To be fair there's a stranger, possibly judgemental, with a camera photographing him. Atleast the Virtual Beach has tranquility, relatively speaking.

i have been an Android user through and through. Don't want to give an enny to the giant oligopoly spearhead if i can help it...

Anyways, my colleague had bought an iPhone 6 an year after it was released. I remember to this day vividly, we were in the elevator, we were talking about it. He took it out, I held his iPhone 6 in my hand, and it was the most surreal experience I have had with technology up until that point.

It just felt Unbelievable, Unreal, to see a phone so lightweight, so thin, so compact, and not be a toy/downscaled dummy unit. Even the curved sides, which were aesthetically unappealing at first in photos, just clicked when I actually held the phone in my own hand.

It's been almost a decade, and still I feel like I have never seen a smartphone that had such a perfect in hand feeling.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't buy it because Android just had too much going for it and for my preference and use case, iOS never was going to be a consideration. But for a fleeting moment, I really envied my colleague for having one of the best feeling smartphones at the time.

Mint all the way.

Look, I know that there will never be consensus with this topic, but I genuinely believe Mint has the potential to become posterboy for the Linux boom.

It's not just about the path of least resistance (i.e., ease of use and learning with safety wheels), but it's also about setting the fundamentals strong and limiting them to maintainable manageable levels. Which I felt Mint walks the line pretty succinctly.

There's a song called 'No More Fucks to Give', all time banger (you should listen to it if you haven't), it made me have a small realization that you have only a limited amount of Fucks you can give in life, and I feel like same should be a good soft rule any distro to adhere to.

hey me too! Andromeda had such a tragic fate..

Sometimes i really despise this hobby and the community in general. Masterpieces are rare by nature, so to expect exceptional at every step feels unfair and an impossible standard.

we really ought to celebrate and enjoy the good enoughs, and the deviants.. ain't nothing wrong in a 7/10 sequel that approached differently.

Absolutely. They will.

With the momentum that Mint already has, it has the highest chance of succeeding as the primary distro for Linux newbies in the coming years.

some long winded thoughts...

Like every PC Semi-enthusiast sufferer of Windows, when I was looking for a Linux distro to respite, I deliberated way too long on which distro to use. Finally I realized that the way I use Windows, I'll not be able to fully switch over to Linux anytime soon. So instead of burning midnight oil, one day i said fuck it, and installed Mint as a dual boot option. I spent quite a lot of time trying to make the Mint as close to my Windows setup as possible, but couldn't do fully. Plus the VKD3D performance penalty for Nvidia GPU in DX12 games meant I was never going to ditch Windows as my primary gaming OS.

hmmm... tough choice... i guess... I'll burn them all! No biases then

so I'm not very knowledgeable about the Linux world, but I'm also not completely green. In my lifetime I have dabbled with trying out 4-5 distros either dualbooting or VMing, Ubuntu being my first experience.

But i feel like, as much as I love our Lord and Savior GabeN, what Valve's doing with Steam OS is not fully how I image a PC Linux Utopia vision looks like? Maybe i am not able to word it properly, my thought salad, but it feels like there is something missing in the Valve's approach to challenging Microsoft's grip on PC market
