My first distro was Suse Linux 8.1. I had to buy the box as downloading was not an option with my dial-up connection back then. However, the first distro that I fell in love with was Fedora Core. The original one. I bought the book which had the DVD with the full installation. I was hooked. That was more than 20 years ago.

MX Linux. It's exactly how I'd set up Debian if I wasn't too lazy. Although, I've gone back to Debian after Bookwarm was released. I love it but miss MX

Windows will reach 12 this year. Double score!

This is just zdnet being zdnet Firefox remains the best browser for me and many others. The percentage of users in highly educated groups is much higher and there is a reason for this.

I have been using wayland on kde the last two years on Debian and MX Linux with zero issues. My general usa includes coding, music production, Libre office and web browsing. So, no much gaming, if that is your concern.

Snap has a locked and proprietary store, even if the client is FOSS. There is no reason to "hate" Ubuntu but there are better choices.

Ctrl+Shift+A will get you to Add-ons and Themes. Click on Extensions, if it is not already chosen. Among your extensions you should see relay. Click the switch to the right to turn it off or the three dots to remove it completely.

For someone as tech illiterate as my mom, I'd advise against trying it. But you are here and my mom would never know that Lemmy is a thing. You also ask about Linux.
I'd guess that you will have great fun using and appreciating what Linux and the foss communities have created.

Surely their perspective was vastly different than ours. This attempt was likely reasonable at its time in 1948, when Israel was hardly a state. Hindsight is always different from actual sight.

Israel is not a single entity but a collection of collections who do not agree with each other. Just like any country you will find everything there. The problem is always the militants (e.g. IDF, Hamas in this case) and the dominant minority of people yielding authority over violence. The rest of the people are just that: people. With different thoughts, aspirations, suffering and preconceptions. Just like all of us here. Therefore, there is no "One Israel" that wants us to believe something specific. Depends on who you talk to.

Nope. Not the way we understand communism today. Our understanding of communism in 2023 is very different from 1935-45. Most likely you and I would have been sympathetic to communism then, and Einstein would condemn communism in later years (e.g. today) if he was alive.

The author is exited but I'm not. I am not a big fan of corporations taking the free work of FOSS developers and turning it into a proprietary dystopia.
