Les Russes progressent en #Ukraine depuis début mai de 30 à 70 km2 par jour. Comme il est impossible de nier ce fait puisque grâce aux drones et au satellites on suit leur progression au mètre près, les désinformateurs qui peuplent nos médias disent "oui ils avancent mais avec des pertes colossales", sous-entendu cela ne peut pas durer longtemps; les anglais parlent même de 700 000 tués du coté Russe c'est à dire l'ensemble des forces russes engagées. Plus c'est gros plus cela passe auprès d'un public inculte des choses de la guerre.
C'est d'autant plus n'importe quoi que l'on sait précisément la tactique que les Russes utilisent pour progresser ainsi.
Face à une armée ukrainienne exsangue qui n'arrive plus à compenser ses pertes (tués, blessés, prisonniers et déserteurs), les chefs russes choisissent les points les moins bien défendus de la ligne de front, les font écraser par des frappes massives de missiles, de bombes planantes, d'obus d'artillerie et de drones kamikazes. Une fois la résistance assommée des éléments légers des forces spéciales ou des parachutistes neutralisent ou font prisonniers les survivants. En moyenne les Russes ne perdent ainsi que 3 à 5 tués par jour.
Cela amène les Russes à contourner les grands centres de résistance plus coûteux en vies humaines à conquérir que sont les villes de plus de 5000 habitants comme Pokrovsk (7000 h avant la guerre) puis à les encercler suffisamment pour couper leurs lignes d', ce qui amène les défenseurs à se replier avant d'être totalement pris au piège qu'ils reçoivent ou pas ce qui est souvent le cas cet ordre de repli.
It is very commonplace to blame reversals and even defeats in America’s various wars of choice as merely a matter of lack of will. If America really wanted to win, it would win, the story goes; the failure of the US is just one where it never commits the force necessary to finish the fight. But today, that excuse rings hollow. Trump’s Operation Rough Rider, unlike Biden’s operations, utilised many of America’s most limited, expensive, and advanced weapons to try to bring the Houthis to heel. And still it surrendered. The lessons here are thus quite bleak. America’s preferred and increasingly only viable method of warfare — aerial warfare — is no longer cost-effective nor practical. But the US has no alternative modes of warfare to fall back on, which means that its days as a military hegemon are probably coming to a close.
"Israeli troops have opened fire near thousands of hungry Palestinians as a logistics group chosen by Israel to ship food into Gaza lost control of its distribution centre on its second day of operations" theguardian.com/world/2025/may… This is pretty much exactly what actual humanitarian aid workers and organizations said would happen when the bogus "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" was created to further weaponize the starvation Netanyahu and gang have explicitly intentionally created for the civilian population as a method of warfare. That was why the UN and all serious aid organizations denounced it and refused having anything to do with this quite obvious intentional disaster-amplifying "humanitarian aid".
The latest from Doctors without Borders (MSF) is a "statement from Christopher Lockyear, MSF Secretary General, outlines why the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's approach to distributing aid in Gaza, Palestine, is dangerous and reckless" that it "confirmed that the US-Israel plan to instrumentalise aid is ineffective": msf.org/dehumanising-and-ineff…
Doctors without Borders (MSF) this latest Sunday: 'Dozens of Palestinians massacred at US-Israel backed food distribution sites [..] ”People fought over five pallets. They told us to take food—then they fired from every direction,” says Mansour Sami Abdi, a father of four, who described the chaos. ”I ran 200 metres before realising I’d been shot. This isn’t aid. It’s a lie. Are we supposed to go get food for our kids and die?”' Mansour Sami Abdi, a father of four who was shot' msf.org/dozens-palestinians-ma…
"Israel kills 31 aid seekers, injures 200 in mass shooting at Rafah distribution point" madamasr.com/en/2025/06/01/new… (on Sunday, but I was sick so inactive then)
Thirty-one people were killed in the early hours of Sunday morning at an aid distribution point in Rafah, south Gaza, where Israeli forces once again opened fire on aid seekers waiting to pick up supplies.
"At least 27 Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded by Israeli fire near a food distribution site in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, local health authorities said" theguardian.com/world/live/202… "UN says 'deadly attacks' around Gaza aid sites 'a war crime' AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/israelgazawar…
"Israel warns Palestinians against travel on roads to Gaza aid hubs, labelling them ‘combat zones’ [...] ‘prohibited’ for Palestinians" theguardian.com/world/2025/jun… Yeah, of course the Palestinians should just teleport like everyone else to get to the sham, weaponized, "humanitarian aid" war crime targeting areas.
This is wrong. The starvation of Palestinians in Gaza is a Hamas strategy, not an Israeli strategy.
Israel has had, for decades, the choice of supporting people who support terrorists, or not. They supported them.
Hamas went from being terrorists to being an enemy at war. Supporting the Palestinians wasn't working, so Israel stopped. The responsibility lies with Hamas and the Palestinians.

Lyrics: Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly
Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call, baby, night and day I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you
Time goes by so slowly for those who wait No time to hesitate Those who run seem to have all the fun I'm caught up, I don't know what to do
Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly I don't know what to do
Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call, baby, night and day I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call, baby, night and day I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you
Ring, ring, ring goes the telephone The lights are on, but there's no one home Tick tick tock, it's a quarter to two And I'm done, I'm hanging up on you
I can't keep on waiting for you I know that you're still hesitating Don't cry for me, 'cause I'll find my way You'll wake up one day, but it'll be too late
Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call, baby, night and day I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call, baby, night and day I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you
Every little thing, every little thing I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call, waiting for your call I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you
Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly Time goes by so slowly, so slowly So slowly, so slowly, so slowly So slowly, so slowly, so slowly So slowly, so slowly, so slowly So slowly, so slowly, so slowly, so... I don't know what to do
Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call, baby, night and day I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call, baby, night and day I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you
Every little thing, every little thing I'm hung up, I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call, waiting for your call I'm fed up, I'm tired of waiting on you

Hello guys i have a qustion about which distro i should use?
I want to dual boot windows and linux
I just want a safe place away from microsoft eyes to do edit and drawing and other hobbies on my pc. And playing some games like cs2 & 2d games Also the distro run my wallpaper engine Should be popular distro so if i have a problem i can ask about it
Please dont tell me linux mint because i tried it 3 times and everytime i do anything simple the distro goes off and i should re install i won't give it anymore chances thank you 😖
Edit: thank you guys for typing your suggests. after some search i will give bazzite try and if won't work like i want. I will go with the other suggests I really enjoyed reading all your suggests
Based on your last paragraph, you might fall in the supernoob catergory. You'll want an immutable distribution, you can't break those Unless you tell it to let you break it.
As a windows user, you'll find familiarity in Fedora Kionite.
If you prefer a touchscreen oriented experience consider Fedora Silverblue.
There's a few other options on the page I'm linking, I haven't tried and therefore can't recommend either of the others.
OP in your post you state you want Wallpaper Engine to work, [https://www.protondb.com/app/431960?device=any](unfortunately, you'll have issues there). Depending on what you're trying to accomplish with wallpaper engine you may be able to do the same using KDE Plasma. I personally use a VLC command line call to enable animated wallpapers on my rig, there's not exactly a standard for it on Linux so many of the solutions you find will be clunky. Just remember if you go around messing with your xorg.conf file you need to have a backup of it so you can undo changes easily in a terminal.
People seem to love bazzite, is it all its cracked up to be?
I'm happy with my lmde htpc/server/gamingrig/clusterfuck so I'm not planning on changing, but I've been in the market for a handheld gaming PC and its been on my list to try.
As a noob I really like it. I ran popOS for almost a year, then arch for like two months. I tried fedora for like a week before arch but then decided to try bazzite on a little htpc for the living room, then put it on my main gaming desktop, now I have it on my laptop where I edit photos and videos as a hobby and its been pretty solid.
I don't really like that it wants you to use flatpaks for everything, since darktable as a flatpaks kept crashing and rapid photo downloaded didn't have a flatpak so I ended up installing stuff with the ostree rpm but rapid photo is old and not sure how to update it to current version
I put Bazzite on an Intel n100 box I'm using as an HTPC. Super easy install and it was ready to go and working just fine very quickly. Jellyfin works really well! It really is quite incredible how far things have come since my first install of Ubuntu 14.04. Atomic could really make some headway on making Linux easy for a typical user. Wine has come a LOOOONG way help keep compatibility too.
Way better than my Ubuntu desktop. The only thing hold me back on putting an atomic distro on my desktop is not familiar with how things like Python venvs would work for development. That and I use a global hotkey program for Team speak since they haven't updated to handle Wayland global keys.
The age old question. You have to understand that Linux the kernel is made in such a way that anything built on top of it will always require way too much from the user. It feels like something made from programmers for programmers, just like how UNIX was designed. No distro will be able to change that. Windows is packed with bandaids to make it behave closer to what users expect, but anything that comes from UNIX has it's focus in making the code nice, not making ordinary users happy necessarily.
So picking a distro is entirely a choice on how you wanna interact with the kernel's interfaces, but they're still the same interfaces. No pretty UI will change that.
Just make sure that the distro you choose has a mature community behind it and that packages are being actively maintained. Make sure that if you file a bug report it will get some attention. That's the only thing you should care about in a distro, everything else is flashy nonsense.
Edit: Also as you can see by the replies to my comment, Linux is kind of a cult, so beware of that.
Android runs an only slightly modified Linux kernel, and yet the OS requires much less from the user than e.g. Windows or MacOS.
Chromebooks run a bog-standard Linux kernel and the target audience is kids.
My car's entertainment system runs a standard Linux kernel, and the UX is so cut down that PC expertise really doesn't matter when using it.
MacOS and iOS, two systems known for their ease of use, both stem from BSD, which comes from Unix.
The kernel has nothing to do with this.
In fact, the only mainstream kernel used in user-facing operating systems that doesn't "come from Unix" is Windows. Everything else is derived either from Linux or BSD, which both are derived from Unix.
There isn't even a mainstream phone OS anymore that doesn't "come from Unix".
I used Ubuntu for a long time. It is convenient because it is very popular and there is a lot of software available for installation without any extra steps. However, I think it has become quite overloaded. I have been using Fedora with KDE for a relatively long time and I am very satisfied. I use it as my main home and work operating system. It has proven to be very stable. I am engaged in software development, so I use it very actively, and I am happy with it. it meets all my needs. I think You could consider Fedora.
Because Canonical put a lot of effort into usability. Pretty much all of the popular recommended beginner distributions are Ubuntu based. Examples: Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin, Elementary.
People will recommend other stuff, often that are loved by varioius enthusists but these may or may not be that suitable for beginners. Call me skeptical.
I use and recommend Ubuntu because it is easy to install, use, and just works. It is also widely supported and very popular. The one thing I do not like about it is the Snap focus. I would love to recommend Linux Mint but last time I used it major distribution upgrades from the GUI were not supported. Have no idea if they fixed that. Ubuntu upgrades are the click of a button. In my family there are nontechnical users and they have used it for almost 20 years just fine without much help from me.
On the other hand I use Debian if I intend to custom configure something and want a minimal install to start from. Major upgrades on Debian are not a click of a button. On the other hand Debian is not Snap based. My workstation and VPS are Debian for example.
Upgrades. To do a major upgrade on Debian you go into the command line. You first adjust the appropriate files in /etc/apt. Then you run a bunch of apt commands.
Ubuntu you are asked if you want to upgrade to a new release and just say yes.
I’m always shocked by all the recommendations to use Mint. It feels dated and ugly. Admittedly, I migrated from Mac, but how abused must you Windows users be to find Mint a suitable replacement? I personally wound up with Zorin OS and recommend it. The software store makes installing apps from multiple sources tolerable. It’s also got a nice UI and you can easily change it.
I personally don't see much value of Mint or Ubuntu over Debian.
They all suffer from the safe issue: lack of a user repository. This means any layman is going to immediately be turned off by the distro and the whole Linux experience as soon as they want to install something that isn't in their distro's repository.
I agree. People should raise their standards… the message is if you’re switching to Linux, shouldn’t be “just be glad to have a distribution that just works.” I think we’ll need a better sales pitch if that’s the case.
I had no issues with Zorin from a “it just works” perspective and I run an NVidia GPU. And, it also looks good. Like Mint, it’s also based on Ubuntu, but without the Windows XP era UI.
Also, the UI can either be in “has a start menu” or “has a Mac dock” mode.
Now to the question which distro, honestly it does not matter YET!
You probably don't even know what a distro is (no offense) but what you did highlight clearly are the needs, namely :
playing games
popular
not Mint because somehow it breaks (would be VERY important to understand why though)
... so that actually narrows things down quite a bit.
The most popular distribution are the easiet to find (I'm on Debian and SteamOS so I use Arch BTW) and that's a safe choice indeed. Playing games does not narrow things down much as most distro, if not all, do not prevent against playing game and IMHO the optimization specific to gaming are pretty much pointless in most cases.
Your edit point that you are trying a distribution already so yes, please, do go for it. I do suggest though that WHEN things go wrong, like it did with Mint, you take the time to understand WHY. This in itself will help you to either switch to another distribution and arguably more importantly what even is a distribution and finally which one of the remaining ones (if you do actually switch rather than fix) are more appropriate for you.
Finally my last recommendation is to back up your data. That's what IMHO make the difference between having fun distro hopping versus pulling hair out stressing that your last game save, or work notebooks, will not be deleted.
Your last point i learn it in the hard why and for the post i just wanted to see people suggests because everyone i asked near me says linux mint and i really hate it because what happened with me i already said what happened in the comments so i won't again
I get that but at this point shouldn't we get more people on this side. Like I think redhad and canonical are infinitely better than microsoft. Lesser of 2 evils and all. Who knows one day they may start using arch (btw)
Obviously you can't completely rid yourself of all RedHat influence but Fedora is their literal upstream community testing ground and LMDE really does limit their influence heavily and that of Canonical (Ubuntu) by just building off of the more community based Debian (which Ubuntu built off of as well)
While I agree with your point I don't think a lot of people will be open to that cause they may not be aware of base distros and all that and in the end it would seem like you're not listening to them.
I suggest BazziteOS. I have it installed on 2 of my computers for about a year and it works great. It runs KDE and it looks similar to Windows but is much better. Also, I believe it has support for Wallpaper Engine, though I haven't tried it.
It is Fedora based and Fedora also has a sizeable community for any questions and tutorials you may have.
The reason why I recommend Bazziteos is because it comes out of the box ready for gaming, you would have steam, wine, lutris, etc installed almost instantly and ready to play.
I just finished downloading bazzite and now creating a backup on flash for both bazzite and windows using ventoy because i know myself i will do something stupid to make me re install systems
Chances are that, if you do break something, it'll be on the Windows side.
Bazzite is very solid for new users as it's very convoluted to access and modify anything system related.
Having said that, if you have any intention to learn how to use Linux distros, and eventually remove Microsoft from your life, immutable distros like Bazzite will limit you dramatically, so I suggest you start with a regular "mutable" distro. Now, if your intention is just to have something that works, scape Windows every now and then, and come back to Windows, it's hard to beat an immutable distro.
I suggest you to check out Linux Mint Cinnamon edition. I have been using it for years without any problems. I also have dual boot with Windows, but I think I will delete Windows soon and use only Linux.
My name is none of your business, and I approve this suggestion.
For most of us using Linux distros for years, we already have a preferred distro that is highly unlikely to be Ubuntu or even Debian based, but for first-timers, I honestly believe Mint is the way to go. But seeing how mint has been a flop for you (as another poster said, it'd be great to know what went wrong) an immutable distro (like Bazzite) would fit your current needs better, but these distros are not the best way to start learning about Linux and eventually migrate from Windows entirely.
It’s 2025, if you’ve got the space to dual boot, you’ve got space for snapshots. There’s no reason not to set them up. Btrfs, ZFS, LVM, pick your poison. Disk is cheap, your time isn't.
And if “simple stuff” is breaking your system, that tells me three things:
You’re still using apt-get instead of apt
You’re ignoring dependency warnings
You’re probably not fully understanding the commands you’re running — so RTFM
So yeah, I will be telling you to use Mint, with at LEAST daily snapshots.
theres a new one made by a microsoft enginer as a project called Anduin OS it is very simmilar to windows based on ubuntu it can be downloaded at anduinos.com/ and a video by mental outlaw can be found at inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=bQAUFgS… i personally never tried it and it is a hobby project but it looks promising
AnduinOS is a custom Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that aims to facilitate developers transitioning from Windows to Linux by maintaining familiar operational habits and workflows.
It's worth noting that fedora is heavily sponsored by RedHat (a subsidiary of IBM) and is the upstream testing ground for RHEL (Redhats commercial offering). RedHat also has close ties to Israels government and it's military.
This is a huge dealbreaker for someone like me so I feel it's necessary to mention.
Not to get into politics but the whole point of Linux is about being open and used by anyone from anywhere. I wouldn’t be surprised to see various parts of the Linux kernel, drivers, etc developed/funded by people from Israel, Russia, and many many other countries.
Edit: the point of this message, this type of approach to your OS choice will ultimately result in throwing your PC in the trash if you dig deep enough.
There is a vast difference between a community driven project like Debian taking small contributions from people who happen to be in Israel/incorporating some things from RedHat after lots of vetting and diluting and Fedora being a direct upstream testing ground for RedHat who are the primary contributors and maintainers.
No, this type of approach will not lead to you throwing your PC in the trash, it will simply lead to you being more aware of your software and how it functions,what it contributes to, and what contributes to it. Which is a good thing imo.
For example, I use LMDE. Yes, there are most definitely contributions from redhat in my machine. the difference is between
I'm not saying you need to stop using Fedora. But everyone draws a line somewhere and I'm simply making my knowledge on this known for people who's line may be in a similar place to mine.
I don't know exactly why writing from the 1700s and 1800s was markedly superior in quality than that of modern books. But I think this might be a clue. (Below: Pictures of my three volume 1796 copy of, "History of the Reign of Emperor Charles the Fifth - With a View of the Progress of Society in Europe from the Subversion of the Roman Empire, to the Beginning of the 16th Century" by William Robertson).
The enlightenment thinkers in the Universities would start their books by addressing an audience to the King, who would be the patron of the arts and sciences in the various principalities of Europe. This sets the tone for the work in terms of quality and gravity, and gives the author an incentive to be forthcoming and concise with the fruits of their labors.
The monarchs would actually read these books and would bestow honors upon the most worthy performances. There was no time for bullshit, or trying to dazzle other intellectuals with fruitless abstraction. Your audience was the king!
There has been remarkably little resistance from the American establishment since the start of the Trump presidency. Congress has remained exceptionally inactive and quiet, while Trump governs mostly through executive order. It almost seems as though the American establishment recognizes the fact that this country cannot move any further forward, at this juncture, without conceding the rise of a powerful executive to bring a degree of coherence and order to the nation.
Insofar as universities are concerned, Trump is striking the very highest collegiate institutions of the nation. Once the Ivy Leagues have been brought to heel, the rest will follow. So far 2.2 billion in endowments are frozen at Harvard, no international students are permitted to enter or return, and now the remaining $450 million in grants are being cancelled.
How is President Trump doing this? A power argument from the Federalist Society claims that the Constitution gave exclusive power to the congress to pass bills authorizing the raising of taxes and the expenditure of treasure, however, it is the discretion, prerogative and privilege of the executive branch, to choose whether and where the funds are actually disbursed. The Trump Administration is using this constitution prerogative to govern in a much more arbitrary and lively fashion than has been the custom of previous presidents.
This will be an unstoppable precedent, and a salutary transition away from unchecked oligarchy, and towards the normalization of a strong and independent executive power structure. A feat which many did not think possible within the constraints of the current constitution. Once the executive has gathered sufficient power, the Oligarchy will not be able to turn things back around.
Excerpt from the Article:
" 'Going forward, we also encourage your agency to seek alternative vendors for future services where you had previously considered Harvard,' reads the letter, signed by Josh Gruenbaum, the commissioner of the GSA's Federal Acquisition Service. "
The other obvious reason that congress has not been vigorously attacking Trump is that the state of Israel is facing an existential crisis. It seems as though Trump has made a "deal with the devil" so to speak, essentially telling Israel, if you let me have my way with things, I won't pull the plug on Israel. Hence the full might of the Israel Lobby is being used to restrain congress from attacking Trump, and any democrats who do step out of line and attempt to impeach him are quickly brought to heel.
Nowadays, a suit and tie is almost universally, unconsciously recognized as the uniform of someone who deceives and manipulates for a living. With some exceptions, the wearing of a suit is actually harmful to a person's reputation, hence they have gone out of fashion in wider society.
Some of the exceptions for a positive image associated with a suit would be the Russian KGB or the American Secret Service, where calculated manners and tactics are generally socially acceptable to the public at large.
From the gilded era, all the way up to FDR's new deal in 1933, western populations tried to emulate the elites by wearing suits in their day to day lives, at least when going to town. The respect for wealth and capital has decreased since then, to such an extent, that one is laughed at for wearing formal clothing, even while rich.
Formal wear is supposed to express a few different things, and can express some things more than another, depending on it's features. On the one hand there is the expression of personal sophistication and wealth, and yet on the other hand formal wear may express a sense of civic duty, respect paid, or a formal role a person carries in a society.
Even as personal ostentation has gone out of fashion, a person taking their duties seriously has not. Hence, formal wear, moving forward should strive to emphasize a person's role in a society rather than their personal qualities.
This begs the question, if a person wishes to leave the house in something more presentable than jeans and a t-shirt, which is the most common thing to wear in America, what sort of wardrobe is befitting? What kind of formal wear expresses the conscientious citizen and/or warrior of the republic rather than ostentatious wealth and/or sophistication?
