I’m in the same boat, but I’m starting to look around again. I’m curious about Wayland, so I started looking at Debian KDE last night, but I get hung up on choosing between stable, testing or unstable. Also the download page wasn’t working for me.

Does it support Wayland? I know they’re working on it, but last I read it was still a WIP.

I’m with you on Cinnamon, but I’m anxious for the Wayland support.

Nano. It’s easy and I’ve never had a reason to change.

Linux Mint Debian Edition. I started using Linux in 2007. I’ve tried a lot of distros, and like several of them, but Mint is the comfiest desktop distro for me.

Oh hell yeah! I’ve been dying to install a browser that doesn’t support uBlock Origin.

I support Palestine Action. From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free.

There: I’ve broken British and Australian laws.

I think it’s a bit boring. It’s fantastic for servers, and as a base for other distros. I did recently try it after using Mint for years (LMDE recently). I even used it with the Cinnamon DE I’m used to, and I just found it lacked some polish or something. Little niceties here and there. That’s it really. Minor drawbacks, and no advantage to me over LMDE, so that’s what I’m back to.

I also love Mint, though I now run the Debian-based one (LMDE).

Traditionally they’ve been email lists. Easy to set up and everyone has an email address.

Avoiding studying for exams in 2007.

Use Ventoy to put a few different distros on a USB drive. Boot them up and try them out! You just want something you vibe with. Most of the suggestions here will be fine.

It meets their needs and preferences, simple as that. I tried Arch in like 2008, and thought people were crazy for all the trouble it took back then. Nowadays there’s a lot of nice distros built on it, so you can get the benefits (such as they may be) without all the low-level tinkering.

OpenSSL?

Gross. Fuck FUTO.

I already don’t have any of those things on my de-googled android. I’m used to it. Sure, they would be nice, but it’s not a dealbreaker that I have to tap a card instead of my phone, or use Bluetooth instead of carplay, or type on my phone instead of talking to it.

A thing about Linux is that there’s usually like 10 different ways to accomplish something. If you hit a dead end in terms of your ability or tolerance for frustration… just go back to square one and find a different approach. For games, I recommend starting with Steam.

Same here. Started with Feisty Fawn in 2007. Had so much fun with compiz lol.

Me, a hacker, targeting anyone who says they use Arch btw.
