So what’s the right distro to prepare for a Russian invasion?

I’m saying it’s better known and more accessible.
PCs are fundamentally designed to be OS-agnostic, Android hardware is not.

Despite efforts to the contrary, PC is still an inherently far more open platform than any mobile device.

That was an attempt to preserve the order of planets, but a failed one since there are other non-planets with moons. xkcd.com/3063
The modern definition doesn’t depend on moons. Which is good because not all planets have them.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 dev calls Randy Pitchford's $80 Borderlands 4 comments "gross" because it implies the FPS is more important than "making it day to day" 2 weeks ago:
They’re really just milking what nostalgia still remains for a franchise that people have largely moved on from.
They could instead try to boldly reinvent it to grab new customers, but I’m not seeing it.

I’ve found that while shorter people often wish to be taller, tall women actually hate being made aware of their height. Even if it’s framed very positively.
I think they’re aware that some people (idiots) think it makes you less feminine. Usually due to their own insecurities.
- Comment on Microsoft shuts down email account of International Criminal Court chief prosecutor 3 weeks ago:
Munix was by all accounts a success on a technical level that could be replicated by any European administration.
The problem was, of course, political. The incoming conservative admin needed to paint the progressive competition as incompetent, and do the usual corruption of course. So they jumped on one department’s complaint about an issue with one piece of software to cancel and roll back the entire fucking project.
A few months later, Microsoft opened up their new European headquarters in Munich. By sheer coincidence I’m sure.

It’s still preemptive compliance by Microsoft.
Trump loves this shit because if it blows up, he can just say “I never ordered this.”

Pixels are known for their outstanding camera quality and you can get GrapheneOS on them.
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 3 weeks ago:
The GrapheneOS dev wrote a wrapper / sandbox for the Google core services that spoofs some “required” APIs, and it allows full control over permissions.
- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 4 weeks ago:
The average user doesn’t give a fuck about security. They use whatever manufacturers put in front of them because the alternatives are not known or reasonably available to them.

My dad bought a new tablet. I spent over an hour debloating it with ADB just to get it to a usable state.
I really don’t know why people love their products. Even the performance out of the box is utter shit until you disable the virtual RAM.

- Comment on PewDiePie: I installed Linux (so should you) 1 month ago:
Dragging them on Mission Control hasn’t worked for my apps. I’ve had to exit fullscreen, move screens, then reengage fullscreen.
The double-click to maximize often doesn’t work. Many windows either do nothing, or resize only to a specific size, or maximize only vertically. Totally not infuriating.
Rectangle is the tool I use to make windows behave.

M4 Pro user here. “Full screen” on Mac means turning the current App window into a new temporary virtual desktop, which is placed after your normal virtual desktops. It also turns off the status bar / app menu, even though you don’t get that screen space back because of the camera notch.
How many virtual desktops you have and which one is active is specific to each connected display, so I hope you’re good at remembering their order and purpose and don’t mind performing several gestures to get back to your app.
You might just want to maximize your app window instead. Though you do need third-party software to do that properly.
I wish I was kidding about any of this.
