No it isn’t.
- Comment on Discord seeks to solve a problem that it created 1 week ago:
I disagree with this. The feature disparity is massive.
Matrix CAN be good for small communities, but as it stands, it doesn’t come anywhere close to Discord for small medium or large communities.
- Comment on Discord seeks to solve a problem that it created 1 week ago:
Matrix, as it stands, is garbage.

Mint has a common issue of destroying itself on updates. It happened again to a coworker of mine a week ago when he decided to give nix a go (we are both systems engineers/network engineers).
That and mint’s GUI elements are a thin veneer. There is still a lot of legacy garbage. It isn’t made with the premise of “this GUI needs to be rock solid”. It seems to be built upon the old tired bullshit that nix users always trot out e.g. “most users only log into x y z site and make a document once in a while” or some shit. It simply isn’t true.
Most users do a variety of things. Some may be complicated, some may not be. The reason I tell people that Zorin is the distro of choice for refugees is that Zorin understood the assignment (although there are some very specific areas where it offers too much choice to the user, but those are exceedingly minor) and realized that the GUI and UX centered around that GUI is everything. Especially when you are trying to court windows users.
It should be noted that I am quite familiar with *nix, and he is to some degree familiar with it. Another guy we work with switched to popos on a whim a little over a week ago. He said he’s really enjoying it.

This is how you bait a bot, folks.

Zorin OS is going to be the best for windows refugees. It is so far ahead in this area that it isn’t even remotely close.
I don’t know why people keep trotting out mint. Mint has far too many issues to be a serious suggestion.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 2 weeks ago:
Mint is the one everyone touts, but mint is pretty shit tbh. Check out Zorin OS. I have a funky triple display setup and it handled it like a champ. Also UX/UI on Zorin is fantastic. There is GUI for everything.
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 2 weeks ago:
UI/UX is head and shoulders above the other distros, especially mint.
Every time someone recommends mint to a new user I cringe. Mint has a ton of issues. Not the least of which the fact that it commonly completely breaks itself on an update.
But Zorin is so much better because everything has a GUI element. All settings, absolutely everything. On my bare metal Linux machine with my quite complicated setup I didn’t have to touch terminal once. It was a wonderful experience.
I did end up having to set an env var for Wayland eventually (via terminal), but I blame that on AMD graphics and sdl being stupid.
The UX provided by Zorin is so far ahead of the other distros it isn’t even a contest.

Zorin OS is the distro for windows refugees. Nothing else even comes close.

I’ve been running my own searxng instance for a while now. It is very good 99% of the time. Miles better than the garbage that google generally returns.

I’m afraid to mention my framework anywhere. The documentation leaves a lot to be desired, but it’s honestly pretty perfect for a majority of use cases.
It even supports plugins and short codes.
Super secure as well so that’s neat. I had always planned to make a post about it but the lack of thorough documentation keeps me from it.
That said, there are a zillion of frameworks out there and some of them are ridiculously cool.

I feel like calling you out because your story is obvious bs.
- Comment on Germ Blaster 5 months ago:
I’m not defending it, as it needs no defending. You are right to be defensive about your nasty ass hands though. How are you gonna wash your hands, use a blow-dryer, smell your hands and realize that they stink and come to the conclusion that the blow-dryer is the reason your hands stink.
Telling on yourself a bit here.

This is a skill issue.

Then the hand dryer is not your problem. Try using soap next time.

This has been debunked btw. Fwiw, there is a huge behind the scenes fight between big towel and big airblow.
I’m not kidding. But basically drying via air is much more hygienic in actuality.

Dunno what made you think people aren’t happy he was murdered. I’m quite pleased that he got what was coming to him. He has destroyed countless families and relationships. The only injustice is that we can’t reanimate his corpse and kill him again.
