I never particularly cared for the Unity desktop. The first few times I tried it, there were hardware incompatibilities, slow performance, and crashing. Gnome3 is a complicated mess. I prefer to keep it simple. XFCE is fine for me.

I keep trying other distros, and then coming back to Debian unstable XFCE. Linux Mint Debian Edition is ok. At work I did lots of Enterprise Redhat, but I’m glad I don’t have to use it after I retired.

ChromeOS is a totally locked down distro of Linux. I prefer Debian Linux with an XFCE desktop thank you.

Chrome, and it’s relatives like Edge, are no longer an option, so I use Firefox.

I do prefer to use a headphone jack when my phone is the source of music for my amplified sound system and large room speakers.

Do these numbers include kbin?

Ubuntu is massively overrated. It’s a bloated distro owned by a greedy corporation.

As others have said, most people don’t install operating systems. They just buy a system, likely a laptop and run whatever OS is on it. Hardly any laptops come with Linux preinstalled unless you look pretty hard, or are searching specifically for one.

I remember installing a very very early release of Debian back in the mid 90s on a 486. I have had a Debian system of some sort ever since then.

I think it has nothing to do with children. It is about requiring ID registration for online services so that identities can be tracked. Every time authoritarians want to push another mechanism of control it’s always “about the children”.

I prefer Debian.

Stress causes the body to release high levels of cortisol, which can have various harmful effects throughout the body if at high levels persistently. For example, I have Central Serous Retinopathy due to high cortisol, and have been advised by my Ophthalmologist to reduce my level of stress.

I have always preferred Debian unstable with an XFCE desktop.

Pure P2P doesn’t scale well, especially for content which is generated by a few, and watched by many.
