Queer engineer w/ bg in computer vision, automation, embedded systems, and thermostat programming (it's just a switch). Content mix is 1 part tech to 1 part gay with a sprinkling of dog photos. For my own mental health, I avoid some categories of political content, but both tech and my existence as a trans person are inherently political, so there's that.

I like/star a lot of things. Contextually it may mean anything from agreed to you have my sympathies. Existence is hard, keep up the good work ⭐

Cool people use alt text and content warnings, punching down is weak af

Looking for advice from all you qualifed* Linux nerds: What Linux distro are we using these days to minimize the amount of AI slop and fascism embedded in your OS?

I was a Debian girl back when I was a young lad and reliable wifi on Linux was but a dream. Ubuntu has been my daily driver for over a decade, but it's accumulated annoyances have my looking for change. 

This will be going on a new-to-me Thinkpad from the early 2020's, full drive encryption is an obvious must, as well as decent support for Blender, Godot, and Kitra.

*Qualifications for this solicited advice require participants be carbon-based lifeform(s) with at least one intersectionally queer friend. This specifically excludes meat proxies, weird little guys of foss, and anyone who thinks tech needs anymore advocates for the devil.

Tl;dr: I've got a strong technical background and can compare/contrast deep technical specs all day, I want recommendations from people based on their personal experience
