  • Man here, there have been several times when I have found a thread talking about men and shitting all over all men and painting with broad strokes, claiming that we are all awful and just looking to use women.

    I feel offended at indirectly being included in a group like that, and have joined in discussions in the past to try and explain that we are not all terrible people.

    Over time however, I have learned to ignore the hate spewers and just move on.

    Personally, if I see a community where the rules are politely explaining the situation, I just block the community out of respect for the xommunity.




  • IT guy here, I mostly work with Windows, but have daily driven Linux in the past and am planning on switching back to Linux when Windows 10 goes EOL.

    Anyway, here are my thoughts.

    Ubuntu - simple to use, but has a history of doing their own thing to the detriment of the user. Currently pushing their own alternative to Flatpaks, Snaps, which is built around centralizing apps around Canonicals servers.

    Mint - similar to Ubuntu in terms of use, based on Debian, well known and seemingly working well. Good starting point for everyone.

    Fedora Linux - easy to use, more standard Linux than Ubuntu, based on Red Hat, focused more on using the latest tech when compared with Mint and Ubuntu.

    Manjaro - for the more experienced users, based on Arch, modern, but a bit more unstable than the other distributions mentioned here.

    There are other’s but few that I have actual experience with and can be called newbie friendly, so it would be unfair to add distributions I don’t have experience with.
