The last paragraph is vital. Grab a flatpak of any software you need to be more up to date. Flatpaks running on Debian are amazing. Current software running on a stable base.

That’s the least of your worries. Once it reboots, its proprietary spyware…errr…AI…will resume taking screenshots of everything you do.

I can’t wait for some new bargain Linux machines.

My coworker does graphic design, and he paid $8k for his Mac laptop.

I honestly don’t know if there’s anything I could order in a Windows/Linux laptop that would add up to $8k.

Two choices in the end game.

Ready to go out of the box? Mint.

Bare install where you pick your programs? Debian.

And then there’s the secondary question for some of us… the machine you game on?

Ready to go? Fedora, Pop, or several other choices.

Bare install where you pick your programs? Arch.

It’s definitely not as bad as people make out. That said, I only run Arch on my main machine, and Debian on the rest. Just in case, you understand.
