Snaps are crap. Not using them is one of the main reasons I’m considering switching to Mint

You need the “Userland” programs. Basic things like ls, cp, cat, etc. Usually it’s GNU core tools, but there’s also BusyBox or BSD equivalents.

Mainly with the bootloader, but also a few device drivers. But this was like 6 years ago and UEFI was still new. So maybe it’s better now. Generally the older your hardware the more likely it is to be supported

The last time I tried installing on a MacBook I had all kinds of problems. Maybe it is better now, but I’d suggest starting with a traditional PC if you’re brand new to Linux

XFCE is a great option. I consider it middle ground as low resource needs, but also has most of the features you want in a DE. Things like IceWM or OpenBox are even lighter, but less featureful

The title is borked in Lemmy. It’s just a portion of the body text, including link tags which don’t work on titles. I think there are some formatting guides out there if you want to continue trying to post to Lemmy via Mastodon.

Edit: there’s a Mastodon to Lemmy guide at the bottom of this post

I usually just use EXT4, but perhaps you should check out F2FS. It’s designed for solid state storage mediums, as while most were created with traditional spinning hard discs in mind

To experience this properly you need it to loop forever https://youtu.be/DoyBgTAZrFw

I’m pretty sure he’s got that whole conservative-libertarian thing going

👏

Kinda, but that was a .webm file, and I’ve yet to find a Lemmy app (nor the site) that will autoloop them right like RiF did 😞

Tldr: it’s a philosophy Microsoft has used extensively in the past. You join in with a new industry then simply outspend the competition making it harder and harder for them to compete just because they are not the size of you or as already entrenched in other areas. The last E, extinguish is for things they don’t like. They become the monopoly player then shutdown their own product/service, and now it’s gone

Haha, Yes
