  • The most important thing people have on Fediverse is freedom of choice and, I hope, of expression. There are countless isolated communities outside of it, corporate or not, which one can use as a safe space when necessary. I really hope this decentralized archipelago will not turn into a) centralized echo chamber, or b) even more decentralized set of very small echo chambers. We need to be able to experience everything that there is, and react to it if/however we like. And for that, we need substantial amount of communities to be federated to everyone else. I hate when some delusional freak praises Mao or Stalin, who literally washed the land with the blood of the innocent and built a new order on their bones. Or when someone writes a trolling(?) post which implies open racism. But I better be able to read those posts than not.




  • I can recommend MX Linux with XFCE. Running it on my second laptop (~10 y/o). Distro is lightweight, easy to use, has x86 build. XFCE desktop environment is light on resources and also pretty customizable if you willing to do a bit of googling (or already know what you’re doing) but looks just a bit outdated. On the other hand - most probably you will be able to do regular stuff like watching videos, listening to music, browsing web with no issues and with reasonable performance. Most MX Linux builds are specifically targeted at older PC.
