Nostr Web Client

Since I bought a new laptop, I'll need to install linux on it. (I may not bother installing windows on it at all.)

I have used Linux Mint and Pop!_OS (The dumbest OS moniker ever, IMO). Pop has been wearing thin. Mint was stable but not exactly . . . cool? Inspiring? And also just another debian fork.

If you were to recommend to me a flavor of linux, what would it be? I am NOT a dev, I don't game, and I mostly just complain on nostr, surf, and use freecad on occasion. I would like to eventually be able to run more local nostr stuff. I do not need to do anything too heavy with graphics of compute as I will never run an LLM on the laptop directly. If my T420 wasn't literally falling apart and costing more to fix than a new used laptop, I would be totally fine with it forever.

So . . . Whatcha got?

I'm pretty sure you have me muted and I kinda fucking hate you, but for others reading this thread:

If you've never (successfully) used linux without systemd before, consider it for your next distro

I don't understand why the 1st part is relevant for your comment. But I digress.

Which distro do you recommend? Cause the linked posts are "very" old and seem to be outdated?.

MX Linux has been working for me

Anyone, who is maybe interested:

Here is a good video explaining what systemd is and its problems: https://youtu.be/Fv3tQbOkz-E

I do have you muted. You are a nutter.

But that is a solid recommendation, so thank you. I appreciate that.

Maybe you're not so bad. Idk.
