LMDE Cinnamon. Boring. Rock solid.

I installed Pop!_OS on a Thinkpad in 2020 and have been using that install as my daily driver without issue. That includes multiple LTS release upgrades. The key is to stick with LTS releases. It’s boring because you do not get the latest and greatest features, but the payoff is rock solid stability.

EDIT: As far as distros, I stick with Pop!_OS for myself, Linux Mint for my wife (we’re both IT professionals), and LMDE for my servers.

Server or workstation?

I’ve been using Linux since Red Hat Halloween. I don’t think I’ve ever customized a GUI much beyond its standard settings. My CLI though…

Any 1080ti homies here?

A truly ignorant, judgmental, and narrowminded take.

Like all things Lemmy, I’m pretty sure there were some pretty obscure NSFW stuff posted in niche communities.

I genuinely wish I could enthusiastically agree with you. I won’t go into detail but a friend with whom I have spent a lot of time naked and whose body I know very well had this done to them by one of her students (middle schoolers are the worst). I guess if you feed the AI enough pictures, from enough angles, wearing different outfits, it can vomit a fairly good guess. Excluding birthmarks on the abdomen, a small tattoo on the pubic region, and the nipples/areolas, it was REALLY fucking close.

The reason this matter is because the level of detail and accuracy differentiates this assault to things like photoshopping someone’s head on a random nude. This is much, much worse and I think I support treating it as illegally removing someone’s clothes.

Some creep could copy and paste your head on some random nude photo and jack off to that. That’s bad, but imagine that same creep (who you don’t know is a creep) takes photos of you – has you pose for photos – then takes them and “nudifies” them. They can pleasure themselves to photos of you they themselves took. That is absolutely horrifying in my opinion.

PS: My apologies if the above is triggering to anyone here, but I think it is important to not undersell this type of sexual assault.

Interface. Mint if you are coming from Windows. Pop!_OS if you are coming from MacOS. Neither is identical to the inspiration, but they each offer a smoother pathway from their respective inspirations.

This seems like something you should post in infosec communities rather than here.

Debian and Red Hat are the foundation for most of the popular distros out there.

As is ancient tradition.

Everyonehas hated Microsoft since its inception.

How is cosmic? My Pop system is my main system, so I need to be cautious.

I actually do not recommend it at the moment. They are working on their new DE (Cosmic) so the current stable release is very old.

I’m literally the opposite. I have been on Red Hat since Halloween and all servers I have ever touched have been Red Hat or a close fork of RHEL. When I decided to go Linux for my daily driver and more self hosting I went Pop!_OS on my laptop, Linux Mint for my wife, and Linux Mint Debian Edition for all my home systems.

Red Hat is for work. Debian is for life.

Seems backwards.
