    “for users that just wants to have a system that works without the need to use terminal or being afraid of destroying system files”

    Wouldn’t such users want a distro they can trust because people they trust have checked it to be safe? No Wikipedia article yet, no ratings or reviews on distrowatch. Why would a normal user trust a distro who’s 1st preview was announced less than a year ago? Shouldn’t the distro be targeting tinkers and super users, so they can give a thumbs up or down for the normal users?

    I trust Debian even tho I don’t have that much confidence in people who think GNOME is a good default UI. I dislike Ubuntu for many reasons, but lots of people vastly smarter than me have looked at their code for more than 20 years now.

    Anyone know why LibreWolf isn’t in the default Debian repositories? I trust Debian - I’m not going to add a repository to get LibreWolf.

    Until it’s available from a default Debian repo, I’ll keep going thru my list of all the garbage I have to go switch off in Settings and about:config every time I install Firefox for someone.

    If I remember correctly I had the same start: tested Knoppix, tried Mandrake for a short time, then Ubuntu which I used for several years until Gnome 3 when I switched to Xubuntu for several years, but when snap happened I tried Debian, then Mint for a while, but I’m now trying MX.







  • The 1992 Earth Summit in Rio (where the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was created) was a landmark year for the news reporting that climate change is by far the most important issue humans are facing. Widely seen news has been reporting scientists’ warnings about the existential threat of our overpopulation and fossil fuel since then, and in the last 30 years the media has been reporting on it more and more every year.

    falls onto a handful (or so) of very large corporations

    Those companies are not burning the planet for the hell of it - they do it because billions of people choose to buy their biosphere destroying products and services.

    While we should vote for Greens who’ll make laws where anyone using more than 2.1 tonnes of CO2e per person per year is jailed, instead of for people and parties who subsidize overpopulation and fossil fuel use - in the short term that usually doesn’t do anything unless a threshold is passed. Individual action (reducing our communities’ fertility rate by 2 orders of magnitude for several decades, not flying, not driving, not living in unsustainable places, …) while vanishingly small, does actually make a measurable difference.
