I feel so very very sorry for them. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy… /s

To be fair, my husband is about as far from tech savvy as they come, and he’s been running Linux for years on his laptop. Every 2-3 years I upgrade him. Sometimes just within distros (Ubuntu 12.04 to 16.04 say. Other times, I’ve moved him distros (to fedora) or back to Ubuntu. Otherwise? I don’t touch his system. He’s been happy for years.

And yet, they’re still drilling and fracking like mad.

Tbh, they very likely have cameras pointed at the bathroom entrances at the very least, and quite possibly in common areas of the bathrooms too. You’re at school. Not home. Your right to privacy is minimal at best.

That actually depends on the vegetable. Tomatoes and peppers are fruit, technically. Carrots and radishes on the other hand are actually the roots of the carrot plant. Celery, we eat part of the stems. Lettuce and spinach we eat the leaves of. Etc

This. If you want to go back to the days without systemd and writing invit scripts manually, knock yourselves out. The rest of us will continue to live in the modern world of systemd, pulse audio (and now pipe wire).

Probably to some degree… But on any other distro, the same is almost certainly true today too. Only it’s between… rpm/aur/deb/etc and Flatpaks instead of snap.

Yeah. Part of me is annoyed by snaps. But, tbh, having tried fedora and opensuse over the last few years, I don’t quite see how they’re so much worse than freaking Flatpaks. And at least they come gods damned fully enabled.

Been running Ubuntu 22.04 for the last several months and have yet to see anything resembling an ad. I guess it prompts me why there’s system updates every fe days to a week or so. But I’d hardly call that an ‘ad’.

I’ve never cared for mint because I don’t really want my Linux to look like Windows. Which is what mint does.
