Great summary bot, as ever. But missed this absolute gem from the comments:
“Thanks for helping me wardrive and steal the WiFi from that dentist, Larry.”

with debian you are asked to choose the environment: xfce, mate… how troublesome is to change those after installation?
I just install whichever ones look interesting, and pick the one I want to use, today, from the drop down, on the login screen.
Yeah. I finally switched and learned that what I loved about Ubuntu exists in Debian, without the extra nonsense.
My reaction to this delightful update:
I got through some of it then life got busy. It was a good and interesting experiences. I didn’t finish with a fully functional hand crafted artisinal home desktop, though.
Basically any mainstream Linux distro is easy enough for a child, today.
For kids who can read tell them to press that ‘Windows’ key, and start typing what they’re looking for.
For younger kids, place appropriate icons on their desktop.
I do my parental controls at the network level (PiHole, etc), so I haven’t looked much into parental controls on the Linux host, itself.
I have started to favor PopOS, because it is familiar, because it looks a lot like SteamOs, what their SteamDeck runs, when they reboot into desktop mode, in order to mod their Minecraft.
I can confirm. My little ones have been running Linux for years.
I see that you’re trying to bait us, but the Cult of Debian doesn’t talk about the Cult of Debian.
Wait, I didn’t mean to-
Agreed in principle, but in practice, I find it’s rarely a problem.
While editing, we pick an export tool for all editors and stick to it.
Once the document is stable, we export it to HTML or PDF and it’ll be stable forever.
We’ll pull out and you guys will be completely fucked. Have fun!"
Don’t threaten me with a good time! /s :)
That’s pretty unfair. Before Valve’s efforts, the first thing we PC gamers asked eachother about a new game was always “could you get it running?”
Three bad old days were quite bad, and they started getting better in lock step with Valve’s improvements to Steam.
Correlation/causation and all that. But for a lot of us Valve earned a lot of goodwill simply by allowing “request a refund” on games that run poorly. (Edit: which was apparently forced on Valve by a government. Valve got lucky there!)
I hope I’m rocking that hard at 84.
My next non-alcohol bubbly drink will be in your honor, Larry.
