I can't believe we're turning this place into lolcor

If you think about it, we are just putting some stricter rules. Not only everyone posting is a female miner, every topic discussed in this thread will all be revolving about what females experience on planet Earth and beyond, and everything about things related to the female gender

>>288151
it was originally meant to be a less cow focused alternative anyway.

This thread was retarded and unnecessary back then and it still is now. Pretentious ass thread

I'm installing Fedora Linux because I miss gnome and the Linux Mint devs don't ship proper desktop enviroments.

I think a lot of childfree heavily dislike kids cuz of their own childhood neglect and wanting to be cherished like the kids are

>>288200
no one's forcing you to you post in it

>>288287
I don't hate kids but I dislike them because they're annoying and many are feral nowadays due to their parents not doing their job properly. I live next door to a family of 3 and downstairs from a family with a newborn. It's free birth control.

I still need to make a backup from my Manjaro install that fucked itself somehow, funny you should say because I'm thinking of installing Fedora instead. I would be using KDE though because I swear by it

>>288343
Manjaro always fucks itself up, due to how updates work. Honestly, Fedora is plenty updated, to the point where it breaks from time to time (not as much as arch-based distros, of course.) I wanted something slower, like mint, but every DE they ship is ugly as sin. I think if you like KDE, you'd be fine using OpenSUSE, I heard it's nice. I've seen people complain about the KDE spin fedora has. Honestly, I haven't tried either, but I do know fedora makes a really polished Gnome and a "meh" anything else.

Nope, I like tutoring and working with them and love my younger cousins but I have no interest in being apart of a family again.

I think this whole site should pass the bechdel test. That's why they have the pinned thread with containment zones. I'd honestly love if they took it a step further

I had a job interview, and they flat out refused to interview me because they sent me the wrong time. I took time off of work to go to the interview. I'm actually not that upset about it, but I'm definitely not going to interview with them again! Why would I take more time off my first job?? Anyway, I got a bad feeling about the place before that, but…

I guess it was good luck.

>>288572
Sometimes I've heard about companies doing this on purpose to either see how much you want the job or to find out if you're already employed. Either way it's unprofessional and a giant red flag. I guess at least you have the day off now?>

>288200
Why does this threads existence offend you? I genuinely don't get why.

>>288421
I've been using Debian for a long time after first starting out with Fedora, although recently I switched to VanillaOS (which is based on Debian now, btw)

If what you're looking for is stability, you simply can't go wrong with Debian

>>288421
I use Arch on my main desktop and it's honestly not that bad.

>>288646
I'm looking for good Gnome, I don't care about stability. Honestly, I can't get behind debian, I'd rather get something "ready to use". Fedora requires some thinkering, but Debian is just ridiculous to me.

i'm not surprised we didn't have our comeback today

not really,just ot maybe

What's a good Linux distro for someone that's never used it before?
I'm moderately computer literate and mostly use my PC for web browsing, vidya, and occasionally programming

>>289448
I tried Ubuntu for a while a few years ago. I hope you can manage cuz mine couldn't play videos and the guides they write for Linux users assume you're a computer nerd when I despise computers.

Does anyone here likes birdwatching?

>>301194
Not rly but there’s a nonni that likes talking about cows maybe you can link

OpenSUSE.
+ Well supported, well maintained, large corporate base - you don't want to start out on a distro that isn't used by professionals in the workplace, and SUSE is the oldest Linux corporation in the world.
+ YAST is the closest you're going to get to an equivalent to Mac OS Preferences or the Windows Control Center in a graphical Linux environment, and it runs and can be used to manage your software in text mode through a terminal/TTY login in the event that something goes catastrophically wrong with the graphics environment without requiring you to learn every name for every controls command or kernel module. So if you can only start in textonly safemode and need to connect to the internet you can just enter yast, follow a few simple menus to get to networking controls, and enable networking in order to download whatever is necessary to fix the system.
+ easy install
+ Lizard mascot
+ RPMs
+ huge library of games in repo - people use the suse build services even if they don't use sue itself.
+ an officially supported distro for NVIDIA and other large manufacturers who make Linux drivers.
+ an actually useful wiki that describes problems that real people have in real life with real examples and solutions.
+ officially supports an ARM/embedded variant, will not die if/when x86 desktop loses ground to newer or different technology.

Negatives:
- German. (This used to make the distro nearly unusable due to their Erlangen.DE repo servers lacking a North American mirror–they have mirrors now and had them for years but the reputation is still impacted).
- Poor audio support on ARM devices, if you're running a raspberry pi just use raspian.
- NVidia driver updates may be more error prone than on other RPM distros, esp. Fedora. I've specifically had to re-enable audio over HDMI in the nvidia module rules textfile for a television connection after driver updates and that's a bit ridiculous. But I don't think hardware setups like that are common.
- SUSE Tumbleweed is the only major distro that actually pushed the legendary XZ Utils Backdoor patch into userspace before it was caught.
- Made for desktop users and for servers, not laptops or embedded devices. Optimus laptops probably still have problems with sleeping.
