Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their “compressing the kill cycle” project. Here’s the file they don’t want you to read: web.archive.org/web/20260402… p.s. if you work at Red Hat and have inside info on what’s going on, my Signal is “@legoktm.12345” - happy to protect you.
Disgusting. For those unaware, IBM has acquired Red Hat a few years back (they are heavily involved in Linux development and related technologies). “Technology is apolitical” bros can bite me.
I’m not a Linux newbie, but I do hate having to compile and install and generally “be a tech guy” about my casual gaming and writing computer.
So I just use Linux Mint. I know, I know: it’s Debian, you’ve probably got many Linux User thoughts about it. But several folks were like “what will I suggest to the normie’s now?” Mint. Get them on Mint, it’s easy, well supported, and rarely gives me trouble.
Plus, they’re not doing war crimes (that I know of!)
I have mixed successes with Mint but when it works and when it’s on well supported hardware it is a nice convenient distro. I hesitate to suggest it because I’ve recommended it to people who had a horrible time with it.
It’s so hard to recommend distros.
Mint is good. I feel like the attitude of pressuring people into the less accessible versions (Mint -> Debian, Manjaro -> Arch) has become less of a thing with the ubiquity of SteamOS.
Mint is good. It has good defaults for normies.
