Distro suggestions for a dumb-dumb who only knows linux through meme osmosis in c/linux@lemmy.ml

It mostly just depends on how you want your desktop to look. They have screenshots of each on their website. Since it sounds like you have a new laptop, power won't be an issue for you. (If you were trying to run Mint on something with the power of a potato, a lighter DE would be a good idea.) Personally I love how Cinnamon looks and feels. It's pretty simple, but also modern and customizable.

Is the moon a planet? | Live Science (www.livescience.com)
 

"Whether or not the moon is a planet actually depends on who you ask," Skylar Grayson, an astronomer at Arizona State University, told Live Science. The 2006 IAU definition "draws a fairly arbitrary line between planets and dwarf planets that (in)famously led to the demotion of Pluto," she added. "Some planetary scientists thus elect to consider different definitions of planets, some of which include Pluto and the other dwarf planets, and others that even include the moon."

There are a good few things in this article that seem like long-shots, but since it's Berger talking about I feel like this could be serious!

The curse of end-of-year NET dates is certainly worrying. Still, I have a feeling Vast is moving pretty fast at least relative to the other space station companies. No source, just a hunch.

I think the sh.itjust.works instance would be a good home. Personally I don't feel very passionate about this area so I just post stuff when it's relevant and disregard when I I don't care too much.

This particular story is hilarious. Spaceflight memes might be a good home for it lol

Anyone interested in starting a military space community page? There's an increasing amount of news and it might be nice to separate it from scientific/civilian spaceflight.

So awesome to see Orbcomm-2 and Falcon Heavy in the top 5! I thought it was hilarious that Artemis I was in 25th place lol

I love Vast's approach. I wish them best of luck and can't wait to see how well they execute!
