  • Moor is racist in German?

    Only if you have no real problems in life…

    “Mohr” is pretty anachronistic but in itself not discriminatory or a slur. Up until somewhat recently (say, at least up until the 2000s) it was not uncommon to find it in product names or mascots (“Mohrenköpfe”, the “Sarotti Mohr”). I would say it is much tamer than the german word “Neger” (which in itself is also not a slur, but … less desireable).







  • Well, i use the same PC (an old HP 7800 “convertible Minitower”) now since about 2010 with various versions of Debian… in the last 15 years i honestly did not have any problems. But the stuff that i do is also pretty boring:

    • Office stuff (started with open office, since about 5 years libreoffice)
    • Mail (Claws-Mail… it works)
    • Webbrowsing (Firefox)
    • Image editing (Gimp)
    • Watching videos and stuff with VLC
    • 3D rendering with Povray
    • Playing various native Linux games

    Soooo… perhaps its the old hardware, perhaps its my boring behaviour of not changing anything as long as it works, but here everything works flawlessly for well over a decade.
