I just wish more distros made their terminal prompt and updater look as good as Gentoo's, it's weirdly the one thing I miss most about messing around with it

For me it was AOL chat rooms and Star Trek role play that got my typing speed up, later followed by wow when voice chat was uncommon and communicating during a dungeon or raid required typing fast to not interrupt what you needed to do

Yep... Mint is always following the current LTE version of Ubuntu, usually behind them by a couple months, which is going to be a few months to a year behind on most packages at the time of release, and will be another two years before getting a new feature update

Anything not system level (such as the DE), if you want the latest, Flatpak. Anything else, your options are to wait a few years, try to shoehorn it in yourself and deal with the dependency hell, or hop to a distro that uses the version you want.

Even the latest version of Mint that just released about a month ago doesn't have KDE 6 yet, and it'll probably be two years before it's available. Which is why I'm thinking of switching to Fedora for a while.

As the old Microsoft saying went, "it ain't done til Notes don't run"

It really is about the best settings app I've ever used, especially where it highlights the settings that have been changed from defaults

What does the login screen have to do with mobile? They've had them since at least Windows 95 (I forget if 3.1 had one), and they've been evolving every release.

If you mean the screen before the login, that's been around since at least Windows 95 too, though it didn't used to be default and required you to press Ctrl+alt+del to dismiss (which before win95 would reboot your computer)

It ain't done til GRUB don't run?

Just taking a guess here but the controller was probably brought up as evidence for how much they were cutting corners and disregarding safety and good sense, not as the cause of the failure

This is what happens from only reading the title and making assumptions...

For work. And that's only until I can get my workflow converted fully

I've had good luck with Roku so far, I know they're questionable but short of building a system to handle casting/streaming for me they seem to be the best bet right now

This is why they have no great products, they kill all the ones that are

I find this to also be acceptable

Exactly this, the community has proven it will put the effort to make it work, and a lot of things that don't still are because the companies resist it intentionally

I really hope it's tossed out with prejudice

Because he's only a free speech absolutist for himself and for people who agree with him

Except a lot of anti cheat now supports Linux. Destiny 2 doesn't run on Linux only because Bungie refuses to allow it, their AC supports Linux just fine now

Funnily enough, I've had almost this exact same thing happen... On Windows. More than once. Spending days getting it to run hardly at all and weeks trying to figure out how to make it run well. On modern hardware, with both old and new games alike.

I've not had that much trouble yet with Linux gaming, with only a few exceptions where I needed to tweak a couple things stuff has pretty much just worked.

I don't know if they still do this but the old chassis would actually survive a drink bring spilled on it because it siphons it around and through the motherboard and out holes in the bottom. They also outperformed pretty much everything else on the market that wasn't specifically a rugged laptop for durability.

The classic keyboard was legendary, I never understood why they ditched it. Nobody hates the new keyboard, but nobody sings its praises like they did the old one either. And they've had a decade to fix this by bringing it back.
