Is anyone having security issues without this patch?

I always hated the concept of PPAs and it's a major reason why I never use Debian-based distros for my PC.

The AUR is just too valuable.

For the uninitiated, bazzite isn't really a battle-tested distro or a mainstream one. I just started hearing about it within the past few months.

It kind of came out of nowhere and looks to be getting shilled hard, similar to mx linux. The amount of shilling you may see for it does not correspond with usage among the community at all.

Be careful what you install on your computers, guys.

I think Mint is great for beginners and advances users alike.

If you're feeling more confident, you could try Debian. Debian will have older software and be harder to setup, but you'll get a better feel for the Linux ecosystem by using it over Mint.

Manjaro is for practical usage. You'll have more up-to-date software and access to a massive user repository of install scripts for anything that isn't in the official software repositories.

Your choice of Desktop Environment will have a big impact on how you use your computer. I recommend KDE for those coming from Windows. With a small amount of configuration, you can have it set up like a traditional desktop environment with the start menu on the left, show desktop on the right, notifications towards the right, etc.

KDE has a lot of stuff, but you can only choose what you need and you'll notice it's great at being a basic DE even though it's capable of more.

Odds are because there isn't one.

Abusers will always try to justify their abuse by saying their victims "don't understand" why it's "necessary."

Use-case?

Just like prices ending in .99, a significant amount of useful idiots are going to look at the word “lost” and assume it means killed.

Great stuff. I find leading by example is the best way to go.

Refusing to buy things in front of your peers is very effective from what I've noticed.

The thing is, for the war it doesn’t really have much meaning whether the loss is through death or a serious wound.

Not true. A soldier that's killed isn't going back home to his family. He'll never have kids. He'll never contribute to the economy ever again.

Trying to say kills don't matter in a war is removed.

"Russia suffered x casualties in y time."

Just like prices ending in .99, a significant amount of useful idiots are going to look at the word "lost" and assume it means killed.

That's how propaganda works and it shouldn't have to be spelled out for you.
