    It is very confusing. There’s socially liberal, which is what Americans are usually referring to which is generally progressive, more freedoms for people etc.

    The other liberal is Liberalism which is largely about being in favour of private property, private companies etc. and a free market, which tends to (but not always) correlate with being socially conservative.

    Here in the UK, one of the big parties is the Liberal Democrats, which is a pro-Liberalism centre-right wing party, but because of the name a lot of people confuse them for progressives.








  • I recently tried this for the first time for my grandad on an old dying laptop of his which was struggling to run at any speed.

    During the install it had already messed with the hard drive partitions in order to run the live environment, which is a big no-no for me.

    The whole point of the live environment is it shouldn’t change the system until you try to install!

    It also meant I no longer had a free partition to install to anymore so I couldn’t even get through the installer since I also couldn’t resize etc. because the partition was in use.

    Been using Debian/Ubuntu based Linux for about 20 years and never seen this issue until Pop! OS
