  • I think it’s just a really good Windows-like. It uses a modified GNOME that looks pretty good. Though as a KDE fangirl, I probably wouldn’t be able to see it as anything other than GNOME. (◕દ◕)

    It’s based on Ubuntu, so I’m sure support is good and breakage is infrequent.

    It also looks like you can pay $50 and get access to the pro version, which can mimic any of the major desktops and also lets you use their exclusive creative suite. If that’s any good, it’s no wonder people are flocking to it. Linux is still kinda mid for creatives.

    Kinda seems like the new Mint, not that Mint is going anywhere.




  • Some people are enthusiasts that want to take the training wheels off and challenge themselves. I use CachyOS, which is Arch-based, because it thrashes everything else almost every time in speed tests. Thus far, it hasn’t proven to be more complicated than the Debian-based distros I’ve used. I also wasn’t expecting better features in Arch with certain programs. Being able to get the absolute newest version of a package at all times has proven to be much more useful to me than detrimental.


  • Dude, nothing about the US school system makes sense. Here’s some bullet points from my time there:

    1. Due to a health initiative by Michelle Obama, cafeteria food had to be low-fat, low-sugar, and low-sodium… but most of it was still processed carbohydrates.

    2. This policy extended to vending machines. The snacks all had to be healthy. So we had fruit vending machines, right? Wrong. Reduced Fat Doritos and Powerade Zero.

    3. Collective punishment.

    4. Teachers bullying students. Like, directly saying they would end up nowhere in life.

    5. “monitored” official school dances that smelled like a distillery and looked like a clothed orgy.

    6. Scare-tactic Sex Education. Abstinence-only sex ed had gone by the wayside, so instead they showed us a bunch of pictures of extreme STD cases and said the only way to prevent that for sure is to abstain. Which is totally different, right?

    7. Wellness classes where we’d go bowling and stuff our faces with fried food weekly.
