I used Linux Mint on bare metal for several months before going back to Windows because I needed something that did not work on Wine.
Now I no longer need that shit so I am read to back to Linux.

Should I keep using Mint or take the next step to a distro that's more advanced? What even is the next step after Mint?

Windows 95 was when the personal computer really took off for me. DOS and 3.1 felt bloated and archaic, but the whole tech world moved in such an exciting direction with that wonderful Start menu, CD-ROMs, and DirectX 3D graphics. https://youtu.be/yXZb7ybbz_8?list=PL4lROtjMOiJG7fB-74UxS7ob8Zp67U1-L

The system requirements were too much of a jump from XP, and they tried to soften the blow by lowering the numbers required to put "Vista capable" stickers on things. This resulted in lots of Vista machines being sold with really bad specs that could barely run it.
Also, hardware makers were just getting used to the new driver model so there were some shitty drivers that made things crash.

I was running a desktop in 2006 with 1GB RAM and virtual memory disabled, I only had to re-enable it because Command & Conquer 3 ran out of memory. Then used 2GB for a while. I don't remember if I ever upgraded to 4GB (still have that computer mind you), but in 2013 my next setup used 16GB.

I recently had a funny interaction, i took a piss at a starbucks and didn't buy anything. There's two indians wearing jackets and sandals in 55 degree weather drinking coffee outside using ridiculously oversized android tablets, speaking some impenetrable hindu gobbedygook with "14 inch" "amoled" "galaxy" peppered through. They see this meme phone in my hand and they're too polite or illiterate to say anything to me about it but it's obvious that they're gawking at it. Not in a jealous way, in a mocking way.

But they're indians holding comically oversized tablets outside of a starbucks. It dawned on me that their society is built on caste based elitism so they think that holding an even bigger and more expensive ipad makes them look successful. But they just look like stereotypical third worlders, some white guy with a cheap blackberry clone completely shatters that illusion

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

It fucking sucks compared to xft.dpi, makes everything a blurry fucking mess if they don't use the latest wayland protocol (almost nothing does, including chromium)

I wish wayland had an equivalent to xft.dpi which is much better than the blurry crap.

Altough if a program implements the latest wayland protocols it can do fractional scaling without resizing by directly rendering at the desired scale.

Most people who decide to use the GPL will simply go for GPL v3 because it's newer. Linus Torvalds has criticized GPLv3 several times, especially about the Tivoization clause, but he doesn't care about freedom so maybe we shouldn't care what he thinks about licenses.

None of us wants devices where we can't install our choice of software on it, so the GPLv3 does actually make sense, though I still have to ask - which of the two licenses are better, and why?

>GPLv2 vs GPLv3
what license you choose does not matter. your code is probably shit and I don't want to use it. on the off chance that you wrote good code and I want to use it, then I'll use and modify and republish it however I want, and you won't do shit. You won't even bother submitting a DMCA to ShitHub. You probably won't even find out that I've ripped your code and put it in my project.
If you believe otherwise, consider that I'm using pirated software from about 10 different corporations and none of them are gonna do jack shit.
>>
>>107888062
Linus is a lefty cuck "vibe coder" now, his opinion on the license is irrelevant.
