Yeah she went with a healthy point and then drove it weird

She took a perfectly fine point (toys can be used in sex and enrich the play)...and then formulated in a way that would indeed be off-putting to plenty of guys.

Toys should not become LeBron James of your sex, "earning more points" and leaving partner on the sideline. They should be useful assistants at reaching the peak pleasure.

As long as the point is "my partner can drive me even hornier with this" - it is super healthy and great. But when the toy itself becomes the focus, it's not great. She could masturbate much to the same success.

Porn can be healthy, and can be enjoyed responsibly. But then, so can be many other things.

Seriously though, I had times when condoms strained my budget quite a lot

It was like: do I buy this 12-pack or do I rather eat in the next 4 days?

of course it was condoms all the way

Fair! Especially as a server software

I appreciate Debian being the community distro, but other than that, how's it much better?

Arch broke for me quite fast any time I tried to run it. I have no idea how to manage Arch properly without being a red-eyed nerd constantly checking forums for broken updates and other notes.

Nah, OpenSUSE/Fedora require very little maintenance too - the only thing separating them from Mint is more knowledge required to set them up the right way. Terminal has more use there.

So, I'd expect you to confidently operate either at home without much work. You have competence, and neither requires your constant attention.

Tumbleweed might be a bit of a hard start, since it assumes you already know a bunch of nuances. But I'm happy that you were ready to learn and grasped it from the get-go!

Hope you'll have your software figured out

Which is exactly what OpenSUSE/Fedora have to offer. It just works and doesn't get in the way. The only real difference between them and Mint in terms of user experience is that they require some more proficiency with the terminal and experience with Linux overall and do not assume user to be a complete newbie.

So, you're on the right track with Mint. It holds to nearly the same philosophy, and offers you the tools you may find useful as a less proficient user. Keep it up!

As someone who ran Manjaro as my first Linux for 1,5 years, it's a breeze to set up and everything just works...until it doesn't.

What screws it is that eventually, over time, something goes wrong. Something breaks here and there, new bugs appear, and without Arch proficiency that is not really expected of a Manjaro user, it's next to impossible to track it down. So, eventually one has to reinstall.

I've been a strong Manjaro proponent back in the day, but now I see its flaws, unfortunately. I wish it could be a great option, though.

Except Fedora is actually fine as an option. Though I had my share of troubles setting it up, and their decision to ditch X11 forced my hand to OpenSUSE when I went for it the second time. Had no regrets so far.
