  • It used to change it to look like macOS (top bar + Dock and balls for window decoration), but after setting up a new PC, I couldn’t be bothered to spend time theming only to have some icons missing or displayed weirdly

    I just use default now and couldn’t be happier to not encounter any unpleasant surprises after updates














  • Depends on user…

    If a user is ok with using terminal to install apps and is reading outputs of commands, I recommend endeavourOS, because it is very nice having yay finding any apps you need (but nvidia driver setup has to be done in terminal and you have to check, that you have the right dependencies) Edit: TIL, if you choose NVIDIA proprietary in bootmanager of EndeavourOS iSO, you are ready to go

    If user is not happy with rolling, debian would be next choice, but still not a set and forget, and apps have different ways to be installed and often you have to add sources to ATP)

    If a user want it do just work and being modern, I would point them to fedora/bazzite (damn, don’t know how to write, but the gaming first distro that is very steamOSy)

    And if a user does not at all want to anything on OS level and is therefore fine with using snaps, I would lead to Ubuntu most recent version (was positive amazed on how good it became as I had to setup one at work)

    Edit: Bonus for people who dislike terminal but still want rolling updates: openSuse Tumbleweed, you can install anything by gui, and there is a website with apps similar to the AUR where you can search apps and install them using a single click Package manager is full GUI as well. It updates itself every time you turn off your PC, what I very much like




  • That is why you vote for people that invest in a usable power grid which can store overproduced electricity in batteries (chemical, water storage lakes with pumps, pulling weight up/down etc.),

    Or just make electricity prices variable so that you can expect a ROI investing in your own battery (like charge your battery cheap or by solar and discharge it for bigger returns by night/bad weather)

    All it takes is political willpower and courage to change stuff for the better, we (humanity) are smart enough to find solutions, we just don’t have the courage, right now and do stupid things out of fear (like voting for people who claim to give security but do only more fear mongering only to sell more security measures that don’t solve any problems long term)

    Just like mayor fisk
