That's not fair!

There's also Mint for grandmas and Pop for gamers.

(silently slinks away with Win10 and Kubuntu dual boot...)
- There’s also Mint for grandmas
  
  Or, you know, people like me who just want something simple to run a few things like a web browser and Discord and don't want to fuck around a lot.
  
  Christ... Linux snobs helped keep me away from Linux for years. Now I have to deal with Linux flavor snobs...
  
  Linux: The Flavor Wars are great for popcorn.
  
  I... I...
  
  I prefer GUI tools.
  
  There. I said it.
- I’m deeply embarrased for my Ubuntu 2204. 😅
  
  Eh, it’s not a big deal. I rocked Ubuntu LTS for quite a while, largely because I got used to screwing with a ton of Ubuntu servers at work for years. Use what you like. We may engage in some spirited distro dick-measuring from time to time, but it’s ultimately up to you, what you enjoy, and how you want to use it. Make it as bloated or minimal as you want it. It’s your box.
  
  If you like ancient things use Slackware
- I'm struggling to get back into using Debian again but like, with every issue it makes me look at my windows partition more and more. Like it's significantly better then it was 10 years ago and I love it's speed but, it's reliability and compatibility could definitly improve
  
  I'm curious what you're running into with Debian that would make you say it's not reliable...
  
  I have Debian installs that have been continuously running for years (sans long power outages and such).
  
  Give Pop a try. It's the least fussy Linux distro I've ever used. I'm going on year 4 with the same install, without ever breaking it once, which is a new record for me.
- What if I made a new distro that combined all 3 to capture that tech savvy, gaming grandma market?
- Pop doesn't have immediate support for new games, Windows does. I just want to download a game play it. It gets even more complicated if you want to play online with friends or mod a game, on Windows it's all one click away.
  
  If it's on Steam then it's immediately supported on Pop.
- Don't forget openSUSE tumbleweed. There are dozens of us. Dozens!!
Yeah I am on arch.

….. on a Steam Deck lol.

Also FUCK that episode was fascinating I love how Moriarty ended up not just being some straight evil entity it elevated the episode so much.
That is the Archway!

On another note, I liked this Moriarty episode too. But, also liked this one 🤣:
- So many shows did that Risky Business parody.
  
  ALF! That was great.
My head canon is that the entire series The Nanny was actually a malfunction of the cube they stuck Moriarty in
Arch all fun and games untill I upload steam_nvidia_crypto.git
- You mean arch is all fun and troubleshooting games
Luckily, when I saw this post I had swallowed my coffee. I nearly had to clean the couch!
