Not to argue with you, but is that Linux Mint specifically? I never used it, and its DE looked very unprofessional to my liking. Personally, I prefer modern Gnome, but I also like KDE. Everything else looks very unfriendly to an average use

Won’t be that appealing to the general public, since the YC part would be too obvious. Right now, it’s easier to pretend it’s _hacker_ news.

I won’t be even surprised if this guy is American, you know.

I agree, and there’s plenty of political discussion here. E.g. Navalny’s death / murder was discussed wildly here, but is completely irrelevant to tech. (If this resource pretends it’s about tech.) Politics is ok, unless it’s politics

Oh, I found /active just recently. And turned out many, if not most, interesting topics are censored. While some mediocre and irrelevant things are not. However, I’m not surprised, being a long time visitor, and seeing very dang questi

I’d love to be as productive as in office. Because my productivity at home is ten times better. Nobody distracts me all the time.

I don’t understand your reasoning. Are there many countries like that? Why would Ukraine (not even Russia) mean something fishy? As if, say, the US or UK person cannot be fishy. Some super-rural place like Africa is simply irrelevant here,

I update one of my servers once a year or even longer, and it’s still doing fine with Arch.

Because?..

Same risk as any other country, huh?

Why would you stick to your desktop so much? It looks like any laptop is a better device for you right now. I’d suggest agreeing to the proposition of the kind person who offered you to ship his ThinkPad. (In this very thread.) If there’s m
