Mint is probably the least amount of friction coming from Windows. When you’re picking a distro you’re basically choosing a package manager and a desktop environment.
Package managers:
Apt, which is used by most debian based distros, and therefore most distros, is dependable and stable. You get older but well tested software. Pacman, used by most arch based distros, is bleeding edge but a bit unstable. You get the best and shiniest software, but sometimes it’s not quite ready for prime time. DNF, used by most RedHat adjacent distros like Fedora, is somewhere in between.
Desktop Environments:
Gnome has a kinda mac feel to it, and is the most popular. KDE Plasma is more windows looking, and has die hard fans. Cinnamon, what Linux Mint uses by default, and is imo the cleanest out of the box.
Each distro has their own defaults and repos they add to these things but high level, you’re choosing between flavors of Debian, Fedora, and Arch with those different desktop environments as a secondary choice. I’ve seen people hop from distro to distro in search of a perfect fit out of hundreds of choices, but it’s better to think about them in terms of 2 choices between 3 options each imo. For beginners, I think Cinnamon Mint has the best defaults.
Once you learn the ropes you can take full control of your desktop to suit your needs no matter which you picked. Don’t like the desktop environment? Uninstall it and install a different one (if you know what you’re doing), want the latest and greatest software on Debian? You can compile that program from source or add different repos.
I don’t love any of the desktop environments or their default software so I simply don’t use any, just a tiling window manager and an app launcher. The best thing about Linux is that if you don’t like something, you can just change it. It’s your computer after all.
The Combat Tutorial in The Witcher takes place during an attack on Kaer Morhan by a group of assassins. The Combat Tutorial in The Witcher II takes place in a formal arena gladiatorial setting. And for The Witcher III it is a non-lethal training fight against fellow witcher Vesemir.
I don’t believe it would be libelous since that was a statement put out by the Attorney General. It’s not the government’s position so much as it is the federal prosecution’s position, and from them I’d say that there is an implication that that is what is going to be argued during the trial, they’re not exactly stating it outright as established fact.
Disgusting and clearly politically motivated way to say it, to be clear, but not libelous in that sense.
Happy to have done my part in Wisconsin to elect Crawford–nice to have some good news
I canvassed and phone screened and had a hunch about the outcome for a couple weeks now; people HATE Elon, even at the places I canvassed who were clearly not gonna vote for Crawford
