It's fine. There's still some quirks with Wayland I don't like. Either having to be in a game or have Discord focused in order for push to talk to work for example. Some mouse constraint issues with certain games that for whatever reason KDE has been able to figure out but every other wayland compositor hasn't.
I had a Blackberry Curve in like 2012 when everyone was using iphone and android and I loved that damn thing. Other than the Nokia Lumia it was the best phone I ever had.
I don't even use a login manager on my nixos plasma 6 build. I just don't see a point/need for them when I can just login and start plasma via the tty just fine. And in many cases if you have multiple DE's and WM's installed like I do it's actually better/easier to NOT have a login manager/display manager.
the guy lost his mother due to their hoarding, hygiene, and health issues. the guy recently also lost his father to health issues/cancer. You'd think it would be a wake up call for him to start getting his shit together but it won't.
I guarantee you he's going to get health issues because of his teeth. His gums have rotted away and routinely bleed (he wipes the blood from his gums on his bedroom wall btw). His home is infested with rats, cockroaches and god knows what else that I'm honestly surprised he hasn't been bitten by a rat yet while he's sleeping. The guy is so repulsed by water that I'm surprised he doesn't have rabies. He can't even drink it because he finds it gross. He won't eat any fruit and vegetables for the same reason, they're gross.
All he eats is junk food and fast food and he's as thin as a rake. his gums are rotted. I'd be curious to know what his index and middle fingers look like at this point...
Years ago when I still worked for companies as an employee my team had this PM that was so desperate to get things done and get them done early. I mean he was a nice guy but always pushing. The thing is though my team was pretty damn solid and we got stuff done early, all working, tests passed, all that cause we liked to play battlefield 3 and eve online together when we had the free time. Course we never told the PM this. Also the PM liked to motivate us with food if we worked late to get stuff finished. So we used this to our advantage and once or twice a week we allowed the PM to buy us dinner and beer/snacks because we told him we'd be working late to ensure deadlines were met. When in reality we'd just be in the office playing eve online together and wanted food and beer while we did so.
I don't feel bad for the project manager, he came from money, he constantly told everyone he came from money, so we took his money.
Go with Fedora KDE. it'll be the most polished DE and a good starting off point for transitioning from Windows. Mint is fine but there can be issues. Ubuntu is a headache especially when it comes to updates and upgrades (experienced it on my server this past weekend) and their sneaky "we'll install a snap instead" approach to some things I just don't like.
Fedora is easy and a good middle ground to get them into Linux. Also since you already use Fedora it will be an easy transition for both of you since you can provide first hand support.
as others have stated, Friendica. The issue is finding a stable working instance. I was on Friendica.world but doesn't work anymore as far as I can tell.
I support artists more than the pennies spotify pays them. Artists I like I'll buy their merch, go to their shows, etc. They make more off that anyways.
"slightly heavier"? wouldn't that actually make it the heaviest? I mean hell the Omarchy dotfiles clock in at like 8 gigs and I thought that was a lot but 35gig download? good lord.
meh knowing Snoop I'd take what he says with a grain of salt and see what sponsorships/deals he has coming up and if any are potentially backed or support the LGBTQ+ community
the mans opinions change based on where the cheques come from. If he did make this change in thought without any financial basis then good for him.
There's anther thread on here about linux for new people and suggestions regarding that. A lot of people in that thread just didn't get it. They were talking about learning the terminal, learning how to CD, installing stuff via the terminal etc and I'm like "your average user isn't going to do that"
Hell most average Window users today don't even download an exe and go through the install process. I know some that have never even opened file explorer. They have apps that get those files or pictures or whatever in the default directories for them.
so telling a user like that to open a terminal emu and type in "sudo apt install firefox" and to remember to "upgrade and update" is beyond them. like WAY beyond them.
So yes in that regard your'e right, Zorin would be the way to go. just have somewhere to download their apps/programs in an easy to understand and clean GUI.
