It doesn't just cost FPS. It straight up breaks some games that run fine on other distros.

Does it still have that feature that kills and restarts cinnamon when memory leaks start getting to be too much? I honestly had to laugh at that when that was introduced.

It's just a general quality of the political far right the world over. They don't like people that don't act, look, or think like them. Anything that challenges their beliefs about what a person is supposed to do is something to fight against for them.

When it goes to the extreme, you get Nazis.

It's probably like the US military and their missile silos still using floppy disks. Better to keep a time-tested and very familiar system running a critical operation than a new one with a bunch of unknowns. Or like when you go to the bank, and the screen the teller is looking at is just a front end going through a dozen different layers with COBOL code written by long dead or retired people on a mainframe at the other end.

Us end users with very low risk can afford to continuously live on the bleeding edge.

Does professor Sherman need to teach another lesson?

Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

I have tried Linux as a DD on and off for years but about a year ago I decided to commit to it no matter the cost. First with Mint, then Ubuntu and a few others sprinkled in briefly. Both are “mainstream” “beginner friendly” distros, right? I don’t want anything too advanced, right?...

Fedora still feels like Redhat sort of to me (I'm old) and I wouldn't have recommended Redhat in 2001 either, I would have told someone to use Mandrake or Suse. Redhat was the "corporate/govt" OS and I know it's changed, but that's why it's usually not the first recommendation that comes to my mind. I still need to adapt.
