  • Lead Paint Girl and Asbestos Boy were just here!

    “Lead Paint Girl” ?!? You can’t call someone that! Lead is heavy and causes mental retardation (I’m sorry if that word offends you, it’s the literal translation of the diagnosis in my language)… Anyway, calling people “lead paint person” indicates that they’re both heavy and idiots.

    So with no further ado, let me introduce to you, the next president of the United States of America:

    Donald “The Lead Paint President” Trump

    It could be abbreviated as LPP. Alternative uses of the abbreviation, could revolve around pronouncing the letters PP, and substituting the L with words like “Little”, “Leaky” or “Leprous”. Finding better words starting with L may be a fun game to play with your friends, when you’re hiding in the hidden part of your basement, while armed right wing nut jobs go hunting for libs in the 2028 election.






  • The short rant:

    1. You don’t need to ask which distro, ask which mint version
    2. The answer to #1 is MATE or xfce.

    The longer rant:

    I’ve been using xubuntu a bit, for guest OS in desktop VM, but I don’t really know if I like it enough to recommend it. It’s less rough than Arch, but so is 24 grit sandpaper.

    Like others have said, there are many contenders for your use case, but mint stands out. I’m probably gonna go with mint once windows 10 stops getting updates. Mint or parrot. But TBH I don’t want to daily drive parrot either.

    Which version of mint then? That’s really the question to ask. And if you ask me then I don’t care for all the bells and whistles, I don’t need animations or semi transparent windows. And when Ubuntu went with unity back in the day I walked. So I guess I want my GUI to stay the same. So I’d go with MATE or xfce.
