Thanks! Learning more every day

Also, beautiful design, and probably not bad for a touchscreen (terrible for mouse though)

If I understood it correctly, in this context it means that the icons normally retain the original logo and color scheme, while incorporating them into a single style.

I, in fact, do not :)

You’re not, it’s just that sometimes you paste your passwords outside browser, and opening a browser for that is doable, but feels wrong :D

Also, the app has a more convenient layout as it can afford more screen space.

VMWare, GNOME Boxes, QEMU+virt-manager

Personally using the latter, appears to have the best support and more configuration options compared to alternatives, as well as advanced options like GPU passthrough etc, though it has a bit more of a learning curve, and each alternative option should be fine.

My switch to Linux started 1,5 years ago with Manjaro KDE - and since then, I am still a fan of KDE, which is kind of “Windows UI done right” for me. Ergonomic, configurable, consistent. I also find Pantheon, Enlightenment, and Budgie to be cool concepts, but from a practical side, KDE is a no-brainer for me.

Mint comes with Cinnamon by default, and I guess that’s what you’re using. For me, Cinnamon is too old-fashioned, it’s like you’re back to at least Windows 7 timing. Some people like it, but for me it’s just old and out of touch with the progress of UI’s.

GNOME used in Ubuntu is good with app theming (yay for adwaita!), it is unique and minimalistic, but its overall design is just…not for everyone, and customization is heavily tied to unsafe practice of plugins which has been exploited many, many times.

With all that said, try everything out in a VM or something and see what’s good for you. There are really no wrong choices!

Congratulations! Hope it goes better and better for you two!

Yes, congratulations!

There is an entire Linux server segment - exploiting Linux can be insanely profitable

I don’t like cats, mainly for two reasons:

1. I am allergic and they just make me feel bad on a physical level
2. Cats, as any animals, require care, and responsible owners add it to the list of their burdens. It’s like constantly having a baby that never grows up - cats can wake you up in the middle of the night, force you to remove feces, etc.

I, however, love people, and am far from being selfish or narcissistic. People around me often find me warm, comforting, and supportive.

Agreed with you!

Comments do drastically differ between .ml and .world. On .ml, you’ll see more sympathy towards Russia and China.

But the issue on hand is way bigger than that. It’s importance is not in Russia getting sanctioned somewhere else - it’s in the destruction of openness and trust in the open-source community, which has far more reaching consequences. What has been done is pretty unprecedented - and dangerous.

And I’m surprised other Linux communities are silent on the matter.

Kernel cannot follow or not follow any legal rules. Linux Foundation can.

And if regulations become a serious issue and go against the spirit of open-source, it is time to move the Foundation somewhere else.

If we follow through with it, I would absolutely never ever trust anyone from the US, for example. US is very much known for cyber espionage and shady operations, and could absolutely backdoor Linux.

This is all power play, and it comes from a very certain direction amidst this political struggle.

You want your open source code not to have backdoors? Review it meticulously. This is really the only way, and the one an entire open-source community relies on - pretty successfully, by the way.

I understand that.

But he also sits at the heart of the open-source community, and his actions might ripple through the entire sector. With this much influence, allowing your personal fears to chime in is unacceptable.

Once we start fragmenting open-source the way we fragment everything else, we lose the very spirit of it and open doors to so much potential power abuse.

Besides, I really don’t see how restricting Russian maintainers would prevent Russian military aggression. If something important there is powered by Linux, it can be forked and modified to serve a specific need. Not to mention Finland is now part of NATO.

Now what the actual fuck

Linus gives it a full green light and refers to negative reactions as Russian not attacks

You’ll never be wrong by making it dual boot - if you won’t need Windows, hooray, but if you will - it’s still there, always has been.

Nice

Aw, thanks :3
