I’m getting some real “Fallout 3 tutorial” vibes

In addition to other people’s comments, flatpaks are usually more up to date than their apt counterpart (expecially those from the debian stable repositories).
I run debian and I deliberately installed some software from flatpak (eg. Ardour and Guitarix) because the deb package is a whole version behind.

Noob

In my mind, videogames and music never feel older or younger than they are.
Last week a friend of mine was like “can you believe Kurt Cobain died 30 years ago” and my reaction was “Yes…”

THANK YOU FOR ASKING, NO IT’S NOT.

I know the name ‘Linux’ is used to identify a family of OSs, but in reality it is actually only the kernel (the part of the system that allows hardware and software to communicate)

I wish people could stop trying to teach everyone that Linux isn’t the OS

Over my dead body!

I could use flatpak to get the newest version, but could I then get rid of the pre installed old version?

Of course you can and if you decide to go down this route you should take a look at Flatseal that can help you with flatpak permissions and theming.

debian’s default graphics look also prehistoric. Can I change that installing other styles?

Debian installs Desktop Environments without any theming, just plain vanilla DEs and in most cases, expecially with XFCE, they are not that pretty out of the box. You can still theme it to look and work the way you prefer.

with debian you are asked to choose the environment: xfce, mate… how troublesome is to change those after installation?

sudo apt install new-desktop-environment, log out and log back in selecting a different desktop in the display manager: piece of cake

This doesn’t mean that xubuntu has bloatware, but simply much more pre installed packages, right?

Keep in mind that the 0.7gb debian image is the “netinstall”, which pulls software from repository instead of installing it directly. There are also debian “DVD” images that can be up to 4gb as well. And yes, Xubuntu has more bloatware but not as much as you might believe

Never felt it as judgement :)

It has shortcuts that feel a little more natural to me and the ootb theming makes files more easy to navigate.
I know you can also theme nano but I’m lazy

The first things I install on a fresh linux install are always htop (task manager) and micro (nano but better).

Too much effort is equal as no effort at all

Now we need an Arch tampon for the bleeding edge

• Me arriving at the abandoned warehouse
• Windows rolled down, Lady Gaga’s Just Dance echoing through the empty buildings
• Pull the breaks, lower the volume, sunglasses on
• “It’s Britney b1tch”
• Storm inside

In this context, I didn’t read it as “Mah-Tay”

If you have a comeback this weak in the comic YOU drew, I don’t want to imagine the amount of cringe your friends felt around you

I will never stop worshipping Primus and whatever whacky thing they do.
