First you need to download the provided file from the distro page. Something with Checksum in the name most of the time. The website should provide instructions. Please note that does not validate the gpg key.
Quick Method Terminal:
Open the terminal at the location of the ISO file or go there with cd. Type sha256sum NameOfIsoFile.iso - it takes a moment depending on your system.
Copy the output (some long numbers/letters). Compare it with the downloaded checksum-file - open the file, press ctrl-f or whatever you have for find and paste it. If it's found, it's the same.
Method KDE:
Right click the file, open properties, then go to tab "Checksums".
Paste same number/letter combination from above into the provided space "Expected checksums..." - if it's green, it's correct.
I don't mean to crash the party, I used to love Ventoy too. But then the blob issue came up and it was met with silence for over a year by the maintainer, that made me a bit uncomfortable. They have responded to it a while ago, but it's no trivial task to solve as I understand it: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/3224
I recently switched my desktop to Linux mint. Overall it seems to work well for me. The one exception is that my password manager, Keepass, won't work. I currently use Gdrive to sync the database between devices. It works very well for this purpose. Is there another way I can sync this file as seemlessly as Gdrive? It would to...

Check both out over at https://distrosea.com/ to see which you like more. Also different DEs come with different standard apps like which text editor or terminal they use. If you do not have a preference there, it shouldn't matter much. Also you can switch those out if one in particular isn't to your liking.
I doubt that would help, sadly. There is SO MUCH advice out there already, but people always think they are special and have a very rare and complicated use case.
A Windows-to-Linux “translation” tool for the 200M+ Windows 10 computers not eligible to upgrade to Windows 11, Operese transfers files, settings, and programs from Windows to a brand-new Kubuntu installation. It's still very much a work in progress, but in my biased opinion, it already doesn't look too shabby!
Nevermind, I was able to read the comments and the poster said "I WILL be open-sourcing the code ASAP, but I'm still working out exactly what that will look like, and I also have a few personal reasons for delaying." So there's not git yet for everybody else who is wondering.
For me both have their use cases. Heroic is my go to for GOG and Epic games and everything else not Steam (e. g. old Windows install files that I still have lying around). EA App only ran for me on Lutris until one day it didn't. Then I tried with Bottles and it worked ever since. Not trying to add more confusion, but for some people Bottles has a more intuitive interface than Lutris.
I have been tossing around the idea of a little distro hopping. I'm an avid mint fan. It was my first jump from windows. I became quite familiar with mint but felt the want to branch out and went down the rabbit hole (oh my lanta). I like stability and cleanliness. Security by default. Least mental load possible long-term....
Agreed. Also wondering what companies are employing people that long? In other European countries, companies wont hire people 50+ cause they are deemed too old, inflexible and expensive. I really wonder, if companies in Denmark are different in that regard.
