I would agree w this. Had a parent get into a minor fender bender & had to help field calls from multiple injury lawyers.

What is the point of the UN & ICJ again? 🤔

Surprised they didn’t announce @ the keynote!

The 28th anniversary is so strange. Like why not wait until 30? They’re probably riding some 90s trendy nostalgia wave sparked by social media or something 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also, “eco-friendliness to a whole new level” sounds like marketing vomit. Aren’t eggshells compostable? I’m sure “recycling” them in this manner, probably with other plastics, will just relegate them to the plastic trash pile instead.

Oh dang! This is cool! I would love to get rid of a few streaming sticks I still use, sadly, and move over to something like this. I mainly use Plex so hopefully that would be an easy switch. Thanks for sharing!

hell yeah!

Purchased it on a Sunday & stayed up all night. Missed school on Monday & kept playing 😅😂

“Premium” pleather for $50-60, I’m sure.

Yep, it’s the same! Option key during startup is the only difference 🙋🏼‍♀️

Y’all got this! Good luck 🍀

Did this dude get VC $ by presenting The Simpsons “Who Shot Mr. Burns?” wtfff is this nonsense 🙄

Tim Pool mugshot wo that stupid fucking beanie, pls, pls, pls 😬

Ooh, interesting! Thanks for sharing! TIL 🤓

Ooh, I gotcha! LMDE doesn’t default to gnome or kde. LMDE installs w cinnamon.

Not sure I’ve seen much of lxqt. Will def give that a once over our if curiosity!

They’re both great starters, imo! Xfce or LMDE is a solid choice for Linux beginners.

Xfce was a little too minimal for me & iirc it’s canonical-based. I chose lmde specifically bc I prefer Debian. I can’t recall if I had any major issues setting up either of them. I think it also just comes down to visual/aesthetic preferences. They’re both highly customizable so either way you’re good!

I’m gonna set up xfce for my dad on an old Dell desktop & i’m sure he’ll appreciate how close it is to windows right out of the box. 📦

Great write up, but OP stated they’re not computer savvy. I’m sure more ppl have used flash drives than used VMs. They are also building a new pc so gotta get those distros from somewhere/another machine.

Another option would be to grab a couple of 4GB or more flash drives and try each one by booting from the flash drive before committing to one.

• download something like balena etcher
• download Mint, Ubuntu, PopOs, Aurora, whatever else
• use etcher to burn distros to the flash drives
• pop in the flash in new pc & have at it

Linux Mint LMDE is always my recommendation to friends & fam who are leaving Win & Mac environments. LMDE bc ease of use/install & stability.

Slight learning curve, but that goes with anything new to a person when it comes to tech. Linux Mint forums are also legit for quick answers.

Good luck regardless of what you choose! Don’t let the negative feedback get you down! 🍀
