Getting the Most Out of Our Discourse Part 2: Some Practical Tips & Tricks for a Smoother Experience

“Last time I spoke about the importance of community, of the social side of Discourse, and what we can do to leave it a better place than we found it. This is a subject I intend returning to but this time I want to focus on more practical usage of the software that can make our experience here easier, quicker, and hopefully more functional. …” Rubi1200

After Weeks of Distro-Hopping, Ubuntu Was the Only Thing That Didn’t Break

“I’ve spent years distro-hopping: Arch, Debian, Fedora, Mint, Pop!_OS, Kali, and more. I always thought Ubuntu was too basic or “default” to be the best. I was wrong. After about a month of daily driving, I have to say: Ubuntu is the most perfect distribution I’ve ever used.The experience is incredibly smooth, stable, and completely functional “out of the box.” Zero driver issues, zero dependency hell, and virtually no frustrating errors. It just works, letting me focus on my tasks. I’m 100% sticking with Ubuntu. Shoutout to the team for building such a polished OS!” Far_Horse_5377
