There’s already a thousand comments, but I’ll give my opinion anyway. Debian is by far the most reliable distro I have ever used. It’s easier to install than arch in my opinion, and is completely rock solid. However, if you have at least a year experience with linux and you like tinkering, nothing beats arch. I don’t recommend using distros like pop_os, endevour os, or manjaro, simply because once you have a bit of experience, it just introduces more points of failure.

TLDR;Debian, or if you are experienced, arch.

Well, with that kind of CPU, I’d reccomend 32GB of RAM, as 16 feels a little weak for such a chip.

Well, on most distros, the live image is loaded onto ram. Thus, whenever you restart, you lose everything. You could install linux on a usb, but thats incredibly slow, in my experience. If you could detail your problem, maybe we can help you fix it, instead of applying an ineffective bandage.

That’s Microsoft for you

Repeat after me: you. Can. Swear. On. The. Internet. Nazi.

If you are using a chromium based browser, project naphta allows you to select text in images directly in the browser.

Romanian here. In surveys, it seemed like he was just another independent. It looked like another year of PNL vs PSD (natinal liberal vs social democrat).

Calin Georgescu had a lot of publicity on tiktok. I don’t use that app, so i had no idea, but the man has nearly 300000 followers on tiktok, which is enough people to go from 2nd to 1st in a country with only 9.2 million voters, and a pretty close election.

At the same time, a lot of kids (mostly 14 and over) are now begging their parents to vote for the other candidate to make if to the 2nd round of voting, Elena Lasconi. She is backed by a small party, and is more or less just a puppet, but it beats mandatory army.

The candidates from PNL and PSD, by far the two biggest parties, got angry and just quit. Marcel Ciolacu was the first presidential candidate from PSD to not reach the 2nd round of voting.

The way I see it, all the candidates this year were shit, but this asshole’s by far the worst.

It’s beautiful.

Yea but (on reddit at least)you get the option to change the icon. It doesn’t change automatically

Yeah, forgot the name

There are open source alternatives to Google photos, a good example which uses material 3 (you) is fossify photos

-2% market share?!?

Inside Out is a great example of just that. While I couldn’t find the scene, here’s an excerpt from tvtropes.com:

*Entering the Abstract Thought Chamber in Inside Out caused the characters to turn into 2D figures with increasingly less defined shapes. *

If I remember correctly, the characters actually acknowledge the shift to less detailed artstyles.

You might want to know that old spotify versions work perfectly.

Up until I switched to tidal 4 months ago, I was using a version of spotify from August 2023 to avoid all the “tiktokerry” that appeared everywhere. I tested many versions, and the point where the app stops working seems to be somewhere in 2017

It already has, years ago

I am experiencinf this. The ads are unskippable, and they replace the video until they end
