Thanks for sharing a picture of your cutie Muscat!🤗❤️
Great pick me up for starting the day🤌✨


Props to Australians!🫡🥳
You prevented the infiltration of toxic lunacy that is Candace Owens💪




Yes because I would be beholden to my customers via my AGPL-3.0 and CC-BY-SA-NC-4.0 licenses.
If I fuck around I imagine I’d quickly lose customers and go homeless.


Thank you🤗❤️

Hey I’m glad it’s working for you! Nice!👍
Totally fair.


Just curious but what distro are you using?
I might be able to help in my spare time


Thanks! +1
I’ve added the link to the post🙌


Good question and thanks for asking!
As far as I’m currently aware, due to YouTube constantly changing things, YT thumbnails often will not load unless directly linked to the video’s thumbnail (at least here on the Fediverse).
Because of this, it allows me to link to alternative sources within the post such as Invidious (YT alt ad-free frontend), Peertube, Bandcamp, etc.


Does it even matter that it’s Mint in particular?
Yes somewhat because the devs of Linux Mint has created a reputable high quality First User’s Experience to Linux setup.
I’ve never used mint, but isn’t the DE (or WM if you abhor DEs) more important?
Somewhat yes but it’s mostly the combination of all the ingredients that can make or break the lasagna dish.
If we’re comparing the DEs with each other than Plasma would win hands down over Cinnamon but for introductory users looking to switch from Windows or Macs to Linux than DEs are less likely to be an immediate concern.
They all come with a package manager.
Linux Mint would use the APT package manager which is good for beginners as you’d be able to use the same troubleshooting steps as Ubuntu or Debian.
Except maybe Nix, from what I’ve heard
NixOS is complicated to say the least, in which I’ve previously discussed here


Linux Mint is a solid place to start I’d say.
Ubuntu/Canonical has…issues to say the least.
anyways, choosing Linux Mint is a great place to start🤗👍 and I say this as someone that’s tried:
AI slop, what the fuck is the paw size
Op where’s your source?
