The Ramen Dutchman

As someone who’s come back to Mint after distro hopping several times, welcome home 💚

Gaming on a beginner friendly OS? Pop OS Absolute Gaming®️ (but your OS is a lil’ quirky)? Bazzite, all the way!

Because most of them are normies that hardly know anything else exists

True, though I guess they don’t change the OS (only the repos), and don’t advertise/celebrate it as much…

But complaining or anything, just thinking “out loud” why people could feel this way about Debian but not Mint

I don’t think I’ve ever run into those here in the Netherlands. Perhaps it’s common enough to withdraw and deposit cash here, and it’s uncommon to deposit cash in some Asian countries? Maybe there’s random laws against things I don’t know of, I wouldn’t be surprised if we require ATMs to work both ways here even if people rarely use them 🤷‍♂️

Nope, they’re completely separate distro families!

Because Mint does release minor releases every 6 months

just have stock I use as collateral for a loan

Maybe stuff you can’t pay with also shouldn’t be allowed to loan money with. I know it currently does work like that, I’m just saying it shouldn’t, because this creates so many loopholes.

My favourite part is the updater and I miss it in other distros. I don’t always want to update blindly, I hate it about Windows and Arch and NixOS don’t fare much better OOTB. Mint’s updater shows you what can be updated, the from and to versions, how much data would be transferred, and most importantly the changelog of each part!

I genuinely appreciate I can go through these, uninstall anything I don’t use anymore and learn what new things will come to my computer!

At least having this option beats "Build 16553 is downloading several gigs over your hotspot, it’s important to do this now trust us” from Windows 😒

Reading through it I see some good points but… What’s the alternative? Isn’t Ollama still the least of evils (by far)?

Not? Then what are they supposed to do other than converting digital and cash money?

You can load your own ringtones, but you have to use a Mac or Windows computer with iTunes. I did this years ago to help my old rocker mum to have Born To Be Wild as her ringtone on her iPhone (13?).

Without following your link, it reads like you want your car to sound like“dwiomp”! I had a healthy chuckle

TBH it seems dangerous to listen to a podcast without oncoming traffic blaring through it, as fisch@lemmy.world wants.

Then why are Kawasakis much less noisy? I thought it was for the Harley’s owner’s inflated ego?

I concur, my 7-year old laptop can run most light DEs flawlessly, such as Cinnamon, XFCE and i3, no matter the Linux distro or kernel. It struggles with even a fresh Debian GNOME install.

Which part made you say that? (genuine question, their comment just seems well written to me, is all)

I mean, it’s open source software and someone ported it, so there’s a client, simple as.

This one makes it look cool, damn!

Well, their currency.
