- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Or just start with Ubuntu, while using a good mayonnaise for your grilled cheese.
Even better, Debian. Most peaceful distro ever.
Ubuntu is the miracle whip of distros.
I have to start looking for something a bit lighter than Ubuntu for my old Toughbook CF-30. I had Mint on an older laptop, years ago, and liked it. I'm not opposed to any flavor of Linux...I just want easy, the closest thing to issue/maintenance free, while taking full advantage or the specs I have to work with.
Can't speak a ton on the part about taking full advantage of your hardware, but Debian is THE Just Worksβ’ solution of Linux distributions. I've had not a single problem on Debian. I was on rolling-release Ubuntu (actually, it was KDE Neon) for a year after my first few weeks on Kubuntu, on which Plasma was TERRIBLY broken at the time. It used to apparently be broken on either Kubuntu or Neon at any given time, and never both, and I think it's stable enough everywhere now, but once I came to Debian, I have decided to never look back or "ahead". There's always an alternative method to achieve what you want on Debian.
