Just go for whatever DE looks pretty to you, I personally like KDE. Don't be afraid to switch to a different desktop later on, its just a few packages to install most of the time.
As for distros, pick something established that looks good to you. You said you have experience, so you probably know what you want from a distro.
I ran arch on my machine a lot but recently switched to fedora for its simpler installation.
You know, I tried KDE recently on a UBUNTU install it's got some nice features, but man is it buggy when it comes to scaling on 4K monitors. Also, the UI is a little rough. I switched back to gnome.
Well the look and feel is subjective, I like KDE because it feels like what windows could have been if it was done well.
As for the scaling, I use it on a 1080PC laptop screen but also sometimes my 3440x1440 display and haven't really run into bad scaling. Were you using X11 or Wayland? I've been on Wayland for years.
Your account has almost certainly been assigned a new username already. From the same link:
> Starting March 4, 2024, Discord will begin assigning new usernames to users who have not chosen one themselves. If your username still has a discriminator (username*#0000*), Discord will begin assigning you a new, unique username as soon as March 4, 2024. We will try to assign you a unique username that is similar to your current username.
> I wonder if they'll delete my account eventually
Just some days ago I received warning from Discord that they'll delete my account since I haven't logged in for two years.
> Your Discord account has been inactive for over 2 years, and is scheduled to be deleted on $DATE. But don’t worry! Dust off the cobwebs and prevent your account from being deleted just by logging in.
I mean, nothing stops you from taking the device tree from raspbian and tinkering with other distros. But that's true for most other boards since they have to ship a device tree with their official image.
Raspberry Pi supports their images long term however, so you won't have to do that anytime soon.
Another benefit of raspberry pi is its popularity, there are just more projects out there compared to less known SBC manufacturers.
Iirc the Archlinux arm project have images for the raspberry pi 4 (maybe 5).
> The Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, criticised the approach as “automated suspicion”. It said: “Officers must not be subjected to opaque or untested tools that risk misinterpreting unsustainable workload pressures, sickness or overtime as indicators of wrongdoing.”
Oh so when they target police officers these measures are questioned, but when police departments deploy them to spy on the general populace I guess its fine...
I don't recall them protesting against treating every passerby as a suspect in the lineup, so here's my heartfelt message to the Police Federation: f* off, nice to see you on the receiving end for a change.
I never understood the credit card thing
Why would I want to spend money on loan by default? Why do the Americans do that all the time? What's the benefit?
I can't answer for Americans for a whole, but I live in the USA and I pay with credit card by default. My personal reasons:
* Cards are convenient. No need to go get cash, no change at each transaction to manage carrying around.
* Cards give a discount in the form of "cash back". (As mentioned elsewhere, this really just inflates the cost of everything for everyone, but I might as well claw it back.)
* I don't actually go "into debt". I pay off my card (automatically!) every month, and incur no interest charges. I use it like a slightly deferred debit card with benefits.
The last bullet being significant to your point: I don't "spend money on [a] loan".
For consumers, the risk of fraud is bear by the bank, not you, because you're spending the bank's money instead of yours. For banks, they make money through interests from the customers that don't pay off the bill each month.
Only one participant can stream in a call. An arbitrary restriction that I just dont understand.
You also can't properly full screen when you're viewing a screen share, for whatever reason....
