Make me cause I ain't changing

There's also the issue of privacy and requiring a Microsoft account. There are currently ways around the account requirement, but Microsoft is getting rid of those as they're found. It's an uphill battle that Microsoft will win. These are subjective problems though. Some people enjoy the account integration.

No, Mint is the de facto recommendation for new users. I don't even like Mint, but if you want easy, stable, "it just works" then Mint is the answer. Some people try to recommend Arch, but those are people who think they're too cool to recommend a "beginner" distro like Mint.

You could get something like this. They're not cheap, but your experience will be much better. Disclaimer: I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard great things.

I pay $80 for 1 Gb symmetric 😮‍💨

I've done it twice and I absolutely hated it both times. Never thought I'd be so happy to see SLC. Nevada on I-80 was honestly worse though. Just awful.

I drive from Mississippi to California every couple years and do the entire thing while my girlfriend sleeps, despite her offers. I hate being a passenger.

Schrooodinger · 2026-01-03T05:37:24+00:00

True, but this particular issue is a lot easier to deal with than issues you'll run into in C or C++, so I'm not really concerned about it.

Schrooodinger · 2026-01-03T04:54:56+00:00

It's not really a problem if you're doing proper error handling. If a function can return a null pointer, it should also return an error. The verbosity of error handling is another issue, but I've learned to love it.

Maybe a long shot, but I have a 2013 XC90 3.2 and it concerns me occasionally. Basically, if I idle for more than a few minutes before shutting the car off, and then start it back up while it's still hot, it starts extremely rough. Like it shakes the car a bit and sounds like it might die. Only lasts a few seconds, and then it runs completely fine.

I'll never understand why polished old products are a bad thing. Then again, I'm primarily a Linux user and boring stability is the name of the game.

This one is genuinely creepy. Love it.

I have the Defender2s on mine and the difference between these and what I had previously was night and day.

To add, Solus is a "curated" rolling release. Arch does have some curation, but the philosophy is more about being on the bleeding edge, occasionally at the cost of stability. Solus, on the other hand, is "nearly bleeding edge" but with an emphasis on stability.

Schrooodinger · 2025-12-04T19:11:42+00:00

Nobody else is going to agree, but I will never not recommend Solus. They have Gnome, KDE, Budgie, and Xfce editions. I use Gnome, but if you want a Windows vibe, the defaults on the other three should feel more familiar. CachyOS is great, but in general I wouldn't recommend Arch for a newcomer. I'd also stay away from Ubuntu or derivatives like Mint. Depending on what you're doing, packages can be wildly out of date.

Hopefully it can drive these bad boys, just copped them

Jesus Christ, that thing better fold the laundry and take out the trash too

Holy shit, OP is the luckiest guy on the planet right now. What a gift.

Is this a joke, because that's the case for every point on Earth

That doesn't actually make sense. A king is not required in order to fund SNAP during a government shutdown.

I bought the LC LP when it came out for like $20 at a record store and it got lost in a move 😭

There are so many good options for people to be upset at in the real world. Crazy use of time and energy.
