It absolutely is. I’m not denying that.

Yes, but the game industry has faced severe layoffs the last couple years while profits soar ever higher and higher and executives get bigger boats. So it’s relevant.

The last administration didnt try to gut NSF science funding, nasa, our Healthcare, social security, or any of the other dumb crap in the reconciliation bill just passed. If you seriously think the Biden administration was bad, you didnt pay attention. My job, my colleagues jobs are on the line, my partner might lose all funding for her job, my friends are losing their jobs, PBS and NPR facing funding cuts. My grandfather, my uncle, my step father, all potentially losing their disability, social security, etc. People trying to strip us of citizenship, this shit is not normal. The fact that you are trying to equate the two administration’s is fucking disingenuous as fuck.

I’m not even gonna address your points. We are all frustrated with the state of the U.S.

My point was just that the Trump administration is not better than the alternative. We can all agree on that. If you can’t or won’t admit that, then you’re part of the problem.

No it wasn’t. That’s delusional. We’ve been slow walking toward fascism for a while, but it wasn’t just always there.

This isn’t about Gaza. We all know that the situation in Gaza is fucked, and the Biden administration wasn’t friendly to Gaza. I was pissed as hell at their response. But that doesn’t mean bringing fascism home to the U.S. is the solution.

You really think you’re the smart one in every room you’re in dont you?

No, its the boomers still. They created the news networks like Fox News, turned the internet into the cess pool that it is, and drove all of the propaganda that has turned millennial and gen X people into frothing right-wing nut jobs. Maybe in ten years, we can stop saying its the boomers. But they have single handedly been responsible for all of the shit we find ourselves in, the housing bubbles, the student loan crisis, everything. I’ll stop saying its the boomers when its no longer a problem of their generations making.

No, boomers are responsible for the mess of crap we’ve found ourselves in. That’s why people blame them for it. They voted for “i got mine, and pulled the ladders up that helped them build their wealth and education”. That’s why we blame them for shit still.

You mean you’re experience…I dont think i got you wrong at all. You don’t want to see these kinds of posts.

Thanks will take a look at those. I should ammendment it post. I do game dev with Unreal, another user pointed out that might affect the distro I choose.

What’s the point of a linux community if you cant ask these kinds of questions? A pinned post like that would get stale over time. You are free to just keep scrolling. You also didn’t answer the question…so you contributed nothing except to complain about my post.

Awesome thanks, will try out kubuntu and see how it goes!

I do a lot of game development if that makes any difference, using Unreal.

Oh, thats a solid idea! Thanks for the suggestion!

Ubuntu is a linux distro. I dont get the joke you’re trying to make.

I dont even know what SDE means, and I am an engineer who works on software. Never got a CS degree, but I took one or two programming classes in college. I definitely couldn’t tell you what an IT person does. Did look into a CS masters once and decided I had no interest whatsoever in doing algorithm development research of any kind, or any research related to compilers, or any of that junk. It was too niche for me. Anyway, dunno what the point of this comment was supposed to be. I guess what im saying is, yes, I agree, the “need to go to college” thing is overrated. We need to teach kids there are a lot of paths to take, and not all of them leave you with crushing debt.

Who knew, rehabilitation works. Write that down folks, maybe we won’t forget it this time.

Isn’t that what an mp3 players main purpose is?
