fake money for criminals is just money in general, at least some crypto currencies don’t allow for tracking

Pirate Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC for support until 2027

Governments, schools, and companies just finished (for the most part) to move to Windows 10. So it really sounds more like a problem for 2030 to me.

i use vi mode in zsh for that reason, its pretty good

that is just wrong, Arch has multiple week long testing phases for most packages.

current example: Zig 6 days out of date

Python over 1 month

Extra-Testing

done that

rm is part of GNU or busybox though.

Who needs that pesky kernel and bloated bootloader anyway?

To be fair, tech companies can do whatever they want in the EU, No party would ever want to be responsible for WhatsApp, Windows, or ChatGPT not being available anymore.

There are a couple of issues with Mint, the biggest one by far, in my opinion, is the slow update schedule, anything more than 6 months really isn’t usable for the desktop, this leads to a reliance on Flatpak and the inability to compile and use a lot of packages. The second biggest issue is Cinnamon, it’s outdated, very restrictive, lacks a lot of important features, and is generally ugly (in my opinion of course) you can’t even really change the default desktop since the others ones are extremely outdated in the repos. It’s still ok to use but just not very compelling beyond it’s similarities to Windows when compared to other distros.

I’d generally say that the non-immutable spins of Fedora are way nicer to use due to the larger repos and newer packages. You also don’t really lose anything on Fedora that you’d get on Mint, you still have a GUI package manager and installer so even new users can use it intuitively.

Not just the US.

I do not want a distro with garbage pre installed, you have the choice to not use Arch, it is the “CLI choice.”

What’s the deal with Arch/CLI/“complicated” linux distro hate? GUIs generally suck more than CLI/TUI tools. If Arch distributed an official GUI installer ISO, nobody would ever use it; the ISO would be huge compared to its current size and the archinstall TUI is the best installer I’ve come across so far. Just stop being afraid of the terminal.

Debian also doesn’t come with a GUI package manager as far as I’m aware.

Also stop shilling Linux Mint to new users. Fedora, OpenSUSE TW, Debian, Ubuntu, and I’d even say Clear Linux are all more attractive operating systems to use for anyone who switches over. Cinnamon is just not as good as the alternatives and if you’re not using Cinnamon, you might as well use Debian.

the mint gui package manager is ok

really depends on what you call proprietary

it’s not, GPL cannot be made proprietary

It’s an issue with zypper, if you ever updated your device, you did encounter it. Maybe you have never seen how fast Arch updates are in comparison.

extremely, unfathomably slow updates.
