2 hours agoYes, I know Mint is downstream of Ubuntu, that’s how I know it doesn’t include Snaps. What exactly other “nonsense” is there or was your statement just a general LMDE puritan hand-wave?

Which Ubuntu stuff does Mint Cinnamon have? I thought the point of Mint was that they removed a bunch of that stuff like Snaps.

It shows a user rating out of 5 stars but no idea how that is derived.
It’s just perfectly anti-customer.

“Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.”
Meanwhile, also in Texas, the police will trawl cameras nationwide to track you if you get an abortion. I guess it’s OK as long as it’s their surveillance network.
Private trackers are the WoW raiding guilds of piracy xD
It was a couple of years ago. Continuing enshittification of Windows pissed me off enough to look into it (10/11 restricting of options, CoPilot, various bloat etc).
2 years later, i’m running Mint on my laptop, Arch on my desktop, a server with OpenMediaVault and a miniPC with Batocera. My computer life has never been better!
To be fair, most people who use Windows are ignorant of any of this stuff so while I guess they are technically part of the problem (debatably), it’s not knowingly. With that in mind it seems unwise to tar them all with the same brush and set them up as the enemy if we hope to convince any of them to abandon it.
Damn, didn’t know my jaw could hit the floor for 43mins straight.
I use a remote like this that has a pointer function and a keyboard on the back.

Proton Mail Bridge + Thunderbird works fine yeah. That’s what I use.
He did a good job with that tool of the establishment!

Yeah, totally different vibe here on Lemmy I’m happy to say. There are helpful people on Reddit too of course just few and far between depending on the sub.
Reddit is shit now. PCMR is just memes and weird Linux vs Windows rivalry, Piracy sub is just memes and moral grandstanding, most gaming subs are just bots posting “news” articles, AIO/AITAH are just karma farming for people selling accounts or fanfic quality fantasies, many Linux subs are either insufferably elitist, have a weird fetish for distro-hopping or are just circlejerks (looking at you r/linuxmint).
The only thing it’s still good for is niche interests which I doubt will remain the case for long.
Fair enough, I totally agree about Ubuntu, although Mint doesn’t have most of the bad Ubuntu stuff. What it does benefit from is Ubuntu’s superior hardware support, PPAs (most important for up-to-date Mesa) and GUI stuff like Driver Manager/Update Manager. For a beginner or casual user there’s no contest.
