I agree it is sad but also when he was well, if he’d seen someone else in the condition he’s in now and had the choice to either cure them or make $1 for himself that he didn’t even need, I’m 100% convinced he’d have walked away a dollar richer.

I know it’s not nice to be piling onto an ailing old man who probably isn’t going to be around much longer, but yeah when he was in good health he was an awful person who didn’t give a single fuck about anyone else who was having a hard time, and had literally decades filled with opportunities to help people who were worse off and squandered them all just to accumulate more worthless power and money for himself.

Keeping him in power does nothing but harm other people and the country in general IMO, although to be fair that was also true before his health started to go south as well.

I’m not sure which other Republican candidates could really step up. Aside from Trump there’s DeSantis, who seems to be imploding and I think hates Trump anyway, Chris Christie (who called him a ‘One Man Crime Wave’ lol) and most of the others I haven’t even heard of before.

But there is also Mike Pence who is truly a wild card - there’s a reasonable chance Trump literally tried to have him killed and yet he still defends him for some reason - so if anyone is bonkers enough to make it to the White House and then set Trump loose, it’d probably be him.

I tend to prefer KDE because I’m a tinkerer, but I don’t hate GNOME or anything. I think it’s good for someone who wants the UI to just work and generally get out of the way without much fiddling, although last time I tried it I did find it needed a few extensions to add some basic stuff for whatever reason.

But ultimately, I think it’s good to have choices for both sides of the spectrum, that’s kind of what FOSS is all about in the end.

And don’t skip over reading things! I also run Arch with KDE and honestly with almost all problems I have, if I carefully read through either the Arch Wiki (this will probably be your most valuable tool) or the error message that comes up, the answer is usually in there somewhere, it just needs digging up.

Also: if something with a GUI crashes and doesn’t give an error message, try running it in the terminal. So like, if Firefox crashes and doesn’t give any info, try opening up a terminal and running firefox from there and the terminal will tell you everything that’s going on. (It’ll be a different command if you’re using a flatpak but that’s the general idea.)
