It’s hilariously depressing how the generation that raised us to “not believe everything you read on the internet” now believes everything they read on the internet.

Technically, yes, but only in that your battery can be explosive, given the right circumstances. Really, they’re more highly combustible than explosive. They can burn very very hot and very quickly, but they won’t detonate.

California recently increased minimum wage, and despite this, people still live there.

The longer they put it off, the more unnoticed it will go when they finally do it.

I love Debian, but I’d still put it more in the advanced category than Ubuntu. Not much, but it does rely more on the user understanding how Linux systems work.

Yeah, for newbies I always recommend sticking to the big distros meant for ease of use. Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint, Pop, or openSUSE. Only once you’re familiar would I recommend venturing into the harder and lesser known distros.

Once you pick one of those, you can download a “spin” or “edition” for the desktop environment you want. So, you’d want Lubuntu for Ubuntu+LXQt.
