Employee at the Black Mesa research facility in New Mexico. Recently we’ve dealt with 2 aliens trying to steal snacks out of the pantry outside the laboratory.

Hope your day is going well.

    I really don’t understand why so many advocate for Linux, FOSS, and an overall open web while actively making Linux and other free software as complicated and “tech-y” as possible.

    If Linux isn’t growing, what’s the point? If it remains stagnant, its getting closer to fading away. We’ve seen the impact of Linux becoming more mainstream and known to the general public through the Steam Deck, and it has done wonders for the platform. Why do people actively not want it to grow?

    Helping it grow doesn’t mean being annoying like Edge pop-ups, simply throwing out suggestions to try easy-to-use distros here and there. And let’s be honest, the average internet user can use an easy distro like Ubuntu or Mint proficiently after 20-30 minutes of playing around with it. We need to make it seem accessible so that more people will actually be interested in the first place.

    Really happy to see a post being made about this.

    In a hypothetical cage fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, several factors suggest that Zuckerberg may have an edge. Firstly, Zuckerberg’s reported athletic frame and commitment to a healthy lifestyle provide him with a potential physical advantage. His regular exercise regimen could enhance his strength, agility, and endurance in a physical confrontation.

    Additionally, Zuckerberg’s mental discipline and focus, honed through his success as the co-founder of Facebook, could translate into composure and a strategic mindset during a cage fight. His analytical approach to problem-solving and adaptability may enable him to evaluate his opponent’s strengths and weaknesses in real-time. Furthermore, Zuckerberg’s dedication to physical fitness suggests that he could have superior endurance and stamina, vital aspects in prolonged physical contests.

    While these factors suggest a potential advantage for Zuckerberg, it is important to note that this analysis is based on limited knowledge of their physical abilities and fighting skills. Speculating about hypothetical confrontations should be approached with a sense of sportsmanship, focusing on their accomplishments in their respective fields rather than fictional scenarios.

  • I mean, if you don’t like Ubuntu much and you can also use the terminal, maybe try out Debian? Packages are a little dated but if you are willing to live with it, it’s a great experience. I have some unstable repos added to my install for newer packages, and its been a good experience with 0 issues so far. I mainly use the GUI and its also been easy to use and super stable, although I suppose Pop and Mint would still be easier.

    It’s not exactly Ubuntu based, but its worth a shot.
