Why do people act like not using a gas powered stove is akin to stripping away some fundamental right?

I grew up in a part of the world where electric stoves are the vast vast majority and have been since the introduction of electricity. We cook just fine. Chill.

Wanna know where this cruel, backwards part of the world is? It’s fucking Tennessee.

Me, I use it.

In fact, his sentiment of “Linux mint for everyone else, MX Linux for me” is my exact philosophy.

I started using it for this shitty old system I was using as an HTPC. Then I tried it on my main system (using the KDE flavor), and I love it. Everything just works. Most stable system I’ve ever used. And, the MX tools are great. I can change the bootloader settings so easy. I try other distros, and I always wind up missing some small feature from the tools.

I like that I can set my password as [nothing] right from the installer. Why do all the other installers fight you for that? Sure there are ways around it with the command line, but I don’t even need them in MX.

Because I didn’t know they were releasing an update the next day.

I did a fresh install of MX Linux 23 on Saturday. AMA.

Since we’re correcting spelling, might as well go for grammar too. It should be “who” here. An easy way to tell is to replace whom with “him” (or who with “he”) and see if the sentence still makes sense.

I would just like to take this opportunity to let people know that the creator of Damn Small Linux has revived the project recently with a larger but modern yet still damn small distro.

(It has a GUI and stuff, so it’s significantly bigger than the distro in the video.)

I’m in my mid 30s. Nothing has changed here in that time. SE USA just does not have gas infrastructure.

Also, I’ve never heard the word “hob” in my life. A quick Google seems to show that is what we call a “stove top” or a “stove burner” or “stove eye.”

Growing up, every stove I saw had these:

You still see those, but these days this type is more common:

Interesting map. I am very solidly in the yellow.

I grew up in rural SE USA and now live in metro SE USA. I have seen gas fireplaces, but they are more of a luxury item and not used for heating. The people who do have them have a gas storage tank on their property, usually.

I find these articles so odd. I have never once in my life seen a gas appliance outside of a campground.
