Nobody can read it, check the source of your comment. The word gets immediately replaced when you post. I’d like to know what words are forbidden, is there a list somewhere?

Just to test how the filter behaves: Bi.tch.

You can swear on the internet. Violence? Gore? No problem!

A bad word? Son of a removed, we’re all going to die.

Edit: Wtf, there is a swear filter? Fuck.

What is actually your problem with Android FF? I use it every day on my phone.

Yes, it’s not as snappy as Chrome, but besides that everything works perfectly. In addition to that: Fully fledged ad-blocker like on desktop, one big reason why I no longer use Chrome on my phone.

Who wants to bet they got Russian money in their pockets?

Unfortunately it’s too hot outside for 2010 :(

But as OP said, they already failed several times. That’s like telling someone who nearly drowned in the shallow end of a pool to go jump into the ocean.

See here:

So what would be a good distro to look into for a novice and where should I look for a tutorial?

For me it feels like they do want to learn, but aren’t comfortable yet as a day to day user. They want to use Linux, but struggle with commands and how to use it. Having a stable and easy to use system you can use each day without trouble would probably be a better start than telling them to fiddle with Arch. Give them an easy distro and when they want to learn more they can use the crappy old laptop and try to install Arch on there (while leaving their daily driver alone).

I think I learned the most when using Ubuntu for school, 90% of it was easy and straight forward. 10% of it was hell, like back in the day getting HDMI or audio to work. But because the 90% were there I just dug in and spent a dozen hours to troubleshoot the rest.

I tried that after already having about 2 years experience with Ubuntu desktop and an Ubuntu server (but still mostly a Windows user). I’m also a software developer.

And I failed to install Arch on a laptop the last time I tried it out. Ubuntu ran flawlessly, trying to go step by step through the Arch installation I hit a random error (at a step that was very straight forward and easy in the documentation) and got stuck. Messed around with it and at some point gave up.

I mean that’s years ago, it probably works a lot better nowadays and especially on more modern hardware, but even so for someone new to Linux I’d never tell them to go with a do-it-yourself install. Slap Ubuntu on that bad boy, let them install a few packages, do a handful of terminal commands and they’ll get much farther. Instead of giving up three hours in because a random command (that they still don’t understand) is broken.

Please stop, he’s already dead :(

My first reaction is (like it was back on Reddit): Fuck, what did I do?

Either I made a good comment or something really controversial, either way now I’m stuck with replying to everyone.

👍 can also be sarcastic, like your contract is so dumb, I’m not even properly replying to it. Such a dumb ruling.

That’s why I just use my own KeePass database synced over Dropbox. Zero issues, it’s free and nobody is targeting it. Even if someone got access to my Dropbox they’d still have to crack the encryption.

You take away power users and people fed up with Reddit and the casual user who doesn’t care is left over.

If you look at blackout votes it was usually around 4 to 1 in favor.

During and shortly after the blackouts there were a ton of upset casual users calling the mods cunts, the blackouts don’t help, stop holding other users hostage, give me back my content!!!

Those users don’t care about third party apps, mod tooling and so on, they just want to browse the site. These angry users got the loudest while protestors took a break or left for the Fediverse.

You can swear here. Try it out: Fucked

But yeah, I’m going to miss RIF, it was the best way to use Reddit on Android :-/
