Thinking of switching from Ubuntu to void. What are the trade offs and are they worth it?
I mean you can basically make void like Ubuntu. Its just a barebones system you build yourself so you can make it however you want. The trade off is you have to do it yourself rather than having a complete system out of the box

Because I'm a scrub. show me the way
What is neon? :kannaSippyn:

It's KDE's own distro with the latest releases of Plasma and KDE applications; it's built off of Ubuntu LTS. There were talks about it's future when Canonical decided to tie the knot with Flutter.
Kubuntu is pretty nice out of the box. I never liked Ubuntu all that much until now
There's always a trade-off between magic software and end-user friendliness. Everything's great until something breaks because you're in some edge case not defined in the testing/deployment pipeline. Even Windows suffers from this, and Apple mitigates it by controlling the hardware it's software runs on.

I was thinking of trying out AlterLinux, a Japanese based distro designed to make it easy to install unlike normal arch linux. What do you think? Should I try it out or try out Ubuntu MATE instead?
That sounds like life on hard mode. Maybe I learn Japanese along the way

Mint with Cinnamon is extremely comfy to me, it's the distro I always recommend newcomers.

I tried out KDE Neon recently and I really liked it, but Plasma has a really annoying bug on my laptop where the screen will just glitch for 2 seconds whenever I wake it up from sleep. Apparently it's getting fixed with 5.25, so I'll wait until that's fixed then I'll probably move to Arch + KDE

    You mentioned at the begining that you feel like youre covering a lot of topics at once (eco, psych, anthro). It might be beneficial to go back and chop it up into the different categories to get a clearer picture of what youre going for. Unless youre trying for a single wholistic metaphysic ofc

    It was initially something I wrote to a fellow Agoran in DM's, but which grew to encompass the essence of the larger problem I see as causing this innate sense of anxiety, disaffection, and alienation that you see everywhere in modern society. Upon being restructured into a formal, and more expansive document, it should, I agree, be further broken up into chapters or further subsections. The essence of the missive, if you will, is to identify what causes the spiritual suffering, corpo-conformity of thought, and alienation common in modern society; identify what process created it and in what manner; and lastly to answer, or rather begin to answer, a question that I believe no one has seriously answered before: what should we actually do about it?

    I discuss this possible response in the work I've sent you, and why I believe it is, while noble in sentiment, fundamentally unsustainable in the long or even medium term.

    I don't know if you could call Iceland "extreme ferality"... I mean, it's way out in the boonies, to be sure, but I think they got electricity at least as far back as 2005.
