You can install time shift on Ubuntu, with Mint it is part of the install process iirc, and default snapshotting with OpenSUSE install

It is not that it is the best distro, its that it is the easier onboarding experience for a windows user
Mint is a good choice because it has an easy timeshift option, so a problem in an update is just a rollback/recover. Same as Snapper Rollback on distros like OpenSUSE, it means a non savvy Linux user can reboot and have it fixed. That is appealing for a lot of users that don’t want to bother with finding the fix
BCsven@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to tell the difference between being burnt out and just being lazy?2·2 days agoWe worked in a high paced Engineering office together, after the auto job, he would put his feet up and pile boxes near his desk to avoid working and read a book. There was more than enough stimulation available, he would just rather do what he wanted than work. Not everthing is the employers’ doing, some people just make poor choices, even given opportunity.
BCsven@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to tell the difference between being burnt out and just being lazy?1·2 days agoWhat going on is I don’t feel like doing it LOL.
I worked with a former autoworker, his job was inspecting roof seal adhesive and hitting the button for next car. He said he sat in a chair and read a book and would push the button with his foot. I asked how he could see roof glue, he said “I could not see it, I just pushed the button” . Too me that is the essence of a lazy person. It was not related to physical or mental overload, he was a sports guy etc. He just didn’t want to inconvienece himself with getting out of the chair or interrupt his book reading.

BCsven@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to tell the difference between being burnt out and just being lazy?6·3 days agoSometimes the underlying cause is you don’t want to be bothered with the task. I am highly motivated to complete tasks, but sometimes I will let stuff slide because I can’t be bothered.
BCsven@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to tell the difference between being burnt out and just being lazy?192·3 days agoLazy exists. I am a fully capable person, but some times I just don’t want to get up off the couch and wash the dishes, or finish painting the wall trim. Its not that I am sad, tired or depressed, it’s just I’d rather be doing something else or nothing else.
BCsven@lemmy.cato Linux@lemmy.ml•Why disable ssh login with root on a server if I only log in with keys, not password?1·5 days agoFor ssh they both have private and public keys. The server could be at risk of having it’s own private key compromised if somebody breaks in, and vice versa a compromised client can lose its private key. The original wording made it sound like a compromised server would steal client keys.
Also passworded keys are recommended

BCsven@lemmy.cato Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm committing to Linux, but it's so unstable. Any suggestions?6·6 days agoThis has not been my experience. I’m not on Ubuntu, but OpenSUSE and NixOS. Everything works and operates as expected everytime. The only issue once was nvidia driver updated versions before kernel did and I had to reboot to a previous snapshot and wait a few days till the kernel update was released to work with whatever happened to the driver. But 8 years of a dependable system otherwise

With OCD it is best to acknowledge the thought and let it flow out unjudged, otherwise it takes power. What you described sounds pretty much like kid silliness. If it was an ongoing behaviour, then yeah maybe that kid liked touching peoples butts. Either way who knows right, and the “whys” don’t matter, just that you are OK now.
You are welcome. Secure Boot does work on many distros, but it is extra steps, and when the kernel modules update and you often have to reenroll the keys. It is really not worth it unless you are a high profile target where somebody wants to maliciously alter your OS.
