Any similarity to Apple is purely coincidental.

“Your papers! You’re Patterson!”

What’s “cave into”?

Never forget, “history is written by the victors”.

Now you got me curious. What’s the argument against Mozilla?

How’s that better? Honestly curious.

I think there are two sides to this. Yes, online aggression has probably peaked in recent years with the rise of worldwide pro far-right misinformation campaigns, no argument there. They were specifically targeted at the people more vulnerable to buy into hate speech propaganda.

On the other hand, I have personally noticed more constructive discussions, even after I deleted most of my anti-social media accounts and substantialy decreased my usage of Internet forums in general. It seems there’s some positive trend in the middle of all that.

Windows XP’s UI philosophy was great: one could always find what they needed within a two-clicks distance. Everything just went downhill after that. If they ever fix Windows, it will probably look a lot like XP again.

You do realize that makes it even more disappointing, right? I mean, trying to understand what Brexit was after voting for it? My goodness.

Good for you.

That’s not how it works. Ubuntu adds layers of hardware support and software tweaks on top of its Debian base. Same goes for Mint on top of Ubuntu.

I’m really fond of the Aspire 15 at the moment. You can get them without any preinstalled OS, which is perfect if your goal is to run Linux on them, since you won’t be paying any hidden costs for a Windows license you never intended to use anyway.

That’s fine, since the chances of a doctor prescribing antibiotics in Europe are the same as winning the lottery.

I’ve had very disappointing experiences with Lenovo laptops in general and they’re not cheap, even when bought second hand. My recommendation? Go for an AMD Acer laptop, they’re very good machines and Linux Mint works out of the box in all laptops I’ve tested it so far. And I’m sure there are other affordable / good OEMs out there.

Why?

Not directly, I’m just giving OP the answer they wanted:

The quick and dirty questions is: Which distro should I try next?

Give Linux Mint a spin, I seriously doubt there’s a friendlier distribution for newcomers from Windows.

Ah ok, so Brexit was caused by Russians now. I thought it was caused by the people who voted to leave the EU.

That’s a fallacy. Teenagers are the victims here. So I’m obviously blaming greedy corporations, lack of good parenting and proper regulation from authorities.
