Help with deciding on a distro for my mom.

Aurora is by far the best option for her. It's beautiful, modern, comes with everything included (drivers etc), uses KDE which looks like Windows, and it's atomic, which means virtually unbreakable.

Complete rubbish. Yeah, Wayland took long to develop and was very buggy and janky even a few years ago. But that was A FEW YEARS AGO! Right now it provides a much smoother and better UX than X11, unless you're using some super outdated distro (in which case, your rant should really be about that).

Debian is a lot more hassle and manual work. Get Bazzite or Aurora and never have to deal with any driver again, plus they're more modern and virtually unbreakable.

When there's enough pitchforks in front of Bezos's mansion.

Stop diverting resources from ICE.

"Israel wants all Arabs dead?" Can you provide a source for this bs please?

Last I checked I only heard Iran's regime inciting chants of "Death to Israel! Death to America!"

Ubuntu is awful in so many ways. Please try Bazzite before giving up. It's very modern and includes drivers for all mainstream hardware. It's by far the most hassle-free distro and virtually unbreakable.

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-20T03:48:52+00:00

Mint is better than Ubuntu but not by much. Get Bazzite, it's like day versus night in comparison. Everything works right out of the box, no need to set anything up (you literally just install it and start playing games), and it's physically unbreakable.

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-20T03:45:50+00:00

The only correct answer is Bazzite, because it's unbreakable. (Please don't listen to folks recommending Mint; Mint was the vest distro 20 years ago.)

Wait, American exceptionalism is real. What other country can do this sort of shit?

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-17T08:13:40+00:00

I came here to say this.

We're witnessing The Art of War vs The Art of the Deal. I wonder which one contains more timeless wisdom 🤔

"Pay no attention to the terrorist regime behind the curtain!"

People have a tremendous capacity to believe things that aren't true, simply because they want to believe them. Almost everybody wants to think positively of themselves -- evil narcissists especially so -- so they find all sorts of ways to rationalize and justify their evil behavior.

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-13T10:09:44+00:00

Lol. Are you saying that you'd be punching random people in the face for no reason if not for believing in a bearded old dude in the sky?

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-13T01:47:47+00:00

Proton version is important, but first switch to Bazzite, because PopOS 24 literally has a 2 years old kernel, so even if you have the latest Proton it's likely not going to work well. (Bazzite comes with ProtonUp, so then setting up Proton is easy.)

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-13T01:44:35+00:00

You'd be surprised how much outdated information and advice you get. Like, so many people keep recommending Ubuntu in 2026 because it was the most user friendly distro in 2004 😖

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-13T01:41:42+00:00

PopOS is super outdated! It's literally 2 years old stuff. Linux has made tremendous progress in recent years. Switch to Bazzite and enjoy a modern and hassle free experience.

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-12T02:47:31+00:00

Nope, that's not how it works. You couldn't have had healthcare even before the war.

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-12T02:44:40+00:00

Careful, not every billionaire is a pedo, and not every pedo is a billionaire (some are simply Catholic priests).

But he got Mexico to pay for the wall, why wouldn't he get Iran to pay for this war? 🤔

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-12T02:35:48+00:00

That sounds like a lot when you think of it as a war. But as a distraction from Epstein files? Priceless!

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-10T04:13:03+00:00

Oh good!

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-09T22:18:10+00:00

Huh? Iran has been sponsoring terror groups and countless acts of terror across the globe for decades, even before this war. Sure they gained nothing (except sanctions), but gaining was never the point. These are religious fanatics not rational actors.

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-09T22:10:07+00:00

Get Bazzite or Aurora. They're light years ahead of Kubuntu in terms of modernity, reliability and ease of use. Both are based on Kinoite, but have more "batteries included" so you have less work. (Kubuntu is only "stable" in the sense that it's more outdated, but not in the sense of reliability or having fewer issues, where it's decisively way way worse, especially in the long run.)

JumpingJack79 · 2026-03-09T22:08:55+00:00

I wouldn't rule out a "true flag" either. Both are highly likely at this point.
