badposting
badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

I suppose I'm curious, if you fire up a Linux mint USB what's your first blocker to just hitting the "install" button?
I actually have Mint, I'm trying other distros on live USBs because I'm just unnecessarily picky. I liked the visuals of Ubuntu better, it handled my trackpad better, but the windows and desktop management of Mint way more. Mint gets harsh on my eyes after a while and I do not know why.
I see, do you know that you can change your desktop environment (generally on charge of the visuals) without changing distros?
It would be easier to install/uninstall DEs than spinning up a live USB. I would only change away from Mint if something didn't install correctly, although I have found it very reliable in recent years.
Yeah, but it looks like exactly what I'm seeking might not exist. I tried xfce and MATE and thought Cinammon was better. I still don't understand why Ubuntu played so much nicer with my trackpad but it might have to do with using Wayland instead of X11?
Could be something like that, trackpads can be a bit tricky unfortunately. It sounds like you're in the spot of "I want things to work a certain way but I'm not up for the tinkering it would take to get it there", which is reasonable. I've sucked up a lot of quirks that annoyed me when I didn't feel like fixing them, but at the same time there's true of windows as well (for me).
More like the tinkering I've tried has broken things :(
