Not surprising from a guy who bought a signed copy of Mein Kampf.

Up to date mesa is in regular mint but only sort of. You have to manually go bleeding edge if you want by installing mesa drivers manually.

Yeah, there’s a big difference to a beginner between adding a PPA in Mint (GUI) and all the fuckery of trying to get the latest Mesa in Debian (terminal with risk) even though both could technically be described as “manual”.

Regular Mint is much closer to what the OP is asking for. It removes the crappy Ubuntu stuff but gets to benefit from the good stuff like better hardware support, GUIs for drivers/updates and PPA support which is especially important if you have an AMD GPU as it’s how you’ll get up-to-date Mesa.

The tab groups work by sandboxing a site to a specific one. Once you have it set up, every time you go to a site it’ll open in the correct tab group. Each tab group has it’s own seperate cookies.

If it’s the same website with multiple different logins you’re using though then yeah, this wouldn’t help at all.

Depending what exactly the OP needs, they may even be able to do it just using multi-account containers (sandboxed tab groups) in Firefox.

Kinda seems like internet 101 that they should either explicitly state they don’t support emails created on VPNs or that they won’t blanket ban a VPN IP address.

Even better do journalctl -r -b -1 to get the latest logs first

Or you can just do journalctl -r --since "5min ago" if it just happened

The killswitch isn’t safe for bittorrent on your own PC as they have a tendency to expose your IP briefly when the connection drops before it kicks in. Binding your torrent client to your VPN network is 100% reliable though so no need for a seedbox.

I use Duolingo every day, seems pretty effective to me.

I’m not sure how it’s a privacy nightmare. I gave them my email address for spam and a false name.

To avoid the ads, I use it via browser (firefox with ublock origin) on my phone instead of on the app.

Fair enough, I totally agree about Ubuntu, although Mint doesn’t have most of the bad Ubuntu stuff. What it does benefit from is Ubuntu’s superior hardware support, PPAs (most important for up-to-date Mesa) and GUI stuff like Driver Manager/Update Manager. For a beginner or casual user there’s no contest.

Yes, I know Mint is downstream of Ubuntu, that’s how I know it doesn’t include Snaps. What exactly other “nonsense” is there or was your statement just a general LMDE puritan hand-wave?

Which Ubuntu stuff does Mint Cinnamon have? I thought the point of Mint was that they removed a bunch of that stuff like Snaps.

The new CEO isn’t talking about the AI that’s already in Firefox. He’s talking about more AI with greater integration.

“Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.”

Meanwhile, also in Texas, the police will trawl cameras nationwide to track you if you get an abortion. I guess it’s OK as long as it’s their surveillance network.

Private trackers are the WoW raiding guilds of piracy xD

It was a couple of years ago. Continuing enshittification of Windows pissed me off enough to look into it (10/11 restricting of options, CoPilot, various bloat etc).

2 years later, i’m running Mint on my laptop, Arch on my desktop, a server with OpenMediaVault and a miniPC with Batocera. My computer life has never been better!

To be fair, most people who use Windows are ignorant of any of this stuff so while I guess they are technically part of the problem (debatably), it’s not knowingly. With that in mind it seems unwise to tar them all with the same brush and set them up as the enemy if we hope to convince any of them to abandon it.

Damn, didn’t know my jaw could hit the floor for 43mins straight.
