Election denialism emerges on the left after Trump’s win
  • Yea, because it was definitely the liberals that elected Trump. Harris was not the best option, but any moron that thought not voting for her was the best option this past election, and is now pissing and moaning about Trump winning, are arguably dumber than Trump supporters.

  • Jake Paul beats Mike Tyson in manufactured mismatch as Father Time comes calling
  • Are you talking about that guy that is almost as well known for biting off Hollyfield's ear as he is for his boxing prowess losing dignity from making 20 millions dollars playing the sport that he loves regardless of the effort?

  • Elon Musk is pissing off everyone on Trump’s team
  • Yea, lots of things did happen, and most of them were bad. The people that I'm referring to that "could change" things are the republicans that could use their votes to stop tyranny, but none of them did.

    I hope that you're correct that we will see change from this, but I don't agree with you that Musk is going to fade into political irrelevance and that JD will sunset Trump.

  • Roku TVs are interference machines (rant)
  • I have an Nvidia shield for now, and run Plex on unRAID. I will be moving to a HTPC one the shield goes tits up. For the most part, I consume my media from my PC, but if I'm using the TV, it's currently my shield.

  • Elon Musk is pissing off everyone on Trump’s team
  • I'm gonna call bullshit on this. For years now, I've been reading articles just like this one, and at the end of the day, nobody that could change anything did a fucking thing. It's just posturing and means nothing.

  • *Unsolved Mysteries theme plays*
  • If God is real, then he's a fucking prick that doesn't care about humanity. If rather live in Hell with the angel that cared about me rather than stay with that hypocritical cunt running Heaven.

  • What's the most "set and forget" Linux distro that's still flexible these days?
  • Manjaro might have been my first step into Linux last year, but it was brief and I switched to Arch. It was brief enough that I didn't remember if that's what it was. Glad I made the switch, but a non GUI installation is not for most people.

    Edit: Nvm, I used Garuda. I was reminded in another comment. A good stepping stone to experience Arch and KDE.

  • What's the most "set and forget" Linux distro that's still flexible these days?
  • I hate being the, "I use Arch" guy, but it's really been a great experience for me with KDE. Minimal issues after a complicated first time setup, but it's absolutely been worth it. For anyone that's pretty decent with computers already, and can understand the documentation, I would recommend trying it out. I just converted a laptop the other day to Arch and used archinstall for the first time. It did pretty well other than a couple of small tweaks that most users would never know about in fstab relating to SSDs and LUKS encryption.

    There's a steep learning curve, but it's made me learn a lot about the Linux operating system and a lot about computers in general.

  • What's the most "set and forget" Linux distro that's still flexible these days?
  • There was another post on here about Manjaro taking about going opt out on some things that to me is a deal breaker. EndeavorOS has been mentioned a decent amount for a more user friendly Arch based distro. I can't personally speak about it, but just a little extra but for others going through here.

  • Manjaro is experimenting with **opt-out telemetry | Hacker News (More like op-out spying)
  • If I were using Manjaro right now, at the first opportunity, I would be switching to something else. Too much enshitification happening everywhere, and people need to start voting with their "wallets" to stop these greedy fucks.

  • Manjaro is experimenting with **opt-out telemetry | Hacker News (More like op-out spying)
  • Are you trying to gatekeep Linux to only power users that use a CLI, are way above the average in computer literacy, and happen to know the nuances between Linux and other operating systems?

    This is the kind of thinking that will prevent adoption to the masses. Linux doesn't have to be stupid hard to use. There are specific distros like vanilla Arch for advanced users to tinker with and options like Manjaro and Ubuntu that are ideally functional out of the box for those that just want something to work.

    What Manjaro is doing here is dumb AF, and should rightfully be heavily criticized, but you statement feels like your saying you should have to be a computer expert to use any Linux distro, and that's dumb.
