Thanks for the solid explanation.
As a noob that doesn’t change my distro too often, I never would have thought of something like this.

They had a KDE version for a while. Ended up dropping it since all of their in-house tools and stuff were GTK.
Now they only have 3 GTK DE options.
Just curious, why a script instead of just a bash alias or something like it?
Mint used to be based on the newest versions of Ubuntu.
They only use the LTS as a base now to make development easier. That’s why everything is older.
This probably doesn’t add anything to the conversation, but your comment reminded me of this change a few years ago.
This was my first thought as well.
Be happy you can boot from a USB. Do NOT fuck with the machine unless you want to look for another job.
I’m pratty sure old.reddit.com lets you bypass this.
I think you’re looking for a pomodoro timer of some kind. Search for one on F-droid and see if that works for you.
Nice. Didn’t see it while I was checking.
Personally, as a noob myself, I enjoy reading about others’ experiece when they switch. No idea why. Just fun to read usually.
As an aside, I’m using Mull on Android with uBlock Origin on medium mode and I got no ads or pop-ups of any kind while reading the article.
Firefox’s reader mode can also be very useful for this in some cases.
Hopefully, this is something that can help you or someone else since I get to skip most of the ads and annoyances that I see people complain about on articles like this.
Gonna agree with the others here.
Stick to Debian. Especially for the stated use. A slow-moving distro with very few surprises is perfect.
One day when I’m all growed up I want to have a better setup. For now I’ve got what I absolutely need.
It’s not much, but I’ve got a little LG netbook with an Atom CPU and 2GB RAM running Pi-hole and Syncthing.
I never got into Sands of Time, but I finished Warrior Within multiple times on PS2 and also enjoyed The Two Towers. That was an amazing trilogy.
Agreed. I want rolling release so I’m up to date and don’t have to reinstall when a major version upgrade inevitably breaks something. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed gives me that in a reliable little package. It has its quirks, but I’m trying to learn as I go.
Around where I live everyone uses TrueCaller. Absolute ad-ridden garbage though. I am using the Google dialer at the moment. Hoping there are some good ones in here.
I’ve never owned an Apple device or dealt with iMessage chats before but my understanding is that Android users and their blue bubbles don’t have access to some of the features of iMessage and that messes with the chat for everyone or something. Also LUL Android user is too poor/not cool enough to own an iPhone. That’s what I’ve gathered from Americans on the internet anyway.
Pi-hole was really simple to set up. It was absolutely worth it and I’ve got it running on an old netbook. Very easy on resources.
Syncthing is also nice if you have files that you want easily shared between devices. I use it for sharing work files that I want synced between multiple devices. When I edit something it gets shared to all of my devices and it’s always up to date everywhere.
