I wonder what distro they use 🧐

Oh wow, that’s super interesting! TY for sharing

I’m curious which justice gets the most from the gun lobby 🔎

Bookbinder also pointed out that inundating agencies with requests can interfere with the government’s ability to function. “It’s OK to make FOIA requests,” said Bookbinder, who acknowledged that CREW has also submitted its share of requests. “But if you purposely overwhelm the system, you can both cause slower response to FOIAs … and you can gum up other government functions.”

Indeed, a government worker who processes FOIAs for a federal agency told ProPublica that the volume of requests from Heritage interfered with their ability to do their job. “Sometimes they come in at a rate of one a second,” said the worker, who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to speak to the press. The worker said they now spend a third of their work time processing requests from Heritage, including some that seek communications that mention the terms “Biden” and “mental” or “Alzheimer’s” or “dementia” or “defecate” or “poop.”

Wow this is quite an interesting read 😵‍💫 we should inundate these 3 assholes w some major spam

“It even plays Mission Impossible theme music in the background.”

Hahaha! That’s amazing 🥲

Is this the guy that simulates what a date with him would be like & they’re all AWFUL?

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

~ debian ~

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

Y’all got this! Good luck 🍀

Merrick “Half Measures” Garland 😂😂🤣🤣 great nickname!

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! 🍀

Mint LMDE is a great game and I love it so much and I love the game so much and I love it too much to not even play it anymore because I love the art style and the art style so much and I love it and I love how it is so much more than the game itself

I use mint btw
