I believe LMDE includes the proprietary stuff you might need and, as others have said, Debian 12 is starting to as well.

For a new user who just wants a good OS to start with, Pop_OS is a fine choice. A little surprised you had trouble with Mint identifying your WiFi card but, I see others have posted on it. Mint is typically my go-to recommendation for new Linux users.

Holy crap, how depraved do you have to be for PornHub to block you?

As I understand it, so far, the courts aren’t disputing that Trump incited an insurrection, they’re disputing if the 14th Amendment applies to the office of the President.

Well, should a Liberal incite an insurrection against the United States, that precedent should be used against them.

Maybe he hasn’t found his face yet? , or all of his donors?

Great…and what exactly does that have to do with people working overtime and not getting paid for it?

…That's OK dad…I think you misunderstood too. I was just trying to learn more about this cool game on Steam…

No, son…ya got it all wrong! I was wanted to repaint the stucco walls in the basement and wanted to be sure the latex paint would work…that's why I Googled "Latex Bondage"…

They are, indeed, irony immune…

There should be a horror spin off with Willie Wonka long gone, the Chocolate factory abandoned, and Oompa Loompas going feral. A group of young adults exploring the abandoned factory come to realize that, every time they hear the "Oopa Loompa Song", one in their group is doomed. They lyrics of the verse provide clues as to who it's going to be.

Palia is brand new (still in open Beta) It's more focused on low-key crafting/farming and community, but opportunities to socialize are there.

Guild Wars 2 is my favorite "no subscription required" MMORPG that could work for you (but you have that one).
.
ESO Online is my favorite "subscription" MMO and I've met people there.
.
FFXIV is decent for socializing but, the hard-core gamers can stress you out. Works best if you join a low key guild that doesn't want to speed-run all the duties and crap on you for not being as good as they are.
.
General rule for MMORPGs in general is, find a guild you like and hang with them.

I don't know, this person has done a lot of decent things in his life. I'm not inclined to judge him by his worst decision.

Have to agree. They had a great start by enhancing Debian and being user friendly but, then they just kind of lost their way.

Although, speaking as a fan of Mint who used it as my “daily driver” for years, I think the time has come for them to switch from Ubuntu to Debian and embrace Wayland. I know that, if I’d stayed with Mint, I’ve have gone to LMDE by now.

I believe the condition is called “Rectal Oculitus”, when your head gets stuck so far up your ass it gives you a shitty outlook. ;)

I’m not really that familiar with LTT. I did subscribe to his channel, mainly because I was bemused by him borking his PC by rushing an install of Pop_OS and Steam. (“yes, do as I say”, if you recall). Reading the PC Gamer article, it appears he did the same, “just drive on without thinking it through” approach to this prototype cooler. I haven’t watched a lot of his videos and anyone can make a mistake but, there is an expectation that a “tech expert” show a bit of diligence. Plus, if he’s showcasing a vendor, he should make sure they have every chance to shine.

…this guy is starting to look like a poser now…

“His wife” could be a…let’s say, “euphemism” for something else. In which case, that ain’t rainwater falling…
