  • Desktop has both Mint and Bazzite. I use both daily.

    Mint can’t natively control my display or sound, and it has had issues with internet and the Nvidia graphics card before.

    Bazzite can natively control display and sound, and I haven’t had to use the CLI even once.

    New Lenovo Laptop I tried both too. The mousepad and fn shortcuts for brightness and sound didn’t work on Mint. Fedora mousepad works perfectly and fn shortcuts work

    Old 8 year HP 4gb ddr4 laptop neither worked well, so went with a lightweight distro that was debian based.

    Old 12 year HP 16gb ddr3 laptop; mint gave internet LAN issues and DVD drive issues, keyboard shortcut for brightness issues. Fedora XFCE no issues.

    Friend’s 4 year old Asus laptop; Mint gave issues with WiFi, Nvidia graphics card, and controlling screen brightness. Fedora no issues.

    Another friend had similar issues with their laptop on Mint but said no issues on Zorin btw, and Zorin also worked better on their mom’s old desktop. Both are debian based interestingly enough, but Zorin is sort of paid so makes some sense I guess?..

    This is all anecdotal of course, but at least based on what I’ve seen, Mint has never been as beginner friendly as it seems compared to Fedora in that it usually requires more tinkering. You even see that here with the pro mint comments suggesting some use of a CLI.










  • I have similar wants. Just a standard house, maybe some land for a bit of gardening, and a workshop to make things. Donate to certain charities and open source projects etc. Travel a bit.

    But they’re one little thing I’d do that would definitely show I’m rich:

    I’d travel to local forest parks around the world, and bury actual treasure. Like a 3 gold bars. In in actual chest too. Maybe every now and then I’d do smaller treasures that are like a fancy sword or platinum ring or just medieval armor. Idk.

    Then I’d go to the local university and set up riddles they’ll lead to a part of a hidden map, with the map being hidden both throughout the university and maybe online too, depending.

    But it wouldn’t be a straightforward map. It would be a map to a random house built near the park. And somewhere in that house, would be the final map leading to the treasure.

    Why? Because the world could use a little bit of magic adventuring I think. That’s something that just doesn’t really exist anymore in the modern era, in a way. I feel like finding treasure and going on a treasure hunt is something a lot of people as a kid probably thought would be fun.

    And second, university students can always use some money, so they get first dibs too.

    Likewise when I die any children I have would have to go to a mini mansion and solve the puzzles in order to get my last will that grants the finder my money.



  • The bigger picture is always missing in these posts.

    And that is that everything that’s happening has already happened in Russia. It’s how Putin got power - through the courts.

    All a Republican president has to do now is make an official act that they are president for life, the supreme court agrees, and that’s that.

    The second is that while only the president has immunity (meaning anyone killing people under their official order would still be illegal), the president can also pardon people. So it’s a loophole - anyone can kill under their official order, and then the president can just pardon them.
