Linux Mint's user base is all boomers who want an old version of Windows and would be better off actually using an old version of Windows but they bought into "muh security" or another vague belief about why Linux is better even though they have no interest in actually learning the Linux way of doing things and just want everything to work as it did in Windows XP. At least with Ubuntu you learn the Linux way of doing things and the OS is grounded in the Linux philosophy even though it holds your hands through a lot of things. Half of Mint's user base, on the other hands, would be terrified of doing as little as the most basic of stuff in the terminal. Mint has no purpose of existence rather than cater to people who would probably be better off using Windows XP because that's what they actually want.
>>107659559cry to mods to remove it as ragebait instead of accepting the truth that linux was ruined by it own userbase
>>107659555boomers don't use software that doesn't run on linux, all they use is a web browser to check their emails a photo viewer to look at family albums, and 99% of software made in the last 10 years for windows doesn't even run on XP anyway, unless you do some kind of tinkering to get new programs to work, which goes against your idea of "Linux is too hard for boomers so they should use windows" (getting Windows XP to work with modern software and hardware is more difficult than using Linux Mint)you're a retarded shill, most likely hired by microsoft to encourage people to do anything but consider leaving the Windows cattle farm
>>107659599You cant compute that you are marketing your OS as Windows replacement as "privacy first" to people who dont give a shit about piracy, and that you think that lack of users on Linux is not because its graveyard OS for productivityFine, do this 30 more years, we know how first 30 did.
any zoomer talking shit needs to realize your Arch is easier to use every step of the way than the shit we grew up with. nobody under 40 is a real computer guy and never will be.ALso, Mint is the best distro by light years

Arch is the distro that is edgy/autistic/broken but thinks it is awesome. No wonder it's popular among gamers and 4chan
>>107659094I thought the reason it gained traction with gaymurs is solely down to steam doing all their proton work on there specifically. as for the rest of the stuff, you could say that about anyone using linux in general outside of paid working hours.
>>107645984it's niche at best
so how's linux these days when it comes to nvidia cards? last time i tried some games it was dogshit, i was getting like 30% less performance vs AMD cards.
How come there almost no 5k monitors

holy shit, I have been genning for over a year and I just installed sage attention today. So much wasted time.Also, fuck pic related
why are my 2511 outputs sloppy? i keep getting double/triple images and blur. might as well go back to SDXL inpainting
Decades ago Asrock released this. This is the AM2CPU board that you could put on certain Asrock Socket 754 and Socket 939 motherboards that included the Asrock Future CPU port. You could then upgrade those motherboards into AM2 motherboards with this add in card that has the new AM2 cpu socket and new ddr2 slots.Imagine if we had an AM4 motherboard like this. And then once AM5 came out you would just put in your AM5 add in card and now your AM4 motherboard supports AM5.
>>107651507>And you could probably stick with it until Ryzen.LOL. Or stick with it until now and the foreseeable future.
>>107657172i still used the 1055 until a year ago, and bc the lack of avx was givving me many problemsso i bought a cheap fx8300 kek
>>107651294motherboards arent that expensive bro...
There were lots of interesting upgrade paths in the past. Pic related is one Microsoft made for the Apple MacIntosh.>The MacEnhancer came out in 1985 and was a small beige box that connected to the Apple Macintosh 128K's modem or printer ports, expanding the computer's connectivity with an IBM PC-compatible parallel and serial ports. This, as contemporary magazines reported at the time, allowed Macintosh owners to create graphics and then send the images to be printed on IBM PC-compatible printers. Why was this necessary? Apple essentially only had one printer out at the time, the LaserWriter, while PC users had a ton to choose from.>MacEnhancer owners could also connect to modems and other serial or parallel port accessories designed for the IBM PC, opening up a whole world of peripherals that would otherwise have been closed off to Mac owners. In fact, you could say that the MacEnhancer was a very early predecessor to all the MacBook docking stations available on the market now. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
>>107657219They have become very overpriced recently.

>>107658908Yeah no. You can say kike, nigger, any other casual racism on blue boards like always. But as soon as you say anything negative about Indians/Hindu rape rats, you get banned instantly. I have seen this image posted without anything except "why is this allowed" and the Indian Hindu rape rat jannies always remove it and ban the OP. Go ahead, try making the thread yourself. Even on Reddit, you will see occasional negative news about pissrael, but 100% of ALL negative news about India is censored and removed- just compare the daily news reported by India, to what you see if you search "India" on Reddit:https://www.india.com/topic/rape
>>107659287>dems: kikes>republicans: kikesKikes only want Indian Hindu rape rats. Even blacks have fallen out of favor as half of them are getting redpilled on the jews and how they financed the slave ships (see Candace Owens). The 2 billion Indian Hindu rape rats are the perfect golem for the jews: fanatically loyal to jews/pissrael, love raping white women and children, intensely jealous hatred of whites and muslims, breed like rats (25 million births per year), and can send 30 million to every single country on earth and still have 1 billion left in India.

Hello everyone, I have an old desktop PC sitting right there doing nothing. I'm trying to give it a reason to exist and evaluating the idea to install Windows 7 on it.So, can you use Windows 7 in these days? How much do you have to debloat it and uninstall things? And, more important, there's a way to not have it becoming a SECURITY NIGHTMARE?
>>107653034
It must be reiterated that Windows 7 is STILL getting OFFICIAL security updates, through Windows Server 2008, and it only ends next year. Until then, there is no "insta pwn" by connecting a Win7 PC to the internet as long as you know how to install those updates.
>>107647565you'll spend at least 2 days getting updates installed and fixing errors to get updates installed but sure it will work fine.
>>107658844>next year>actually ends in january 2026>in less than one month

I reinstalled THE UNIVERSAL OPERATING SYSTEM for probably the *hundredth time, but used the "expert" text installer for the first time. MELIKES it breddy gud and will use it henceforth. It doesn't really get into "expert" level stuff at all or I wouldn't have been able to handle it without any difficulty. I'd say it's just "moar advanced" than an "advanced beginner" could do without having to ask questions along the way or something.About the only things it let me do for my own setup that the standard text installer doesn't is set timeouts for looking for networks and name the LV. One interesting difference that I simply NOOTICED and thought should be the opposite if anything is that the standard install gets you to set a ROOT password then set up a USER, but the "expert" one gives you the option to not allow root login at all, and will automatically set up SUDO if you choose that. The standard install doesn't have sudo auto-enabled. I would think that the no root but pre-allowed sudo to be moar fitting for the larger percentage of "non-experts" (or WATEVS).
anyone use this gtk4 file chooser backport in mint? can't seem to get it working even though it's built and installed and added to the conf and restarted
