Have you looked into Mint?

The linux mint forums make it seem like it works out of the box. I know that it worked out of the box for my Thinkpad x380, even the touchscreen, pen, and screen rotation.

by “client” do you mean “just use a browser”?

you missed the “!”, so browsers parse that as an email address

Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.

x380 for the 2 in 1 gimmick!

Mint doesn’t ask for you to pay

It was more of a “dating site” situation, compared to a “dating app” one.

The dating sites generally showed at least something of a profile at the same time as the picture(s), so it wasn’t 100% based on looks.

Grindr, growlr, and scruff were good for one thing, and (basically) everyone on them knew what the deal was.

You may be looking for a “dock” instead of a “panel”.

Plank is a popular/common one, I do not have any recommendations for you though

If you look up “invisible settler” you’ll see that this is a common bug.

I agree that it’s not the year of the linux desktop, and that people who think it is are very naive, but you don’t need to tell anyone to use the terminal for anything for many distros.

yeah, not sticking my dick in anyone who doesn’t look like a bear

There are some that were wrong to begin with, I remember 622 bothering me.

But it could also just be that in the comic, the professor is wrong.

Oh boy.
Another way for people to repost from reddit.

I assume you are joking, but in case you are not, the bonesaw they are talking about is the crown prince of Saudi Arabia:

As a general rule for Linux; Yes, Nvidia hates linux, and the drivers cause issues in a lot of cases.

But Pop! has specifically worded to try to deal with Nvidia, so it might be smooth sailing, depending on which card you have.

As long as you don’t have an Nvidia card, choose whichever functional and complete distro (some people call these “beginner” distros).

MintLinux and Pop!OS are normally the two front-runners for new users. Basically, if you use Steam and you don’t play online-only games with bad implementations of anti-cheat software, you are good to game on either.

Make a USB that you can “live boot” from, so you can test out how they work with your hardware before you actually install the OS. Generally speaking, Mint works better with AMD, and Pop! works better with Nvidia.

Here’s the official basic guide for Mint:

And here’s the official basic guide for Pop!:

I didn’t see where the author brought up gender in this article.

It’s only a general rule. In my experience, Nvidia has kinda been all over the place on how Linux-friendly they are. Do a couple searches on the exact card you have, you might be lucky.

I hope you have fun with finding what works best for you and your hardware!

I think LFS means you also need to build the stove.
