks of “taking Crimea” (which is kind of silly in retrospect given their inability to retake the donbass region).
Instead of avoiding most of this bloodshed thousands of lives were lost only to end up at basically the same position they would’ve ended up had this just been negotiated early on and that’s me being optimistic & assuming they’ll be offered the same deal as before (which there’s very little incentive for Russia to do given their position, Ukraine’s position, & the west’s appetite to continue funding/arming Ukraine going forward.
I think it’s funny that when it first started and Russia tried to negotiate it was all, “boo! Fuck you Putin!”
Now it’s all, “why won’t you negotiate? you fucking asshole!”
It’s criminal that Cuba has been crushed with sanctions for decades all because the US doesn’t like their government. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot how people would react
Can’t we just put trump and Harris on one of bezos’ penis rockets to space and try to get by without a president ? Maybe send Congress and the Senate with them so they don’t get lonely.
