That’s a very good response right there.

Not much to elaborate there. It’s mostly used by people who generally behave in a way that I consider unacceptable and destructive. The solutions themselves have issues too (such as the practical inability to remove already posted content) but I’m not talking about that.

The laptop has an M.2 SSD

Yea then there should be no speed issues related to it.

Coming up on 24 years!

Wow you’re a real man. A ton of respect for you.

Well first of all the “best” distros in many people’s opinions are DIY ones like Arch or Gentoo and for older hardware it’s minimal distros which have learning curves of their own so such lists would probably be bad for beginners.

Anyways your hardware isn’t too slow so any distro should be usable I think. Choose one that is well known and that has a desktop environment (UI) you think your wife (congrats on having one btw) would like. If you have no idea, just go for the Cinnamon version of Linux Mint. Its UI is very much similar to Windows and it’s as easy to use as it gets.

If you’re feeling brave, you can try a distro with vanilla (not customized as hell) GNOME environment like Fedora. It’s unique and known for not having any features by default lol so it’s very easy once you get a hang of it. The UI is the most similar to Android than anything I’d say.

EDIT: any modern OS will be pretty slow if it’s installed on an HDD (spinning hard drive). If you have that, I’d highly recommend upgrading to a cheap SSD. The difference will be night and day, especially in boot times.

Because I haven’t heard of it much in years.

Ngl I hate everything ActivityPub gave birth to. But I guess in itself it’s nice?

Wait stackoverflow isn’t forgotten yet?

Well now it’s not used anymore so it still counts imo.

I love how unknown projects move to modern toolkits and GIMP just moved to an almost 15 years old one.

And yes I do know that GTK4 absolutely sucks for feature-rich applications.

That is actually so good.

I think there are a lot of things with that name.

So basically a playground for those trying to get quick 10-30k followers using only AI and increased success rate due to ActivityPub support? Hmm sounds like a poison to me.

EDIT: actually I heard about the other Gemini thing but I didn’t really know what exactly it is and how it’s used so yea.

I don’t remember anything really bad about it. I just want to see my beloved GTK4 + libadwaita in 2025.

It’s not just about storage speed. It’s also about the CPU.

No GTK4. Literally 0/10.

Just for clarification: are you running Windows and Android on the same hardware in this example?

That can be fixed by enabling desktop mode. Not a very good fix but that’s just the Firefox reality.
