the usa continuously invade other countries and bullshit about them too, they have been doing it for decades. why would anyone believe them about anything?

You will have a better time with an all amd system (amd cpu’s are just currently better, and amd gpu’s are more linux friendly)

Every game that I played on windows, I can also play on linux

Build your pc with at least 2 drives, with 1 drive ideally just for the operating system. Not the end of the world if you cannot afford that, but it does make things easier long term, the same applies to windows installs.

Ignore anyone who tells you to use mint as your distro, they are either trolling you, or trolling themselves, it’s trash.

Don’t expect to find the distro that suits you straight away.

Don’t judge all of linux based on the choices you initially make.

Don’t listen to trashtubers like linus

If you are coming from windows, the desktop environment ‘kde plasma’ should be your first choice (as opposed to gnome, xfce, cinnamon etc etc)

I don’t see any of those 3 as good, or even decent choices. I distrohopped initially, and did it again recently out of interest. Most people will just go off of searches, forum posts, and trashtubers though, which may lead them to believe that linux is crap due to ending up with crappy distros, and/or de’s

The variety of options are a pro, and a con, as are of course the opinions

It’s an odd (verbose/rambling) read, there is a lot hidden in the detail behind the plethora of choices

When you are first looking into linux, ubuntu still comes up a lot though, as does mint, and pop.

Don’t be daft

When getting into linux it was easy to remove ubuntu from the list due to them being like this.

Fedora considering ai earlier this year, and now debian talking about maybe slopping it too, is starting to creep me out even more about the future.

they will be in mcdonalds sappy meals soon enough

There was a recent story about a large retailer (Kmart) in Australia selling out of a cheaper brand (Anko) of pervert glasses

I read 1, 7, and 8, as they appeared to be the options not just saying ‘ai yay’. I stopped reading each of those options when they appeared to turn into contrary bullshit. I very briefly scanned some of the other options.

None of them appeared to prohibit the inclusion of ai. The verbosity comes across as deliberate, rather than informative to me, knowing how much people scan these days.

I have debian installed on my 2 pc’s, but do not actively use it, and this would be my first insight/interaction with the people behind it, and the ‘community’. If this poll is the 1st step in the process, I have to question why the 1st step was not simply ai: yes, or no. With a result of yes = empty partitions where I used to have debian.

Is that a real question, or do you use ai?

They appear deliberately vague and misleading

The 1st round should be yes, or no.

Choice A in the developer poll still allows for ai

"It does not include:

Upstream projects using LLMs for development
AI-related software
Upstream patches/security fixes etc."

I’m not going, but I believe musk has room for more passengers, op sounds like they may already have the armband and the moustache.

shaddowbanning is pathetic and lazy.

It is illegal in Australia as well, where anti-israel/anti-zionism/anti-genocide has been remarketed as anti-semitism.

Potential 2 year prison sentence for saying ‘from the river to the sea’ in one of the Australian states.
