I at least saw it a few days before, but forgot to move over. Honestly it’s getting annoying. I have been through 3 different servers all of which have shutdown including fmhy and antemerridiem.

Yes. Though it depends on what you want. If you are willing to learn some stuff, and don’t mind doing some maintenance, then CachyOS is hard to beat. It’s fast, up to date, has packages for basically everything, and the documentation from both them and from arch linux the parent distribution is great. Otherwise Linux Mint, PopOS, Aurora, and OpenSUSE are all good options. I wouldn’t recommend using Ubuntu directly anymore because of the enshitification canonical have engaged in. Debian is always good, but might not be what you are looking for in terms of ease of use or being up to date.

They also had pretty strict CPU requirements. Mostly only 8th gen and newer, or a ryzen, would be required.

Wish I had seen this post before it all shutdown. I ended up moving to dbzero in a rush.

Same!

What ideas do you have? I hadn’t heard the term groundwork before now, and I don’t know what this debate is about really. Can you explain?

What is groundwork? I haven’t heard this term before. Is it things like protesting and voting? Propagnda? Having conversations with everyday people? Or are those something else?
