“in the united states, they considered being against the state a mental illness” is the claim, not that the united states does bad things.
Citation, please on the claim. I don’t need a list of everything the us government has done wrong, I want proof of the one thing that was claimed
In this case a better proxy might be McCarthyism but afaik that was applying political pressure directly to fuck people over, mask off – not putting people in mental hospitals.
Gnome is a terrible UI, but no, it’s recommended because it’s been recommended since the 2000s…it’s just momentum.
But don’t worry, 2025 is the year of the Linux desktop

In what way is the education system easier for girls to navigate? That doesn’t make sense to me at all.
I can’t tell if you’re sarcastic or a time traveler from 1870.
If you’re not looking to do much you might be better off with one of the immutable variants (silver blue, aurora, bazzite). The upside is things are not supposed to break too much. The downside is if it breaks almost any existing instructions on the internet prior to maybe 2022 will fuck the system up more. Tbh Linux changes so fast that’s true for most variants, but you can reach back to maybe 2018 before you start to hit system-breaking legacy instructions.
Mint isn’t a good choice, but if you want a generally straightforward system that looks like Mac (gnome) or windows (KDE) then fedora is a good choice.
None of these options will be as secure by default as a Mac or windows machine – you will have to do a lot of learning and be generally technically inclined to get there. The immutable OSs will give you a small leg up there, just because you’re running less random shit from the internet as admin/root, but the Linux community hates Intel and Microsoft so much it’s taken a lonnnngggg time to adopt standard security techniques, mostly resting on their laurels from decades past. Will you get viruses? Probably not. But just because nobody broke in doesn’t mean leaving your door unlocked is secure.
I can multitask.
I know this is foreign to a lot of people but I actually have multiple applications and windows open in my os as well. Even multiple desktops.
