24 days ago- the main difference between distros is the packages you can install and the default configurations you get out of the box. The main recommendation is to use a popular distro (like ubuntu, mint or pop-os) so you can get a good level of support in both documentation and forums/chatrooms. other distros range from different defaults to completely different architecture so it’s recommended to look into them until you are more used to linux and you are curious of finding a better fit for your specific need
for the image editing you can try krita. it’s usually considered better than gimp in many scenarios and also more user friendly.
the most infuriating part is how they decide anubis is bad (valid concerns, i do share some of them) but haven’t talked about any possible alternative, even a temporary one, they can use to avoid overworking their two sysadmins. anubis is specially useful for sites like that, where they had very little admin power. trying to use gnu sites lately is a pain because they are often not-operational, which is way more disrupting than having to wait a bit for whatever challenge they could have
the whole post reads like an useless rant without any proper aim. if they are so interested on the free internet, they could probably try and come up with some alternative but the way they talk makes me think they are just ignorant of the modern hostile internet and just want to magically return to the past where this didn’t happened without having to do any effort about it
