Ok, I guess that figures.

Not sure if half-serious or not, but since I’ve read that a couple of times now, by that logic, we really don’t know what anything is.

That highly depends on what you consider a “beginner distro” to be.

I don’t like the term, because to me, it implies that you have to emigrate from Mint to something else at some point, which is not the case.

It’s not a distro that is supposed to teach you how to do X on Linux systems. It’s just a solid OS with a lot of features that are easily accessible, which does make it suited for starters, yes.

I don’t think you have to or should touch the terminal at any time as a regular user and Mint allows you to not do that, as you pointed out as well.

I understood streaming as on the receiving end, e.g. watching streamed content online.

I would actually rate that as a plus.

While it’s nice to have the ability to run android apps, I don’t think many newcomers expect that.

However, it’s much more likely to find an Nvidia GPU in there somewhere, which works notoriously badly with Wayland.

Also Wayland has scaling issues with lower resolution fullscreen apps and settings.

I’d rather have those things working by default.

As someone who’s been in this for a while, go with Mint.

It’s not a “beginner distro”. You can start there, you can stay there as long as you don’t develop any super niche prerequisites. Even then, Mint can probably do it.

The developers are sane and it’s a popular system that has been in development for years with many tweaks and improvements. There’s a big community around it if you need help/guides.

You just can’t go wrong with it.

I’m sorry, but as much as I would like to share your worldview, I can’t.

Hunanity seriously has to get its shit together quickly, else a few scumbags will be ruining the fun for everyone.

As things stand currently, I’m leaning more toward the side of the guy in the comic.

Yes, it fills the screen the moment I select the X11 session. I even looked it up, Wayland just can’t do it.

I tried it on KDE (or rather, it forced me to after it simply updated to Wayland by default). I tried to set it up correctly, but it just didn’t quite work.

I also need no fractional scaling, but some software does not honor that anyway (e.g. VST interfaces).

Simply reducing the resolution is a simple fix, also easier on the GPU, but Wayland will not fill the screen and intead just shows the tiny original 1:1 image in the middle.

It may be the future, but it’s unusable for me.

I have a high dpi screen. Upscaling does not perfectly work for me in every program, but simply setting it to Full HD does work and looks fine.

However, when I set it to the lower resolution in Wayland, I have 50% of the display active with black bars all around.

So far, there seems to be no fix for this?

Same thing happens if you start older, lower resolution fullscreen apps (retro games and such).

You’re spinning in circles. I already admitted to understanding your point.

Since you like writing in proverbs, sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. Give them a taste of their own medicine. Let them feel what it’s like to be on the reciving end.

Those rich fucks tend to only pick fights with underpowered opponents, which is not that difficult due to their vast financial advantage. It’s only fair to level the playfield by such measures and one of the few things we can do.

The paradox of tolerance.

It’s a fine idea, but you can not equate the right to privacy of an innocent person and a perpetrator. (I know courts see this differently.)

The only point I would agree on is leave out the kids, they had no choice.

Is that something dirty?

Archery

Counter-Strike? Cybersex?

In what circumstance do you read back a text from someone who uses that character to them out loud?

Which one is that, if I may ask?

Do you, by any chance, have slight trouble breathing with a light cold, get a clogged nose easily or even have reduced sense of smell?

Because I do and I can also do what you describe.

Diablo 2.

I know there is a remake out, I’ve seen it.

I might do it, but I’ve fully switched to Linux in the mean time and I don’t want to put another 10 years of my life and tens of thousands of hours into it.

At least it would be good value for the money, I guess.

I’m in this post and I like it.
