I think he has a kid

She'd be about 16, so probably fairly independent by now, but not entirely so.

But he also has actual books to write, in addition to blog articles. I'd imagine he's pretty busy

In Warhammer 40K, the Imperium of Man are awful, but they're the 'good guys' because they're human, any every other species is even more awful and would wipe humanity out given the chance

Mint is for people who generally don't want to do weird shit, which is most new users. If you do, it's not any harder than doing it on Ubuntu or Debian.

If you want in-depth tinkering, go with Arch. If you want newer packages than a Debian base but not necessarily much tinkering, go with Tumbleweed. You're just going to have to learn a different package manager for each.

I personally am most comfortable in an environment that has apt, and I don't change much on my systems, so Mint is nice. My servers are straight Debian

In a desktop (which is what you want for gaming anyways) why not? Easy enough to slot in a new drive and dual boot from there, no need to muck about with partitions like with a single-drive laptop.

If it doesn't work out, oh well, go back to Windows. But maybe Linux is finally there, and you'll find you don't need to go back

I suggest Mint for new users (and lazy old users like me). All of the simplicity of Ubuntu, without Canonical's shit

just because fewer and fewer people own things doesn't mean it isn't a direct result of Capitalization of the economy

In fact that's the natural progression of a Capitalist economy

Wonder how someone class conscious like this ended up in the US military.

Decent chance that having been in the military is why they're so class conscious
