I knew someone would beat me to it.

As a user, why should I care whether the distro I use uses systemd? I use Mint and I don't remember having to interact with that kind of low-level nonsense. The distro maintainers can use whatever reasoning they want to pick these details.

Is Suvi Korean or are some of her ancestors Korean? There's a difference.

there's a pretty wild range there from fairly easy to make in a few hours to massive community effort over several decades

Neither. Internal politics in Israel threatened to break up the government, and starting a war with Iran was the easiest way to stop that. Can't break up the government now, we're in a state of emergency!

Bibi would sooner burn down all of Israel than step down from power.

I don't doubt that it can happen but Windows has never messed with my GRUB even on major updates and even, IIRC, when "upgrading" from Windows 10 to 11.

it took it over 14 minutes though

See, this is just bad scientific methodology. You changed multiple variables at the same time and now you can't determine which one caused the different treatment. Smh women can't do science.

(hopefully obvious but: just kidding of course, that is awesome)

Send moods. Just tell me about your day.

Recently built a PC with an AMD GPU. Tried to figure out how to install AMD drivers, because Mint's driver manager didn't seem to offer anything like it would for nvidia... Turns out AMD drivers are just part of the Linux kernel and you don't need to install them at all. Nice.

I did have one problem though - my hardware is too new and the kernel shipped with Mint doesn't really support it yet. But it was surprisingly easy to install a newer kernel. And anyway for any PC that doesn't use bleeding edge hardware, this would never be an issue.

<3 Mint and Linux

Just a nitpick: the version will let behind in all Debian-based distros, there's no "may" about it. Any software that is still receiving regular updates will have a much older version in the distros' apt repositories, often even several years old. It might still be fine - apt is a good example, the old version can almost definitely do everything you need - but it's important to be aware of this.

 

A woman is out shopping, and suddenly spots her husband. As she's about to say hello to him, she notices the man is filthy: his clothes have stains from spilt food and drinks, his face and hands are dark with mud and grime.

"What happened to you?!" she asks, skipping the hello.

"Oh, it's nothing, don't worry about it..."

"What do you mean don't worry about it? You're dirty like a pig! At least go home and shower!!"

"No, I can't... There's something I have to do. Sorry, honey, I'll see you later tonight."

"Well at least tell me how you got so muddy!"

"I really can't tell you. It's nothing, I promise."

The woman starts getting angry. "Listen to me. Either you tell me what's going on, or go home with me right now to wash yourself!! If not, I'm packing your things and kicking you out!"

The husband thinks about it for a while, then makes a deep sigh and says: "Alright... I'll come clean."
