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.
Yes, 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.
I think Koreader has built in progress sync.
General convention is that /media is for removable media that is automounted and that /mnt is for permanent devices. Some distros automount to /run/media instead of /media though.
Convention aside, you can mount to anywhere you like.
The only written reviews it shows are industry ones from OpenCritic.
It shows a user rating out of 5 stars but no idea how that is derived.
It’s just perfectly anti-customer.
The new CEO isn’t talking about the AI that’s already in Firefox. He’s talking about more AI with greater integration.
“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.
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.
Proton Mail Bridge + Thunderbird works fine yeah. That’s what I use.
He did a good job with that tool of the establishment!
He’s also a thief of course, as that’s the only way to become a billionaire.
I looked into ready made NAS machines but wasn’t sold on the software that came with them. Ended up building a small PC and installing OpenMediaVault on it which I have been super happy with.
Depending on how many HDD bays you need you can just buy a refurbished office Dell or HP and it’ll do the job more than adequately.
Seems like an absolute ripoff.
