It has begun. Trump unleashing the army against the population fighting against his gestapo.

Linux Mint feels quirky to me. It’s an Ubuntu flavor, but not quite? Because it gets rid of a few Ubuntu things.

Yeah, you gotta have Linux compatible hardware from the start. I’ve always had Linux in dual boot for the last 25 years, so I’m used to it lol.

To be fair, it’s best to install the whole thing straight from the ISO. You might end up with missing parts if you use the desktop meta-packages.

How to install software on Windows (that I know of):

• EXE installer that you download from the website (Linux equivalent to a binary installer that you downlaod)
• MSI installer that you downlaod from the website (Linux equivalent to a .deb package I would say?)
• Zip executable installer that you download from the website (Binary installer again?)
• Standalone Zip that you download from the website (Standalone zip or tar file)
• Microsoft Store (App store)
• Chocolatey (Apt/Yum, etc)
• Winget (Apt/Yum, etc)

There’s not sandboxed applications like Flatpaks or Snaps though, which provide an extra layer of security. Which would be great in Windows, honestly.

It is a holocaust, essentially.

Trying to save people from a holocaust is not stupidity.

Vive le Québec !!!

Saved this post for later. Am also a sucker for cheap little indie games.

Like feeding the homeless in certain cities?

Let me start a team for my team in Teams.

That still exists???

“Close”???

Right??!!

lol!

I’m old and I’ve been using command lines for a long time. Especially in Linux. Heck I’ve used a terminal based web browser! (Links or Lynx? I can’t remember the name.)

Transmission is the torrent client, no?

I understand your frustration and I, too, thought that blocking went both ways before seeing your post.

If you encounter someone who is harassing you and attacking your reputation without your knowledge and down voting your whole history, you should gather the proof and contact your instances mods. There’s a very good chance they’ll ban them either temporarily or permanently from the instance. Or contact the mods from their instance as well.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

You get a lot of the same tools as Mint, such as Flatpak instead of Snap but with no Flatpak packages pre-installed. On top of this, it also pre-installs WINE 9, Google Chrome instead of Firefox, and quite a few smaller quality-of-life tools such as the Transmission BitTorrent client, a download manager, an image viewer, and more.

Google Chrome??? Why?

Aww 😞

No. I swear it doesn’t matter.

I’m in Québec. Here we have 6 years of elementary school, 5 years of high-school, 2 or 3 years of Cegep (college) depending if it’s pre-university or a vocational degree, then 4 years university to get a bachelor’s degree.

I was pulled back from advanced math to regular math back in my last year of high-school because the teacher hated my guts for some reason, and had to redo my advanced math to get into Cegep in computer science. Then, when I graduated after 3 years, my degree wasn’t good enough and I had to go to university. At uni we had 3 semesters a year instead of 2 because it was an engineering degree and because of internships. But I worked in the summer to get some money to pay for my school expenses. Ended up finishing uni in 5 years instead of 4.

Yeah I got set back a couple of years, but it’s okay. And honestly nobody cares if you failed a year in high school. As long as you finish, that’s all that matters.
