Linux mint is pretty chill! Debian I think? Its got all the bells and whistles. When I set it up for the first time it kinda reminded me of windows. I also like redshift which does not work on pop OS which I use now as a daily driver.

Why would anyone stick to one distro? Just jump in figure it out yourself. I had no help and I managed. Find a beater and beat it. I started on mint... now I run 4 distros. JUST DO IT! People will cringe but I like pop OS amoung many other. I just recently installed https://www.coreboot.org/ and linux on a old acer chrome desktop. The documentation was sparse and incomplete but by the grace of dog I got it working. It was a pain in the arse but pretty neato after I was done. I have it on a roling cart to test and set up routers or do things with networks when I need to connect externally to test stuff out. The struggle and the uncertainy is the point.... from there it will snowball into you wanting to install linux on every thing. But whats up with this BSD thingie... like I said crack some eggs!!! The feds can crack anything but the point of it all is to take control! Have you tried a bootable USB or virtual machine? I find all distros relativly stable clearly, windows or mac OSX have never met my standards anyways. Always back up your files. Thats my inflated 2 cents. Get some... get off the pot before you forget how to walk!!! Everyones got opinions like they got arse holes. PS. if it is a tower just add more bootable drives. Who cares if it fails cause you got it backed up! When things break it is a oppertunity to learn and cry.

People don't want to pay taxes to politicians they don't trust for wars they don't want to fight. We don't live in a stable society, some are walking contradictions via shallow understandings because they live in a world of contradiction. Shrugged sholders "such is life"..... At least thats my take on taxes. Why gawd did yankeeland destroy its rail system.

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

Every dictator has a inner circle that represents the owners. Dick this tator that.... but guess who is always in charge...the capitalist class. You were left with the bill... now you are angry. Welcome to lumpkin pumpkin! No war but the class war. Western "democracies" pffftttt more like mathmatical realities and fiscal iresponsablities by design with a splash of some "freemarket economies" which produces the shit cake of monopoly. The system is functioning as planned. All is going swimmingly. If you know the recipe it is safe to say you can bake a shit cake! You are living in the reality you fight for....congratulations. Winner! So hummble you don't even want to take credit.

What a beta imperial slave colony.... A turd sandwich of a country. We ain't up to nothing... really just watching the top 10% pass around money until this imperial fart dissipates. We will start over again in the nucular waste of just a few mens ambition to once again rediscover and build simple things such as the wheel. Capitalism is exponential like the gas that builds in my colon only to be released as a foul odor of yeasterday when "things were great." One generation builds, another pigs out then the next scrambles just to find something to eat as the planet winces in pain, sick and tired of all "gods children". It is the survival of the fittest as justice is always served...YOLO netflix and chill drinking from a poisonous well.... Brutes Morons and the tech bros. Welcome to the worlds casino aka dum dum yankeeland. Remember the democrats will not save you! The USA is not a democracy and if you want to see change it will have to be uproot the system via kentic means. Nothing new under the sun.

I go to civil rights rallies And I put down the old D.A.R. I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy I hope every colored boy becomes a star But don't talk about revolution That's going a little bit too far So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal - Phil Ochs

We can’t even afford to maintain the system that we currently have. ASCE says we need to spend $87 billion per year from 2018 to 2038 just for basic rehabilitation of highways. By comparison, states reported in 2022 that they spent ~$89 billion collectively across all capital costs for roads.

We got nazi corpo human trackers (aka cell phones), no privacy in our healthcare (example: google menstral apps), cameras in your neighborhood (aka flock) and anti human hostle infrastructure.... yet the brutal imperial core has yet to figure out how to maintain and build roads. I can taste that freedumb and it taste like cabbage farts. Oh you know the bored nancy pelosi karens ready to sell out your whole town to overlords. Quite down tin foil hat man. Both of these polital parties have got to go. Both are complicient in imperial aggression and genocide. Why do you simp for either??.... you don't even get the spoils. So beta

The country’s civil engineers agree: $1.5 trillion didn’t produce good infrastructure (t4america.org)
 

Despite historic levels of investment in infrastructure over the last twenty years, America’s 2025 infrastructure grades for roads, bridges, safety, and transit look mostly the same. No one should consider putting a single penny more into a program with such bad results. Unfortunately, raising new money is at the top of the list for our country’s association of civil engineers.

The Kidnap Years by David Stout (www.penguin.co.nz)
 

This shocking, historical true crime account brings to light the illegal activity that many people engaged in to make a living during the Great Depression: kidnapping

A chilling true crime book that chronicles the wave of abductions that terrorized the U.S. during the Great Depression, including the most infamous kidnapping case in American history.

The Great Depression was a time of desperation in America—parents struggled to feed their children and unemployment was at a record high. Adding to the lawlessness of the decade, thugs with submachine guns and corrupt law-enforcement officers ran rampant. But amidst this panic, there was one sure-fire way to make money, one used by criminals and resourceful civilians alike: kidnapping.

Jump into this forgotten history with Edgar Award-winning author David Stout as he explores the reports of missing people that inundated newspapers at the time. Learn the horrifying details of these abduction cases, from the methods used and the investigative processes to the personal histories of the culprits and victims. All of this culminates with the most infamous kidnapping in American history, the one that targeted an international celebrity and changed legislation forever: the Lindbergh kidnapping.

The Kidnap Years is a gritty, visceral, thoughtfully reported page-turner that chronicles the sweep of abductions that afflicted all corners of the country as desperate people were pushed to do the unthinkable. Fans of The Postman Always Rings Twice and other 30s and 40s American Noir crime novels will be fascinated by the true crime of the times.

The point where people say, well, you know, it's No big deal, it's just their stuff. You gotta remember, this technology is keeping tabs on you, even though somebody else has one of these phones or AI nonsense. If you associate with that person, it takes that and keeps that. You might as well get a shovel and dig your grave if you're not going to mis-behave. The lack of privacy rights in this country is making me see red.
