Not directly, I’m just giving OP the answer they wanted:

The quick and dirty questions is: Which distro should I try next?

Give Linux Mint a spin, I seriously doubt there’s a friendlier distribution for newcomers from Windows.

That’s a fallacy. Teenagers are the victims here. So I’m obviously blaming greedy corporations, lack of good parenting and proper regulation from authorities.

This comment won’t fix it for you, but I can definitely relate to what you’re saying. I’ve spent so much time optimizing my web games in a way that they run more-or-less consistently the same in any modern browser, it was probably as much work as it was put in the games themselves. I do maintain my own engine, so I was aware of the cost.

The thing is, now Firefox is officially one of the last browsers employing their own rendering engine. The other one is probably Safari. I’m not aware of any others that do that. All other major browsers are using Chromium under the hood, and we know how this industry ruthlessly optimizes things for popularity. I won’t delve into how many software layers of responsibility are involved in playing a video game in a web browser. My point is, if something is “passable” for a couple popular browsers, very few people will bother with checking why the less popular ones might have some sub-par performance.

Kindness wins.

The Go programming language allows developers to fetch modules directly from version control platforms like GitHub.

This is absolutely not just specific to Go.

Teenagers should not be on social media. I rest my case.

Bottom line: Lunatics gonna be lunatics, with AI or not.

I still use Ecosia.org for most of my research on the Internet. It doesn’t need as much resources to fetch information as an AI bot would, plus it helps plant trees around the globe. Seems like a great deal to me.

Thank you.

I can’t take seriously articles about the Internet that don’t even capitalize “Internet” correctly.

That ship has sailed. Hence this being called a “post-PC era”.

Everyone is abandoning Android

What do you mean?

Tab groups have always been there. They’re called windows.

Forget Google, forget iPhones.

I can sympathize. And what they don’t know is that JavaScript heavy apps actually decrease development satisfaction and speed, while also making the end result crappier.

As an early Linux adopter who tried everything under the Sun, I can only say that Mint is absolutely awesome.

Gimp, Oh my ZSH and VS Code.

I meant that as a humorous wish. Apparently it didn’t work.

Because it’s fine the way it is. They can ask newbie questions over there, while we try to have more interesting discussions over here. /s
