Linux Mint is so nice.

I would turn off “Secure Boot” in BIOS before doing the upgrade.

It officially works, but can throw in unnecessary challenges - and Mom probably isn’t traveling with national secrets next week anyway.

I text my friends. I assume that everyone else just thinks I died.

The move between seeing “your brother in law took the kids to the zoo” to “your brother in law liked this trash article” was such a jarring transition.

It was awful.

“Oh, look. He’s a little bit racist. Now I get to know that. Thanks Facebook.”

Pen and paper is great for whenever I can’t get my hands on a chisel and rock wall.

This is the way.

Or do I just have a really weak electric stove?

I think you might just have a really weak one, or poor compatibility pots? I’ve had both, and if anything my gas burners feel a little slower and cooler than my induction stove did.

Tablet pornography must be nice.

That seems like someone who made a plan, and then lived out their best evening.

I imagine those tablet Pornhub users probably prepared themselves a nice mixed drink, set out some snacks, and got all cozy in a bathrobe first.

Tablet pornhub sounds like some kind of intentional self care.

Haha!

But uh…I would watch that. That sounds pretty hot.

Be sure to take a moment to reboot into desktop, and search the built in Linux app store for free games. There’s some absolute gems.

Edit: And after installing, right click the game on the desktop or menu, and choose “Add To Steam”, to make it show up in the usual Steam interface.

Does anyone have any clue?

My best guess would be some relatively passive notification stealing focus.

As reddeadhead mentioned, there’s specific “don’t steal focus” settings. I’ve had good luck with them.

Immutable distros can usually be set to mutable with the correct privileged command.

It’s essentially security by obscurity. But I disagree with “no benefit”. An infection miss through dumb luck is still a miss, after all.

Jeff Bezos never smashed the window on my car to steal my speakers,

True.

he doesnt come out vandalising public transport or parks and he isnt the reason my wife doesnt feel safe walking around at night.

If we could even comprehend the scale of his unpaid taxes, or their impact on our parks, we might discuss this at length…

The surprisingly deep copy of Balatro in “Dave the Diver” is pretty good.
