How does it fare compared with the standard Mint?

I've been considering try it but because of the focus on Cinamon I keep delaying it.

Because real dogs refuse the job.

That had Monthy Python vibes.

Memes come and go too fast for that.

This is what I call a master class on starting a soft revolution: you take over a symbol of the opposite ideology, in the most outrageous and ridiculous way, make it known to all, and completely subvert it and deconstruct it, piece by piece, until it stops making any sense to its former self.

Somebody help get my ideas straight on this one, please.

To my knowledge, Bing and Google search engine are the default options available out there, to the point other search services relay service from those, give or take a few tweaks (DuckDuckGo, Startpage, etc).

Now lets remove those from the picture and what is left?

I read a post yesterday announcing Ecosia amd Qwant were joining efforts to build a fully european search engine (hopefully, yes, but I'm not holding my breath on it). Maybe that is an option. But what else?

At some point it just makes more sense to run emulators, like it is already done with the classic gaming consoles.

Ideally, we would get a push to release source after a given time, in order to have true conservation efforts.

7 Kingdoms had its source released and was almost instantly ported to run natively on Linux. And from someone who played that game as a teen and truly enjoyed it, I admit it's not that much of a game! There are thousands of titles that deserve this attention.

Off the top of my head I can think of:

  • Black&White
  • The Punisher (this title was even censored due to graphical content)
  • the original Starcraft and Warcraft
  • Pharaoh
  • Anno 1602 (I am aware a FOSS "clone" exists)
  • Evolva
  • Syndicate

I could go on forever...

Just trying to (more or less) clearly state, that although not being american, I am aware things are getting very bad over there and have the potential to get even worst, but I hope the people realize it in time to do something to turn it around.

 

Besides Libre Office, what other programs/solutions exist in the Linux world for writers?

(Please, don't suggest VIM. After all the memes and comments I've read, I've come to dread it).

I like writing but the standard Writer tends to send me in a constant formatting spree.

I want to get back to writing regularly and something that could help me stay focused and somewhat organized would be nice.

As I'm about to start renewing and expanding the computer fleet in my house I decided I want to have a machine solely for my personal use, where I can use some solutions no one else will feel comfortable with in the house.

I've been wanting to try window managers for a while but after researching on it for a bit I'm none the wiser on which to choose.

There are a few distros out there that already deliver this kind of experience but I want to use the opportunity to learn and start from a stock Debian and build from there to where I want to get to.

I'm fully capable of setting up my computers as is but I'm aware WMs require a bit more involvement, so having at least good documentation is a must.

I'm also not averse to learn some coding, even more when considering I want to have a fully costumized conky, but I've never coded before.

The machine will be used essentially for writing, web surfing and email and, if possible, running Stardew Valley.

Any advice will be welcome.

Thanks in advance.
