We can fight if that's the right approach but it's certainly not open source, just source available!

It's not open source (just source available) so idk if it will land in F-Droid at all tbh!

The meme is good but I refuse to read the xomments below it, I am very close to quitting Lemmy for good already and only look at my own feed and my local timeline by now because the rest is fucking disgusting!

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!

They used to have it on the normal Download page ages ago but they seem to only provide it to avoid a shitstorm tbh! :/

I am not sure what's the current state of self-hosting Signal (they never had functional documentation and even held back the server code for ages to implement their shitcoin) but a good client that's also compatible with the main server would certainly be a good base for third party servers too, possibly even without phone numbers! Is that by any chance a planned feature?

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! :)

Maybe spend some of it on a good app rather than marketing and exclusive deals, well or fire your workers and hope that accident of a game store will fix itself I guess!

Wine simulates a Windows environment to some degree, Steam is the only platform that fixed the reporting issue and that wasn't always the case ether because the system tells the game it's Windows.

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

My humor is fucking dark so I had to laugh but that one dose go a little far, it's a good joke but with that timing I certainly wouldn't make it!

They are certainly cooler than you and I can tell that from three really stupid messages, you aren't on Reddit anymore pal!

It's actually not that expensive but moderating that shit is horrible!

Trying to call everyone worthless who calls you out for your garbage takes reveals a lot about you, are you seriously going to pretend that CSGO players are all old or even adult?.. You know what, I will take your advice and just block you cuz you don't seem like someone I want to interact with again!
