Can someone dumb this down a little bit more?

I’m asking for a friend.

Can you bring back trophies in that Safari?

Tell them they have to find the right one. All they have to do is try a few more.

Those who attempted this are the scum of the Earth.

Great work! Hopefully this will spread.

It doesn’t matter as long as Big Oil controls policy. Can’t fucking wait for Big Solar to displace them in terms of political influence.

One easy way to see this of you are equiped for it is to drag a window around on your desktop with your refresh rate set at 60hz and then do it again at 120hz. The difference in smoothness is obvious.

She wanted something that was an easy transition from Windows without having to learn a new interface. She is competent enough to install her own OS but wants to spend what little spare time she has on the computer gaming and not troubleshooting and maintaining. So I recommended she tries a few but primarily Bazzite with KDE and she liked it.

Heck, I’m running Fedora KDE right now but if I ever had to change I’d probably pick Bazzite too. Immutable sounds great for my purposes. I have zero intentions of messing around with my kernel.

Just have a friend who finally decided switching yesterday. She picked my distro recommendation too which makes me feel all validated.

That point was never made I had to make it myself to conclude this stupid disagreement with something that made sense. Even after I did so, essentially agreeing to disagree he kept going, making it obvious he wasn’t even taking this seriously. The guy was just out trolling while accusing me of not wanting to have a “discourse”.

Seriously, you post one opinion that isn’t necessarily popular but that you believe in, someone hijacks it with an immediate downvote and some comment to twist it around to make you the “bad guy” and people just pile on the bandwagon because snarkiness seems to beat arguments in places like that. People can’t be bothered to read more than 2 lines. I thought that shit only happened on Reddit.

I’ve had aliens visit me to tell me they’ve used their unfathomably advanced technology to prove beyond any doubt that I was right and that your sources were wrong. But you’ll also have to trust me on this. Quid pro quo.

Either that or I just find that logo ugly. Pick whichever.

You’re ignoring the rest of the logo that puts it all together. Ultimately I think what makes the Debian logo particularly ugly is the “painted with a scraggly brush” effect.

Since you haven’t given me a point to counter, there ain’t much else to do. I’ll try another approach.

Let’s see your original point, if you can call it: “…strong wrong opinions…”

So you appear to say that I’m wrong to say that the Debian logo is ugly. From that we can conclude that you find it pretty. I mean, it’s fine. You could have simply argued that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and that it looks good to you. I would have respected that. Here, I’ve created an adequate retort for you. You’re welcome.

And since neither of us will ever be bothered to do an unbiased street survey on the beauty of a curled twig we will have to leave it at that.

Comes back with the same assertion as before except with added verbal frills, thinking it could pass as substance.

To be fair to Debian though I don’t think it ever was intended for being used as a desktop daily driver.

Downvotes. Calls the opinion wrong. Refuses to elaborate. Ignores the discourse going on. Complains of lack of discourse.

We agree, it is ugly. Most Linux logos are made by programmers, not graphic designers and it shows. My point still stands that Debian’s logo stands out as being particularly ugly. I don’t care about the tribal fanboys who predictably took it as a personal attack and piled on the downvotes. Every time I used Debian the first thing I did is get rid of that eyesore everywhere I could.

Also while we’re on the subject can we talk about the K shaped antlers on the KDE mascots? They just never looked like they belong there.

If there was a tier list of Linux Distro logos based purely on logo design quality, Debian would be on bottom tier. It is just an ugly logo. The top would probably be OpenSUSE.

Edit: Suck it, fragile fanboys. The logo IS ugly. The fact that we can’t even point it out without having the downvotes piling on is the reason why Debian still has that eyesore for a logo.

I mean they did switch to their own flavor of their competitor with Edge already so it wouldn’t be a first.

I just hope that is they do this they won’t gain leverage to control the development of Linux for their own purposes in some way.

That really was a missing feature because in an OLED black theme the window boundaries aren’t visible. I have fixed that problem with the Klassy theme, which I really hope KDE officially integrates or at least imitates in the future.

Also with Klassy in a dark theme if you make the window shadow white, it looks like a back glow which looks very nice.
