I’d suggest AntiX, as it’s great for crappy hardware and a personal favourite of mine, but seeing as I chose Mint for my first distro that stayed installed more than a day, after I broke AntiX and couldn’t figure out what I even broke or how to fix it… (don’t ask who recommended that as a beginner distro to my clueless self…) yeah. Mint. Maybe go with XFCE or something rather than Cinnamon, modern DEs take up a lot of resources on an already chugging shitbox.
Fun. Reminds me of an image I found on Tumblr, from one of the Linux gimmick blogs, IIRC…
Yeah, immutables have… probably a usecase, but even as someone who Should Not Be Messing With Core System Stuff, I don’t want or need that, and can’t see an obvious usecase.
you’ll be blown away by how asinine windows is once you’ve got used to Linux.
This, absolutely. I really hate Linux sometimes. But then I have to deal with Windows, which I hate even more. It’s not that I like Linux. It’s that I like it more than Windows.
And the bear hugs. Pandas are so cute. But yeah, the food would be amazing.

That should be a tagline. As should the comment you’re replying to.
Other way around for me - got into Linux because some comrades were saying real commies use it, I was really mad at Windows that day to begin with, and I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try it out. Found out it’s… sucky in different ways, but in ways that frustrate me less and where I tend to be angry at myself for screwing something up rather than angry at a corporation for being hostile to its customers, which is something I’m angry about far too often as it is.
Tbh, not sure about the seat. The guy might be fun to start a “best distro” argue-til-blue-in-the-face-about-something-pointless with, and the wolves… if you feed them, you’ll have a pack of cute puppies who want their bellies rubbed, and I like dogs…
