Absolutely. I am generally quite "sick" of most people who are firmly on the left or right.. but he is an exception.. 90% of his stuff at least is stuff I can support.

I am in 2023 while your sitting there in 3023

@trinsec Thats the measure of a good newletter!

@ambihelical

Yea its not even on the order of learning a new distro... its more like learning a new distro AND a new programming language.. its a significant bump.

But my god it is a game changer if you can get past that learning curve! I cant even begin to list all the nice things you get.

@cunningstuff

@georgetakei

As always thanks for bringing this stuff up, its important... Really appreciate all you do.

Three simple steps to keep up to date with your emails:

1) ignore all incomming emails
2) wait until you have at least 1000 unread emails
3) select "mark all as read"

Please follow my newletter for more tips!

@cunningstuff

That said the fact you are no longer a newbie is a testimant to those distros being good newbie distros... they did exactly what they should, give you a workable desktop and give you the chance to learn as you go.

@cunningstuff Yea those distros, as well as ubuntu and debian I'd say are all entry level distros... great place for a new linux convert to start.

@cunningstuff Debian and Ubuntu is going to be the easiest of the distros... Arch is one step more advanced, and its a noticable learning curve leap (but teaches you alot)... NixOS is a rather huge leap in learning curve over that, but also equally worth it.

@cunningstuff

NixOS has a fairly large learning curve... So that alone its not for everyone. But it is absolutely worth that effort.

That said if you want a more traditional distro that is still well done Arch is not a bad choice.

Man, turkey, plus hot pepper cheese, plus bacon with some mayo on a jalapeno cheese bagel is.... woa that was good! Not bad for a cold sandwich at home.

@ClaraListensprechen4 While there are some okish people there a lot of them are quite unbearable...

@icedquinn @pwm @jerry

This is true. But when you are an instance run by a very fervent LGBTQ member and make that a focus, and yet still get blocked by your own community, well its a red flag to say the least.

@brouhaha

Minestrone vs Maxistrone

@pwm

How so? They are even on at least one LGBTQ run block list I know of due to some of the things they have done to hurt that community.

@thatguyoverthere @jerry

Nope, but if they did address the toxicity it might give their reputation a reset.

@thatguyoverthere @jerry

I am refering to the flagship calkey server... though I'd expect, since it is run by the same people, the developer community around it is probably equally as toxic.
