To be clear: there are actually Christians being persecuted or killed for being Christian, just not in the US or anywhere else in the West. The people that Trump and Nicki Minaj are talking about are in Nigeria (and I’m sure Trump would want them deported if they sought asylum in the US, of course). Trump and Nicki both suck but we can at least not make light of religious persecution in other countries, just because Christianity is more dominant here.
You’re probably right
Honest to God, I thought a “Librephone” was something that already existed. I think I was thinking of the PinePhone or smth.
20·5 months agoI’m petty enough to put stickers over mine.
Maybe SpiralLinux? It’s basically just Debian with a few twealks, but the btrfs+Snapper might come in handy if/when you need to do tech support.
NVIDIA
Welp, there’s your problem. I have an NVIDIA card as well and it’s been the source of at least 95% of my Linux headaches.
I’ve tried a few distros and Linux Mint was definitely the most “just works” for me. Make sure you’re using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, regardless of what option you choose. Currently I use SpiralLinux (Debian with a few tweaks) because I really like the BTRFS snapshots and fell in love with KDE during my distro-hopping, but Mint is what I would recommend to the vast majority of people.
Seconding (or third-ing, or twelfth-ing) the recommendation for Linux Mint, but also gonna throw one in for MX Linux if the hardware is older.
Mint is a pretty solid choice for like 95% of people. If you’re already using LibreOffice then you’re halfway there, and I’ve been able to run all the games I want through Steam or Lutris (the Flatpak versions are better for compatibility IME). A lot of people use Bottles for games as well, but I’ve never been able to get it to work properly. I think I started using Linux full-time at about the level you seem to be at, and I didn’t run into any major issues.
A slightly more positive way of putting this is “choosing the set of problems you want to deal with.” I vastly prefer the problems that Linux hands me over the problems with Windows.
