I switched to Tuxedo. It solved some weird stability issues I had, which were mostly monitor resolution and layout issues.

A group of Republicans and other conservatives that have been anti Trump since 2019.

Their stated goal was to prevent Trump from getting elected again.

I’m new to the world of Linux as a main OS, and I ran Mint for a while, wanted to try KDE Plasma, installed and ran it on mint for a while and blew away mint for a distro with KDE Plasma once I knew it’s what I wanted.

To say I had jank is an understatement.

Secretly?

The Lincoln Project goes hard every election.

I know a lot more than fuck all about Linux, but I’m also super lazy, so Mint is a good option.

I also want something that my wife finds easy. She’s now on her second week, and only one issue which she rebooted and it went away. After that, there is benefit to making mine like hers in case I ever need her to do something when I’m away and don’t have remote access.

Mint. Cinnamon for my wife. Probably the same for me, though I’m debating XFCE.

For me it is. I migrated my wife last week and mine is next week. AI spying is the last straw for me.

VMware is not on death row. VMware is already dead. It no longer exists. All that’s left is an entity possessing its corpse.

Way to deliberately misrepresent what I said.

No. But I should. Probably time to start.

You are completely discounting accidental racism. Every person at every level involved could have had no bad intentions and still have the sum total be so.

All that said, you didn’t mention the actual problem with the movie that led to the commentary… total shitty dumpster fire levels of writing.

George Lucas has always been clear that a major influence on Star Wars was old serials like Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. You know what was extremely common in those old serials? Racist stereotypes for villains and racist stereotypes for side kicks, also often cartoonish buffoons.

Again, not saying he was intentionally racist, but with the lack of quality writing skills, it’s clear he fell back to tropes from his favourite stories from his childhood. Those tropes usually horribly racist. A better writer could have done better with those tropes.

That’s why I stopped using those sites. The only reseller I buy from now is Humble Bundle, but most things I just buy direct from the Steam Store.
