fixed a problem where I referred to LXQT as LXDE by mistake. Either way, not a fan of either DE personally, so eh.

Debian well deserved S-tier imfo

i'm hoping someday i'll get to courage to try out a linux distro

@napreviewz what system do you use at the moment? If its Windows, I recommend either Linut Mint or Kubuntu, and if its MacOS, I'd recommend Ubuntu as a first distro! You can always try out in a VM or dualboot to see if its right for you!

keep in mind that it is a totally different operating system (esp if you're coming from windows, since MacOS and Linux are both Unix-likes, which makes them a little more alike than Windows, which is totally non-unix)

but since it is totally different, you won't find an exact "basically just windows" distro, and there is a learning curve no matter what

I am 1000% a topre convert. The HHKB layout also just makes so much more sense than the typical 65% QWERTY layout which I'm generally used to

I took the political compass test and scored very near you. It had some interesting takes on what is considered economic vs social. We're a little bit different, but spot on for autonomy. Lately, I've come to believe that capitalism could work fine - if the wealth were distributed. And yes, paying employees a fair living wage is a large part of that, as is in Japan. Instead of squeezing us to death like in the US.

Makes sense! I am also very open to changing my mind on pretty much everything, as keepng an open mind is important to me. I'm a little jaded about capitalism personally, but I think it could certainly be improved without a totally new system

On 8vals, I'm like 5-20% away from from everything you got, but still pretty close. Although I opine that govts should be subservient to the people, and corporations to govts, I otherwise try to avoid having a big list of "shoulds" and try to support concrete specific things (less car dependence, election reform, unions & coops, land-val tax). I sometimes think my opinions are too ill-informed to be worth hearing.

I honestly disagree!! I would love to read your opinions, regardless of how informed they are. I'm hardly an expert in like 99% of the things I state my opinion on, I just try to have read a lot, lol. I think everyone's expressed opinions can have value, even if they don't meet an arbitrary threshold of "informed"
