  • I see that OP has already gone off to do other things, but I agree with this. Ubuntu is fine for bare functionality like running a server, but as a beginner (or a very tired expert) Mint or Pop! is where you want to go for the long-term. Literally damn near straight out of the box functionality.

    Kids these days have it easy. Back in my day, we had to git clone source code from random github pages we stumbled across in chatrooms. It was like delving into the darkest part of the hidden library, knocking thrice upon the door, and pleading for mercy and wisdom from the Greybeards.



  • It’s not just fundies who are homeschooling. A very well-loved (and very liberal) family friend of mine started a home-school co-op for her kids and their neighbors because they were seriously unimpressed with the district test scores in science and social studies. Her kids are intelligent, independent, well-adjusted, and well-read.

    She did it because she lived in a red-state and wanted a modern, coherent, first-class education for her kids instead of theocratic indoctrination.
