  • I could use flatpak to get the newest version, but could I then get rid of the pre installed old version?

    Of course you can and if you decide to go down this route you should take a look at Flatseal that can help you with flatpak permissions and theming.

    debian’s default graphics look also prehistoric. Can I change that installing other styles?

    Debian installs Desktop Environments without any theming, just plain vanilla DEs and in most cases, expecially with XFCE, they are not that pretty out of the box. You can still theme it to look and work the way you prefer.

    with debian you are asked to choose the environment: xfce, mate… how troublesome is to change those after installation?

    sudo apt install new-desktop-environment, log out and log back in selecting a different desktop in the display manager: piece of cake

    This doesn’t mean that xubuntu has bloatware, but simply much more pre installed packages, right?

    Keep in mind that the 0.7gb debian image is the “netinstall”, which pulls software from repository instead of installing it directly. There are also debian “DVD” images that can be up to 4gb as well. And yes, Xubuntu has more bloatware but not as much as you might believe











  • In this case I’m taking the word “greatest” more as “biggest/most impactful” and not necessarily “most good”

    Yeah that’s what I meant, I agree with the topic of “it might be what started workers exploitation”, but what I’m talking about is “it’s an invention/discovery that was so powerful to shift the natural behaviour of a species”. We’re not even talking about antropology now, it’s an etological impact and there haven’t been many others in our history




  • It has a really messy plot with fast paced dialogue and subtle details that you can miss, I also remember my first time seeing it and being like “wtf is going on?”

    As I said, the second time I saw it years later, I already knew the general direction of the movie so I could focus on the single characters and let me tell you: there’s a reason why there are a bunch of people quoting it all the time, every line of the script is like a meme, everything is so iconic
