Quick question: is Aurora dev desktop plus dev stuff, or less desktop stuff?
The good, the bad, and the ugly . Tapas or hamburger.
Not being able to say “I run Arch BTW” is a dealbreaker.
Slackware was my first distro, in the 90s, installed from diskettes, downloaded with a 9600 baud modem, FUN! (actually it was, wizard stuff at the time). I moved to Mandrake I think, then RH or another, and whenever I took a look at Slackware, it felt ancient when compared with these “glitzy”, for the time, distros. Maybe I should take a look again.
You being unable to install something in kinoite is just lack of research on your part,
OFC, That’s what I implied in my post. That I don’t want to tinker more than necessary. I’ve been doing Linux things since the 90s, installing from diskettes, spending hours and hours on the CLI, compiling shit on a 40Mhz 486… Right now I want something that mainly just works, mainly being the key word here. I don’t mind doing the odd tweak here and there, I just don’t want the tweaking to be a main feature.
The only problem I have with Mint is that they are super conservative, which translates to stability, which in turn makes it less up todate in certain applications. While based on Ubuntu it un-shittifies by using flats instead of snaps, for example. I have not noticed any shennanigans like Ubuntus
That hat looks ridiculously small
I think it may be time to buy Boeing stock soon. I think major investors are finally seeing the writing on the wall, and are going to push for an engineer driven revival. These things take time and effort for such a behemoth, but with the right leadership and investor backing, it can be done.
I know SUSE’s been around since forever, but how is package availability?
Ubuntu was very good, changed a lot of people’s perception of Linux, and made the user experience much nicer. It still is very good, but many have caught up, or are surpassing Ubuntu in user experience. The issue with Ubuntu is the progressive enshittification.
Mint is, so far, the un-enshittified Ubuntu alternative. Plus it’s main DEs. Cinnamon and MATE provide a fairly Windows like experience for those landing from the Windows world.
I doubt that. I’m going to guess that Google is going towards a sort of “P2P AI”

Vorwerk Kobolds are great. Find a used one. I have a 20 year old one. I took it apart an was pleasantly surprised at the quality and design. Vorwerk makes the Thermomix, so you know they are quality stuff. I’m also a Miele fan. In my old house my entire kitchen was Miele. Never a problem, not one in years. Pricy, yes. Worth it definitely.
Dysons have planned obsolescence, their plastics are shit, and they are overly loud on purpose, so that people have the impression they are powerful.
They wont come down. Prices are upwardly sticky. Nvidia and the rest have seen that people will pay those inflated prices, so they have no incentive to lower them
PET bottles are very easily recicled. In my country a sizeable amount of PET bottles sold are 100%recycled PET
I’m genuinely curious. I’ve learnt to never trust Microsoft when they do something “nice”. In my experience they work the long con. I have learnt to never trust them initially. Free windows licenses?, fairly decent Windows 10 initially? This is the last windows 10 version, we’ll keep improving? History can be a bitch.
Your entitlement is Karen level.
Corel was, and still is, used in a lot of industries, like signmaking, embroidery, etc. It has been losing share in the general vector graphics space for years though.
