        I mean, I dual-boot Mint now. And at least you don’t come after me for DOS, because that would get me defensive…

          it’s a Chinese distro that looks very pretty but pays a heavy performance penalty

              well the thing is it’s open source. that is no guarantee for safety but with some popularity it’s as close as it gets. many people would probably love to write a paper about the Cybersecurity of deepin - especially if there are juicy issues.

            Ah, absolutely not worth it then. I prefer to keep RAM free for games and video rendering.

              i had this DE for a while and liked it. for example it has a simple right click menu for per-application-scaling as far as i remember. and it’s pretty.

              but yeah not exactly something for gaming.

          Weirdly, DOS is sacred, here. Probably because none of us are forced to use it anymore.
