Honestly, given that Mint is a Debian distro (before anyone yells at me, its an Ubuntu distro that itself is a Debian distro) it will work better out of the box on less up to date hardware. Debian prioritizes stability so it’s repos and drivers are months to years old. Older hardware will have stable working drivers meanwhile new hardware may have to work with experimental or generic drivers.

If you want spiritual try templeos

To some people, like half the comments and myself included, think the idea is that it’s cool. The playdate doesn’t solve any problems, it adds a gimmick to an existing format and its cool.

This happened in other cities and they didn’t panic, only Boston. Hell the article even states one police department wasn’t going to do anything about their mooninite litebrights since they couldn’t identify a crime

Read. Please read the exerpt.

She’s not going “hahaha that was a good joke Sarah.” No she’s going “my husband being murdered was good for business lol”.

Oh I agree, issues on windows can be convoluted but restarts usually fix most of them. But yeah random fucking hex error codes that mean 1 of like 6 things and all the solutions are 4 years old and are no longer possible annoy the shit out of me.

Yeah, I don’t think they realize what a bad analogy this is. Hell I’d argue it’s straight up faulty analogy fallacy. Computers are designed to be useable by humans and programmers want users to know the fix to the problem. We’ve had to reverse engineer how the human body works but the computer and software is man made. The problem isn’t your hemocrit is 7.3 it’s your credit card expired, this program is in an unusable state please close it and reopen it, your computer needs to update please restart it, the program can’t get new messages because the computer isn’t connected to the internet.

I can’t tell you how many times I personally have been called to help someone with a computer problem where the error message tells the the easy solution. Close and reopen the program, restart your computer, time to change your password using this easy UI, connect to the internet.

Half the time the error message tells users the exact easy solution to do. Call me when it’s the other half.

And people wonder why people who do IT work are dicks. MF, just read the error message. Internalize the message. The message tells you what to do or what the problem is.

I did it once, the first time they just sent a no email. The sub cond time the hiring manager messaged me on LinkedIn a bit annoyed telling me no again. I looked them up recently as I was recently fired and I don’t think that company exists anymore.

Ubuntu is a Debian distro too. Either way mint is a Debian distro.

I’ve been recommending it as the beginner’s distro for years. Default DE is very windows familiar, install is easy, out of box experience is great, built on Debian so it’s stable as fuck. There’s nothing really wrong with it unless you need newer drivers or something

Depending on the situation there may be even older hardware/windows in use.

At my last job there was a windows 2000 computer still in use until like 2 years ago. None of the motherboard connections were still being made anymore. None of the drivers for the specialized devices existed for anything newer. The computer was air gapped and a replacement machine was commissioned, but it was still there doing its thing until the HDD failed.

Hey, don’t be mean to 3DTV. At least there’s an actual use case for it. Watching 3D TV or movies, which aren’t actually that popular… Hmmm, I see your point but also counter with the 3D TVs are at least also regular TVs

I was about to down vote you until I remembered the meme format. I commented elsewhere, but here’s Shaun’s video on harry potter

Shaun made a good video about how poorly the harry potter books actually aged.

even Logitech peripherals will not “just work” on Linux

I’m sorry, I did IT for years and still do it for friends if they make it worth the trouble. So, I have to ask, what the hell are you talking about?

Pretty much every logitech paripheral has worked perfectly for me on both windows or linux. It’s a mouse and keyboard, generic drivers work perfectly fine. Hell, I use a trackball mouse and that works plig and play on linux. Hell, open up a new windows computer run through the setup then disconnect it from the internet then plug in a logitech keyboard. Look at the driver for it in windows, it will probably be “generic keyboard driver”. It’s a keyboard.

We rescued an abandoned bunny, he is an absolutly cute, friendly, and happy little guy. But when he wants you to move he bites, and yea those chompers can hurt. We’ve been training him to not bite by withholding treats when he bites and hes been learning bites means no treat.

I mean bunnies have mean teeth (ask me how I know) and some strong back legs.
