I've used debian on and off since the late 90s, what stands out about bookworm? They've been mostly the same to me, not that that's a bad thing.

Yikes. Was this ever resolved? That was from march last year.

Is the out-of-the-box quality of desktop-focused Linux distros declining recently? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

On the other hand if you grab the Pop OS nvidia iso, I bet it'll just work. Had no issues with Mint either, other than having to install the driver. Based on recent installs I've done with a 3080.

What was your first distribution? in c/linux@lemmy.world

RedHat in the mid-late 90s here too. It wasn't a great time for the linux desktop haha. I think I used afterstep or windowmaker back then. RPM hell was bad and hosed my system enough that Debian was like a savior with apt-get. Never really looked back from debian based systems since.

Having to make a new account because I wanted to see NSFW on another instance was kind of a mood killer. Not sure how that could be done better but I really don't want to be making other accounts.

This is a very good question - when I'm troubleshooting things my default search pattern is: " 2023 reddit", because 99% of the other search results are pure garbage.
