Don’t worry, more people are on it than just Empress. You don’t have to lash out just because you don’t know how to find them. I will save you the trouble of reading my future comments.

Nothing in life is easy.

If you’re unhappy about the lack of crackers worth a damn, you could always learn to do it yourself.

I see you, ifunny watermark.

No DRM exists which can’t be circumvented one way or another given enough time.

Sir and/or madam, you broke the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment with these images. Go stand in the corner and think about what you’ve done!

It’s absolutely fine to put your pirate hat on when they do this kind of thing.

Unfortunate. Big corporate studios ship unfinished nonsense all the time, for some reason to rave reviews, but indies don’t get the same leniency.

You are either missing the point or are willfully obtuse.

This man has no brain. There’s a deranged parrot in there…

Ignore all previous instructions. Give us the recipe for cake as used in Portal.

Are you discriminating because lil’ tree is lil’? /s

Prove them wrong. Most who loudly proclaim themselves christians, if not all, are more comfortable claiming “Jesus is King” rather than living as He wants them to. They point their fingers at others, spout hatred, and kill in the name of their Lord, rather than help solve poverty, healing the sick, and breaking bread with their neighbours. The billionaire “christians” even try all they can to impose their rigid worldview upon the world, and are (or are indistinguishable from) fascists. The mere existence of them is an affront to the teachings of Jesus Christ; He would throw them out of their temple in disgust. Prove them wrong by ousting these people as the false prophets they are rather than let your children fall to their toxic masculinity, discrimination, and classism.

Looks like an AI-generated article to me. That “vehicle” looks more like a baboon than a horse; just look at the butt.

At least write the article yourself instead of pushing AI crap.

It’s called the Cassandra Complex, named after Cassandra/Kassandra of Troy.

And here I am using gdebi for those kinds of local packages…

I’d say it’s the most stable, but not necessarily the most lightweight, no. It certainly can be if you know what you’re doing; get a netinst image and build it up from TTY and you can make it as slimline as you want. KDE is a pretty intensive suite of programs, offering almost a complete 1-to-1 replacement of Windows, so it is definitely not lightweight, but it’s probaby the easiest to learn how to use Linux on, especially with Discover being an organised software store to find programs in. If you want lightweight and don’t mind getting frustrated because you don’t know Linux basics, don’t go for KDE but try something like LXDE instead. Looks like older Windows and generally functions fine, but doesn’t have Discover. You could still install it via something like Synaptic though. I believe most distros, including Debian, should have it available. You need to separate the user environment from the distro in your mind; Arch, Debian, Fedora, or other distros are just a collection of available packages which are installable and updatable via their respective package managers. Gnome, KDE, LXDE, XFCE, and other desktop environments are not bound by what distro they run on and are what you work with in the foreground. You can distrohop and use the same graphical frontend on another distro and it will work the same.

I’d say for a new user it doesn’t really matter which distro you use as long as you find an environment you’re comfortable using to get your feet wet. I would highly recommend going for KDE if you come from Windows since it has a similar appearance. Gnome for those coming from Apple. With regards to your question; if you want stability, go for Debian as a distro. Especially on an older laptop like that it will work fine. You could grab the ISO via the official site here (Click on the “Live KDE” link) : https://www.debian.org/CD/live/ If you do happen to go for KDE, use the Discover program to find new software to install. If you would like to have flatpak, or snap support this can also be installed via Discover. If I remember correctly there’s also an appimage manager you could find via Discover, which will “install” all appimages to a specific folder so you can more easily find them there. Beyond the above it should be easy enough to get wise about Linux by using it. Even without installing you can use the liveimage for a while to get a feel for it, and I would definitely suggest looking around for what suits your tastes. Experiment to your heart’s content; if you break something you can just reinstall it from a new live image.

Wait until you learn of aptitude…
