The Quuuuuill

at least 15 years lol

speak for yourself. if it’s pretty bare, it just moved to the top of my list

not really what we upset about but okay

be patient. read thoroughly. be open to a learning experience

i think it has more to do with dialect than anything. i speak appalachian dialect so sometimes i’ll use an archaic word. the irony is she usually figures it out faster than most other english speakers since our archaics are largely eastern european in origin, but to her in that moment it feels like “oh, i don’t know what this native english speaker is saying, i guess english is still a skill i’m working on”

i always am like “oh no, i talk funny” but it’s been happening more as she’s become closer friends with me and my fiance and we all talk on metaphysics and shit

my ukrainian coworker always apologizes for her bad english. meanwhile she can, and does, write poetry in all four languages she speaks

i mean idk, i was just asking about what that other poster was saying. i fuckin’ hate ubuntu for other reasons and i generally don’t speak on it in the negative or positive in threads like this. i only chimed in because what was being said struck me as odd. “it’s the most user friendly distro there is, it just breaks a lot”

it made me wonder what user friendly meant to this other user. i wanted to hear their perspective because i thought i could learn something, especially as i help my mom, an inexperienced linux user, use linux on an old laptop for the first time

is it user friendly if it’s so prone to breakage?

mint is probably where you want to be. if you have performance issues with mint, consider MX Linux, AntiX, and EndeavourOS, in that order.

Welcome to realizing the Memes are all bullshit and its just a solid distro that’s worth using for the simpleness. Just go use your computer like the average user is and roll with it

Github has the most visibility, codeberg has the best community features for stripping away some of Microsoft’s hegemony over open source, and gitlab is flat and simple the nicest one to use
