Thanks, I have installed tumbleweed today and I like it. It is much faster too. I'm unsure about learning two different sets of commands just when I'm switching. I guess I have time to decide until my ssd arrives.
Well, I've ordered ssd and installed openSuse tumbleweed. I like it and it's much snappier too, but the command line is different to ubuntu and I don't think i want to learn two sets of commands. I guess I'll have to decide which way I want to go.
I misremembered the specs it's actually i7-2630m, which indicates that I thought I got the laptop later than I thought.
I've ordered a ssd so hopefully that will improve the speed.
My apologies, it's only 4gb ram and I did overestimated the age as well. It's i7-2630m processor, video is nvidia gt 540m.
Based on another commenter's advice I installed openSuse tumbleweed and it is quite snappy and I like it, but I've noticed that working terminal is different and since I'm transitioning from Windows and learning Linux I don't want to learn two sets of commands. Decisions, decisions...
Thank you for your open minded approach. Obviously I don't save posts or comments that annoy me, but now I see one of those as a response to my comment (large gif/jpg with no text). Earlier today I saw a post about brigading that was stupid, but I'm not throwing all hexbears into the same basket, a bunch of the comments were completely nuts. I couldn't find it again, instead I found this one: https://hexbear.net/post/502637
Again, it's not a crime, people can circlejerk however they want. What really annoys me is when I come across a post where I'm interested in reading people's opinions one the subject and the comments are filled with stickers. Strangely enough no other community does that.
If you put down the thesaurus and actually think about things you will perhaps start to understand.
I grew up in former Czechoslovakia until my adulthood under the rule of the communist party until we overthrew them in 1989. The effects of that time are still with me. The human nature that came to light during communist rule would make your hair stand on end. All in pursuit of ideology. You can't comprehend what you're advocating for further than some utopian theory you read.
I've grown up under a communist government in a socialist republic. So while I have no degree in Marxism-Leninism, I can assure you that all of my schooling was infused with it. Same goes for most of popular culture.
I don't despise communism, as is often the case with people like me, the idea is noble, if utopian. The ideology, like all ideologies, is scary for its intolerance and disregard of human nature. I will therefore gatekeep any pure ideolog, just to save my own faith in humanity.
My apologies, I was generalising. I've had perfectly normal interactions with hexbear users, but I also saw a bunch of very circlejerky threads populated by hexbear users which I found unbearable (or should it be unhexbearable?).
They're just an annoying bunch of wannabe communists who sound incredibly smug and post a ton of stickers in comments.
Having said that I've moved to lemm.ee when lemmy.world defeterated from hexbear.
Wild strawberries (Fragaria vesca). Incredibly fragrant and sweet. Regular strawberryies can't compare.
