I believe LMDE includes the proprietary stuff you might need and, as others have said, Debian 12 is starting to as well.
Historical fencer, bike packer, friend of the Fae, it’s gets complicated…

For a new user who just wants a good OS to start with, Pop_OS is a fine choice. A little surprised you had trouble with Mint identifying your WiFi card but, I see others have posted on it. Mint is typically my go-to recommendation for new Linux users.
“Plutocracy” is the term for “Financial Oligarchy” BTW. Worth knowing the term if you live in the U.S. since that’s kinda what we have here these days :/
If he’s going to dress like the, he’s just asking for it.
Have to agree. They had a great start by enhancing Debian and being user friendly but, then they just kind of lost their way.
Although, speaking as a fan of Mint who used it as my “daily driver” for years, I think the time has come for them to switch from Ubuntu to Debian and embrace Wayland. I know that, if I’d stayed with Mint, I’ve have gone to LMDE by now.
I don’t know, Linus is still trying to excuse and justify. It would seem taking him out of the driver’s seat was the right call. As for the rest, they are responding because their backs are against the wall. Time will tell if they will really make any changes.
This YouTube from Gamers Nexus is not monetized and appears to do a pretty good job addressing it.

Unsubscribed from the LTT channel now. To be honest, I mainly followed it because I was amused this “tech influencer” borked his PC trying to install Pop_OS.
You can’t. Furthermore, the consequences of “people pleasing” and “conflict avoidance” can do far more damage than the occasional bad rep. In fact, if you’re consistent about setting and enforcing reasonable boundaries, you’ll ultimately gain more respect in the long run.
I’ve been trying running a VPN on my phone as a matter of course lately (Proton). I’m assuming it not only keeps your ISP from knowing where you’re going but, more importantly, advertisers and trackers as well.

…or do I have that last bit wrong?
I generally tell people on Manjaro to stay off the AUR. If it’s not in their “curated” repository, then just go with the flatpak.
I’ve used both. Manjaro, in their attempt to be “user friendly”, winds up disconnecting you from what makes Arch good. EndeavorOS, on the other hand, is basically Arch nicely set up for a “daily driver” PC along with some nice tools of their own you can use or not at your discretion. I’ve also used just plain Arch and I actually prefer EndeavourOS of the three.
I thought that was the Heterosexual Pride Flag? You know, blue for a man, pink for a woman, and white for the purity of God’s love between them.

I’ve been curious about going “both ways”, but never acted upon it… ;)
I guess I did follow people on Twitter, I had friends there…then Musk made it weird…
I gave Mastodon a look when Twitter started to get all “Musky”. I wound up going with Counter.Social in the end.
Nah, it’s Genesis, she’s holding it upside down…
