Yep this is exactly why I refuse to do the scan as you go, it ends up seriously frustrating. Self scan at checkout is fine if you don’t have paracetamol or alcohol, otherwise you’re waiting ages for assistance.
It’s definitely an overall worse experience
Mullvad works fine on both LMDE and stock mint fwiw
Ubuntu is derived from Debian.
In linux there are 3 “popular” parent trees (plus a couple more obscure ones)
Debian tree, RedHat tree and Arch tree.
Debian is “parent” to Ubuntu is parent to Mint (standard versions)
LMDE applies Cinnamon and Mint tools to Debian.
I would like to point the RWNJs finally got voted out in Oz last year (federal and most states). Of course Murdoch and co. are working hard to reverse that, but semi sane leadership is in place for at least a year or two more.
Mint defaults to LTS. You can install the latest kernel through the upgrade manager
You can install the 6.2 kernel on mint through the upgrade manager gui. It’s just a couple of clicks.
On the other hand Mint has a reputation for “just works” because the defaults are indeed LTS
Yes. There’s numerous live examples which have been in place for years (Horndale South Australia for example)
LMDE is the backup plan the guy you replied to was referencing.
It’s rough around the edges compared to mint cinnamon but it works just fine, just needs a bit more customising attention after the install.
Putin has transparently murdered dozens of people far more important to the West without being toppled.
Russia’s newly displayed military impotence shifts the calculus, but Prighozin isn’t the guy to cause an international uproar.
That isn’t however the argument the article is making (noting I’m rather dubious on it).
They’re not arguing that NATO will suddenly invade because Pringles got SAM’d.
They’re arguing that a) the Wagner lieutenants are competent and experienced which makes it likely that they are not only capable but likely to be effective at seeking vengeance; and b) that Putin has systematically culled all the competent generals and hence there’s a reduced capability.
Now I’m dubious on the likelihood of the first, and while the second is true I’m not as convinced it will be a game changer.
With any luck this was instead of diddling the choir boys, if so then have at it.
Sure, it’s been a while since China had to protect its currency from negative pressure, and it’s in reuters because it’s a clear market signal. However a softening economy isn’t unusual generally, just a first in decades for China.
It’s as much a sign that as a country they’re maturing past the developing country growth wave they’ve been on, and hitting the cycles that developed nations need to manage. Couple that with a trade war with the US slowing down key parts of the economy and it’s notable but not surprising.
Those predicting a wholesale economic collapse will however be just as disappointed as they were 12months ago when predicting a real estate lead crash.
Fairly standard central bank activity, nothing unusual in and of itself.
Russia also targets civilians, hospitals and pizzerias, there is no safe place in Ukraine.
You can have secureboot on mint. On mobile but I’ll search up a link when at desk. It’s not terribly hard given Mint is derived from Ubuntu. Should come up in a search if you’re impatient
Ok but that reddit mod (it was /r/Linux right ? ) was eventually booted for being an utter arse and I’m 98% sure he didnt run Arch (he had a foss purism thing going and iirc was on debian)
I mean toxicity at reddit is why most of us are now on lemmy right ?
Thanks, appreciated.
Edit
I assume you mean 1.35gb of network data per day ? As opposed to per minute / per second etc
The South African government is aligned to Russia and China despite the general population having strong ties with the West.It’s all about the Chinese backhanders.
Corrupt leaders gunna do what corrupt leaders do.
What’s the hardware and network demand like ? I’ve been vaguely thinking of doing so myself.
Sure but that’s true of any packaging system. The .deb or .rpm you just downloaded off not-a-scammer-honestly.com could just as easily be malware.
Insert surprised pickachu face here
Well that’s out of character for Google
