  • Thought id chime in. I’m in the same boat, it annoys me to no end to care about politics because I can’t help but see it as flawed all the time, I want the least to do with that as possible. I will wholly participate as much as I can if I was esctatic about the system we used, I haven’t looked too closely into other countries but will if I thought I wanted to change my residence. If leaving the US for a country with a different system was a viable option for me, that’s what I would do but I like family too much to go somewhere else.




  • I refuse to use anything that isnt arch based unless its a niche linux distribution for something specific because the arch user repository basically solves the biggest issue for newbies which is getting a grasp of packages for software. it has any of the common software and if you do need to build something from a github repo, that is ofc easy enough on any distro. I’m not the most technically inclined with linux and I use a chatgpt got thingy called code copilot in their search thing and I can use it to solve even really niche problems I have like a USB DAC not being recognized because it doesn’t have the correct read/write permissions. most of the time I just ask basic things like how to get whatever github repo working and it helps me troubleshoot if I run into weird issues. I even got it to help me set up neo-matrix to run in alacrity terminal on bootup, it was a nice introduction to scripting and autostart and stuff when it helped me, so now I have a little bit better grasp on how that all works out.
