I’ve been using GrapheneOS for a couple years now, both with and without the Google compatability apps. I vastly prefer without, but I’m lucky in that my credit union’s app will function without Google.

Bring back Linux Mint KDE

Why, uh. Why was that your first thought.

“Just pretend it’s always been Linux” is a bold move. I salute 12-year-old you o7

Changed the gender. Kind a pain in the ass but totally worth it.

I’m a trans man (FTM) and while I’ve gone for the “shave head and let nature take its course” option, a lot of trans men seem to really like finasteride because it doesn’t have as many hormonal side effects as some other treatments. It’s not an at-home method but I believe you can get it from a GP/PCP, you shouldn’t need to go to a specialist. A lot of guys also seem to like minoxadil/Rogaine but you need to watch out if you have cats, because it’s really toxic to cats.

Mine is finding a picture of an animal with its rear end towards the camera, and then saying “hey, guess what?” to her and when she says “what?” I show her the picture and say “Bunny* butt!”

*or kitty, doggy, etc

Yep, I get this sometimes on apps that work just fine.

I’m currently using Linux Mint as well. I tried Garuda out and I did really like it, but the rolling release kept breaking NVIDIA.

I used Ubuntu back in the day but it sucks now. Snaps are the devil’s work.

I hate GNOME so much. To each their own but I don’t want my computer to look like an iPhone.

Halloween is a Christian holiday.

I’m just gonna drop a link to Captain Awkward’s “families” tag here, there’s like a 99% chance she’s answered a question similar enough to yours to be helpful.

I’m on the bathroom floor with my pants around my ankles

Yep, hypnogogic/hypnopompic hallucinations are extremely common and generally nothing to worry about. If they happen to you a lot, it might be a sign of a sleep disorder, but they aren’t connected to mental health issues.

Honestly, if you like Ubuntu but dislike Snaps, Linux Mint might be a better choice than Fedora if you’re not as comfortable with Linux. Mint is basically “Ubuntu without all Canonical’s garbage.”

Not “cheating” per se, but still bad.

Linux Lite. Trying to pare down Ubuntu is a fool’s errand, and they still use snaps.

I use SpiralLinux on my old Inspiron but it’s basically just Debian with some user-friendly tweaks. I guess you could try Tiny Core or Porteus or something really small like that.

Oh they’re not as dumb as the rest of us, that’s the scary thing. They’re even dumber.
