Wasn‘t there a crunchbang project putting this nicely together with debian? I remember it fondly, but that is centuries ago…

Key point: „To be secure, you should always use the latest long-term stable kernel. The key word here is “latest.” It’s not enough to use an LTS […] [or at least] Continuously update to the latest kernel release, either major or stable.“

True. I tried some other rather light-weight distros but no other gave me a comparable polished experience.

Tried it out as a last resort on an old ThinkPad … and had it running for some 5 years. This is a seriously good daily driver!

Is this a USA-thing? In Europe tips are most usually split between front and back of the house.

At least for Germany, the line lies way more to the north (and it’s rather pasta vs. potatoes).

Xubuntu - great ootb configuration, lightning fast on my old thinkpad without compromising on functionality

The AfD is nothing of anything you just mentioned. Especially in Thüringen where this clusterfuck is taking place, the AfD is as much full-on Nazi-mode as you couldn’t imagine in your wildest wet dreams about the Führer in latex underwear.

Do not tolerate the intolerant!

We should tolerate every ideology and political flavour as long as its supporters are not actively attacking or suppressing other views and especially targeting vulnerable people. The goal should be to create a welcoming place of free speech for all and this requires to eliminate those who do not support this goal or actively work against it - namely fascists (and that includes more than just the old and alt right).

Anti-fascism ist necessary action against those that claim freedom of speech but abuse it for ideological warfare with the ultimate goal of abolition of free speech.
