@distrowatch @kde You don't need PLM to have a "pure KDE" system though, you can just use SDDM, which Plasma has been using forever.

@esm this is sick, literally today I was looking for a breeze wine theme and was sad to see there wasn't really anything out there

@ezra when I first installed linux mint about a year ago, i experienced this. firefox was stuttering like crazy. i scoured the forums, i scoured reddit, I asked... why is it lagging?? "did you enable video acceleration" "did you enable graphics acceleration"... nothing fixed it. flatpak, native deb version, nothing worked.

then I installed endeavourOS. That fixed it. i use fedora now, firefox still works fine there. to this day, i still have zero clue why firefox specifically was so bad on mint.

and whenever someone recommends mint to a newcomer, I always roll my eyes because trying to fix that issue was 100x more complicated than the other options.

@ipg i can't believe microsoft went from one of the leanest and fastest versions of windows to that bloated slop that was windows 10.. and now all of these "pc master race" fucks on reddit act like windows 10 was the greatest windows of all time.

@driftini this has got to be the lowest moment in Apple's slow enshittification arc that has been happening the last couple of years. Also can we talk about how gauche and ugly that statue is. Steve Jobs would have never allowed that shit to happen

@esm facebook marketplace has been ruined by the scourge that is "I know what I got". people will list a 2008 dell inspiron laptop with a fucking celeron, throw linux mint xfce on it, and be like "yeah its $100 perfect for browsing the web"... like sure bro

the only good deal I've seen on fb marketplace was a powermac g4 cube with matching studio crt for $100 and unfortunately I was COMPLETELY broke at the time. :(
