And everything it touches, it feels like it does differently just to be incompatible and extra, and like it goes out of its way to obfuscate everything to force you to use their programs to configure it rather than config files

Yeah, I’m really not understanding what their argument is on email vs Web portal thing. Like, do they think because it uses HTTP instead of POP3 or IMAP to get it to their device that it’s somehow not email anymore?

If I remember correctly, BEFORE he was even inaugurated

If the data center is causing all that power drain, they should be the ones footing the damned bill

I never used it specifically because of it being run by Brenden Eich. I have no intention of knowingly throwing my towel in and helping to enrich someone who’s thrown his money around to strip people of the right to marry who they want because he finds it icky.

I’m sure there’s other bad shit from him but after that I just treat him and anything he does as pure toxin.

If that sounds harsh, well, I don’t give a fuck.

I actually really liked 8.1, preferred it to 7 once I got used to the Start Screen. Surprisingly well designed, actually found myself preferring the menu over 7’s

10 had the best start menu in my opinion, but the quality was just an ever advancing downward spiral.

Now, I can’t even stand it, deal with it at work as much as I have to, but at home, the only Windows machine left is only still on it because simulator peripherals are a pain to get working right on Linux sometimes, so my dedicated simulator machine still uses that, but it’s used for nothing else

I think my last count hit north of 500 tabs…

I… I may have a bit of a problem…

Not to mention, did we ever find out what happened to all the stuff that had been in the East Wing?

Hell, I heard that the Resolute Desk had been spotted at Mar A Lago…

LibreWolf is a solid choice, I use it as well

I can recommend checking out Zen as well

I would say Flatpak is a good choice if you want or need features in the latest version of a package that isn’t in the version Mint runs, which is typically based on the current Ubuntu LTS version (or whichever one was current for the Mint version you’re on).

The main drawbacks are size on disk and the ability to work with other apps and the system, but neither issue is as bad as they’re typically made out to be… If you’re only installing one or two Flatpaks, they’ll seem massive compared to installing the version from apt repos, but that’s because they need to bring in supporting packages which are used by other Flatpaks, so if you use several of them, the space for each is a lot closer to the apt/direct installed version.

And the permissions, which can be annoying if you run into an issue with them, are typically defaulted to something that works correctly for each package, so you likely won’t need to worry about that hardly ever.

But otherwise… Yeah, if you don’t know why you’d want the Flatpak version and it’s in the Mint apt repos/system install, go with system install. Switch to Flatpak if you’re finding features you want missing that are in newer versions.

But they’re shouldn’t really be any reason to use Snaps on Mint.

Yeah, it’s… It’s a pretty bizarre reason to downvote someone, but if that’s what they want to do, nobody is going to stop them from wasting their time

Microsoft, you already got me to leave Windows, you don’t have to keep sending me reminders, I wasn’t at risk of wanting to come back…

How is the Union that gave its people the GDPR is the same Union pulling this?
