Honestly I can’t remember the details. It was a few months ago and it may have been just a temporary thing or a quirk of my installation. I think it had to do with some component relating to DBus not being present that I couldn’t figure out how to fix.
I had trouble using Flatseal to adjust permissions for Flatpak applications in Linux Mint. But that was a few months ago and may have been fixed. Other than that I never really had trouble with stuff being broken or unavailable in Mint.
I guess if you use very new hardware you might prefer a newer kernel than the one Mint uses. Or if you want the latest versions of packages, a rolling distro might suit you better. Or you might prefer a different filesystem. But if none of this bothers you, there’s no need to switch. Mint generally works well.
$199 now. Still seems a bit overpriced.
I put a bowl out once. The first kid that came emptied the whole lot into his bag and I had nothing left. So now I keep it inside and if they don’t knock it’s their loss and I get treats.

Sorry, I’ll see if I can get an archive link. I didn’t hit the wall but I use a network-wide adblocker so perhaps that’s why.

That’s why Republicans are intent on making sure voters’ wishes no longer matter.
I spend a lot of my workday looking at windows that have turned white and “not responding”, or clicking on things and waiting a minute to see whether the click worked, or waiting for the Start menu to allow me to type, or waiting for the indexing service to spare me a little bit of my computer for my own use, etc. Then I come home to Linux and remember how computers can actually be fast and satisfying to use.
Chrome excites arbitrary code from google.com (this wasn’t something widely known until recently and appears to effect all the chromium downstream browsers).
I hadn’t heard about that. Can you link me to some info about it?
This rubbish reads like it was written by ChatGPT.
I managed to get in and change mine last night. So you just have to keep hammering that refresh button until you overcome whoever this asshole is that’s DOSing the site. Maybe even do it on several computers, and write a script to help.
Edit: Joke, don’t do.
I guess the hit piece is just the title OP put on the post.
Many of our home customers’ feedback indicated a preference for the certainty provided by an annual plan. The annual plan offers assurance that you always have access to the latest version with innovations such as improvements we’ve made in compression speeds and algorithms. It also ensures you have access to critical updates and are protected against new threats and risks.
I think they made that up. I highly doubt their customers expressed any such preference.
I don’t think upscaling the text/UI and downscaling the whole screen are the same thing.
I did watch it in the end after your recommendation, and it was interesting. Thanks!
It’s 30 minutes. Anyone have a quick summary?

Some people love a challenge I guess. No disrespect to Haiku.
I second this suggestion. I have an old touchscreen PC from about 2001 with a Via Eden CPU, which is an incredibly feeble low-power processor that lacks some instructions that were common even in 32-bit days, and Antix was the only reasonably modern distro I could get to run on it.
