what linux OS should I install on a backup notebook if my main one is debian?
  • Edge has a much new kernel. The last time I checked, regular Mint was using a 5x kernel, and Edge had, if I remember correctly, a 6.5 kernel.

  • Fedora
  • I recently switched to Fedora after roughly two decades of using Ubuntu (started with Warty Warthog), Debian and their derivatives. Feels oddly comfortable, and strangely nostalgic having started using in Linux with Red Hat 24 years ago. I think both Ubuntu and Fedora have their issues, as well as their strengths. It just boils down to what issues and strengths are most important to you.

  • What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?
  • Red Hat was the first Linux I installed, about 24 years ago, and got hooked. Switched to Ubuntu about 19 years ago, and have used nothing but Debian and derivatives since. I've attempted Fedora a few times, but could not convince myself to stick to it.

  • I feel like I'm missing out by not distro-hopping
  • I try different distros just out of curiosity. I've used several that look promising, but there always seems to be some little thing I end up not liking. I usually end up going back to Zorin, which to me feels a lot like Mint. If Mint works well for you, use it. While many Linux users tend to distro-hop quite a bit, if you just want a computer that works for what you need it to do, stick with what does that for you.

  • Is it only me, or do you find all those "I deleted Windows"-posts annoying too?
  • I don't mind them. If this type of social media had existed when I first installed Linux 24 years ago, I would have probably done the same thing.

  • Post Body Font Size
  • Well, I changed the Selftext font in Cards view, then switched back to Small Cards view, and the setting stuck. Odd, but works.

  • Post Body Font Size
  • I guess I should have specified that I use the Small Cards view, which doesn't have the Selftext setting.

  • Post Body Font Size

    I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to change the font/font size in the body of posts. I can change text for just about everything else, but can't find where to change the post body font.
