Mint definitely is a god send for non tech people with a generic computer usage.

“oh no, open source developers are burning out and giving up projects left and right, I really wonder why” - You, probably

The worrying part is not the cheating, it’s the spy he cheated with

Definitely check out yunohost. No containers, but roughly what you’re asking for imo.

That’s always been the end goal. They have the capacity and the money for that now

Or ignoring the brand of the car you drive everyday. You don’t need to know how it works, just know enough to operate it safely.

God fucking damit, so many open source projects struggle for money and yet, that fascist jackass’ dot file distro gets all the support. That’s maddening…

You know it’s not a single binary, right ? Systemd is a bunch of different, mostly single usage, mostly optional, binaries. As far as Unix philosophy goes, Systemd is definitely following the principles, which is not the case for the Kernel for instance.

As for the binary logs, I used to hate it, but then, not having to manually parse logs for filtering is really nice.

I do have my issues with Systemd, but it not following the Unix philosophy is not one of them.

Revealjs is pretty amazing, especially coupled with pandoc. You write markdown and you get slides that you can personalize.

It’s been my to go method for slides for almost a decade now

Checkmate.

Well, if the model detected an issue, and a human tested it to make sure it was real and then fixed it, I think that’s an acceptable use of AI tools.

Podman and quadlets are the way to go for monoserver services

By the way, the current age verification madness is a coordinated lobbying campaign by Meta

I absolutely love the fact that we’ll most likely never get rid of stuff like that in AI generated content. There will always be things that are wrong/wonky with it.

The problem is when they start making it acceptable to the masses

Fair, markdown, git and pandoc could work but, it might be too big of a jump for someone used to Word

Is Word mandatory or is Word compatible good enough ?

Because LibreOffice is pretty good, you could even push it further with pandoc, inputting markdown and outputting word documents.

Otherwise, as others suggested, Wine with an older Office version should do the trick

I have the option to use WSL at work, it’s not perfect but it’s so much better than having to code on a glorified web browser.

Definitely not beginner friendly. Yunohost is great for beginners.

Preferably in an easy, maintainable way. Like markdown in a git repo.
