  • I did, it was a horrible medium littered with security issues and most of them were hot garbage in the first place.

    The best fun was being asked to modify the menu on a website only to find the “webmaster” who built the site used Flash for that, and having to figure out how to reverse engineer it.

    It was way past time for it to die when it was finally forced off the Internet… One of the few things I thank Apple for doing









  • Well, if you’re not going to go with Arch, might I suggest Gentoo?

    (kidding… mostly…)

    On a more serious note, Mint will run on most systems well, and Just Work for the most part, with the caveat that if you have really new hardware you might need to use a version with current Linux kernels (if they’re still doing that, I’m not seeing it at the moment though).

    The main downside is they keep to stable LTS builds, which means software is often a bit behind, but for most things, if you need the most up to date, there’s always flatpak. The upside, though, is updates tend to not be as big or numerous or frequent as in a more up to date distro like Fedora or a rolling release like Arch. It also means updates are less likely to cause issues and your system is less prone to developing quirks.

    Anyway, Mint is what I’ve been using, though I’ve also been using Fedora some at work… Both are solid, but I like Mint better. Could just be personal taste though so take that for what it’s worth.
