That’s already happening in the billions (a lot of it from the Corona help payments) but they are still here. Hungary continues to work against EU policies and interests and isn’t even a proper democracy anymore, we need a way to kick them out and keep it that way at least till the facist shit Orban is no more!

I am honestly not sure what he will do but let’s hope we get a great show out of it I guess!

You mean shit on!

Do it, do it, dot it!

Well, he reguses to pay tons of open bills for months so I wouldn’t even be especially surprised tbh!

And a somewhat calculating buisiness man, I have far higher hopes for little Elon in this case!

DO IT!!!

Let’s hope they can pull it off soon, XFCE really surprised me with the speed at which they transition but it’s a huge project for any DE and we are slowly getting to a point where it’s actually neccecary!

As a Gnome user I approve of this comment, some more colors would be awesome, especially if they are standartized through xdg!

When I switched from Windows definitely Cinnamon but by now it’s Gnome, it’s a little odd at first but I absolutely love the workflow!

As a Gnome user, a expansion of that background apps think that properly replaces Appindicators!

Surprise surprise!

I am not in favor of executions but there are some higher ups and lobbyists that really get me to doubt that position!

I will probably end up using Matrix but they really have to leave the UK before those facist shits force them to implement a backdoor!

I am sure they will only use it against Pedos and Terrorists! ;)

If you read this do me a favor and report scum like that, it’s actually rather effective to do so with federated moderation and important!

The terminal is fantastic once you roughly understand what the commands you execute do but that requires a bit of experience and it’s great to have GUI tools for certain things. Modern Linux usually covers everything a normal user should need with GUI tools but there are always edge cases where you have to do something more advanced and I feel like especially those are tough to do in a terminal for new users which is why I appreciate Mint so much! It’s been quite a few years since I switched so many things are different by now but I moved back to Windows two times myself from Kubuntu and Manjaro before I discovered Mint so I never get tired to recommend it. Good luck on your journey! ;)

It’s a fantastic distro to get started, I think the main advantage are various GUI tools for more advanced things that other distros usually require the Terminal for which can be a bit scarry at first. Elementary looks a lot more like MacOS and might be a little more familiar at first while Mint has a fairly similar layout to traditional Windows (7/10), keep in mind that nether of them is a copy tho and you will run into differences. I do think that Mint is the best beginner Distro because of those GUI tools but it can’t hurt to try both, almost all Linux distros have live boot to play with them from a USB stick first so you won’t have to actually install anything to check them out. In case you go for Mint make sure to pay attention to the welcome screen once you installed it, that guides you through a lot of stuff like configuring automatic backups and the driver manager to download potentialky missing drivers!

As someone who got started with Linux using Mint too years ago I think you got a great selection there and I wouldn’tup listen too much to the comments, big oarts of the Linux crowd on Lemmy came from Lemmy and it’s toxic and shitty so they will tell you you are wrong no matter what you do or say and recommend terribble things to newcomers! Just flash Mint Cinnamon or Elementary on a USB stick, boot them up and play around with both before you decide which you want to install. I am a Fedora Gnome user myself and as someone who probably values simplicity (mac user) Gnome could be interesting to check out too but it’s very different to anything else out there and you already got two great options to try there! :)

Jokes aside, they/them is fucking convinient and I use it all the time in english, I wish German had a equivalent!
