  She hated my feminine behaviour/preferences growing up and still does and used to berate me for that. She didn’t support me when I came out as gay.

  So she never accepted you as you are and didn’t support you when you needed her most? Your dad’s no saint, but if I were in your position, I’d sooner end contact with my mother than my father.

  Tell his son or daughter that he made a mistake, and there right thing to do, assuming the relationship was untenable, would’ve been to end things with his wife before pursuing someone else.

  A good mother will prioritize the wellbeing of her children over winning a conflict with her (ex) partner. It is completely unfair of her to ask you to pick a side or go no contact with your father. Hopefully she’ll realize this once she’s had some time to process her (understandable) emotions. In the mean time, best of luck to you!

  NGL, IMO your dad sounds like kind of a piece of shit (based on the limited information available to me). However, at the end of the day he is still your father and it’s not your job to punish him for that. That’s your mother’s lawyer’s job.

  Be there for your mother if you feel up to it (and you love her), but keep in mind that it’s a parent’s job to emotionally support their children, not the other way around.

  Other Debian-based distros with XFCE are going to be very similar, yes.

  Xubuntu is going to install Snaps if you install some software through apt, though, which imo is kind of gross. That’s the reason I switched to Mint. But if you like Snaps, it’s arguably a better choice.

  Debian might be slightly harder to set up. However, from what I hear, it’s easy enough for most people now.

  If you’re already familiar with regular Mint, XFCE Edition is going to have the same key bindings, update manager and driver manager, so it should be slightly easier to use.

  You could try Linux Mint XFCE edition. Comes with a more lightweight desktop environment.

  It could happen, provided the cars are remotely piloted by a bunch of Indians.

  I’d eat that, and in only a little drunk.

  Yes you would!

  In The Netherlands I’ve heard opinions ranging from “Every citizen is Dutch” to “You’re Dutch if you embrace our values” to “You’re Dutch if you speak Dutch at home”.
