Hi folks! I guess this is half “which distro” and half advice seeking, but I have finally convinced my partner that he needs to switch from macOS to a linux distro on his 2017 macbook air. He is able to navigate his computer but is not super interested in tech, and I am the more experienced user! I am running debian on my server and my desktop and have been debating if it would be better just to run debian on his machine as well.

My question is if I should let him cycle through distros to find which one works best for him, or to throw debian on there to make it easier for me to troubleshoot if things go awry? I am really just hoping to make the transition as smooth as humanly possible for him!

i am watching TNG for the first time (at the recommendation of my mom) and she really led me to believe that this show was going to be a lot more progressive than it has been so far. i have been enjoying some aspects but feel a little weird about the way that data’s personhood is presented and the over reliance on european productions as markers of human cultural heritage.

i’m currently in the middle of season 4 (i did really like the Data centred episode that was framed as letters to Maddox) but i am really just wondering if there is anything that pushes the boundaries of what was acceptable? or is it pretty similar from here on out?
