  • The first person I met who used Mint was asking me how to fix his Nvidia output stutter lol.

    The answer was updated kernel shenanigans which is probably Mint’s only weakness.

    Anyways, that’s usually why I recommend Fedora since I think it properly fits the same spot where Ubuntu was like 15 years ago. Cutting edge stable, large community, and much easier support than something more downstream.

    That being said, a good chunk of users have been quite happy with stuff like Bazzite and CachyOS because they’re mostly here to play games.

    But yeah I agree, the popular recommendations of the week really need to be ignored for first time users. I still remember when they were pretty much all just Ubuntu downstreams that never fixed any of the upstream issues that Canonical created, which led to a ton of youtubers thinking Linux stability was behind.

    On a similar note, it’s also why I recommend literally any DE except GNOME. It looks and functions like a knockoff ChromeOS tablet, despite the fact that it used to be the home of Compiz 15+ years ago, which is the peak of desktop UX lol.

    Gaddafi was the same as Saddam

    They are both glazed for their policies because the post US nuke was worse.

    And the irony is both also came to and retained their power by virtue of US foreign policy.

    They both also clung too hard to their power which is how they lost popularity amongst their own people because of insane torture, executions, hypocrisy, corruption, etc.

    Now we just need to make Warthunder not work on linux…

    Gaijin devs have us all by the crotch lol.

    I would kill for a competitor game. I’d even be happy with a proper DCS arcade mod that let’s you do the same stuff as WT realistic battles.





  • I wonder how badly this could have gone had Iran’s military been at their prime.

    They used to have a seriously competent airforce which they could have easily transitioned into modern Chinese tech had they invested into it.

    Even now without it, they have a bloody history of a war with Iraq in which they also had to defend with a terrible lack of parts and supplies.

    I still feel bad that their successful hit on an F-35 didn’t result in a kill considering they had to hit it at close range with an IR missile.
