>>106462748Looks outdated and my friends would bully me if they saw that, they'd think I bought some ugly chinese knockoff computer and couldn't afford Windows or Mac
>>106462748>still on Ubuntu LTS 24.04>still stuck with packages from years ago>still no good DE options>still no Btrfs>still no zramyawn
>>106462756>my friends
>>106462748>>106462788good bot!>>106462756>>106462770bad bot!
Get off the Steam Deck, grandpa!
>>106462748Mint 22.2 Is Out
>>106462770>Ubuntu LTS 24.04I'm still on Ubuntu 22.04 because it just werks
>>106462748Never knew this, seems quite petty.
>>106462770>still no good DE optionsCinnamon+Cinnamenu is great, I like it's a compromise between classic and modern UI. People love KDE but I think it's fucking ugly and messy, and Gnome is unusable unless you install a ton of extensions.
>>106462770To be frank, I like cinnamon. Granted, I go for a minimalist desktop and don't do any ricing, but it has been mostly out of the way and lets me write my memos and send my emails in peace
>>106463595Hi Frank
>>106462770>still on Ubuntu LTS 24.04I dont know if you know this but this is how stable point releases work.
>>106463611Sup
>>106463445You’re implying that Linux is suited to well adjusted people. These people work for free because companies don’t want to hire em.
>>106462756You can change the theme extremely easily, it looks better than your faggot shit alreafy though
>>106462770Btrfs is already available as an option in the installer even if not the default one, mate/xfce/cinammon totally beat faggot DEs like kde and gnome, and zram is a dumb choice use zswap instead which works better and is trivial to setup yourself if you aren't a retard>muh ltsIt's the most reliable release model and you can just use flatpak or ppa's for the few things you actually need to be new
>>106463445Literally everyone hates snap except canonical, it's actually a big reason to avoid ubuntu these days. Flatpak won and is setup out of the box in mint instead
>Still no practical WaylandJesus, GNOME has been Wayland-ready for 9 years now.
>>106462770>BtrfsUse case?
>>106466009It will never be non-fag ready though
>>106466009I struggle to see a difference between GNOME with dash to panel and Cinnamon anyways.
>>106466009But when will wayland be ready? It's been 17 years, and it still needs 2 weeks to reach feature parity with X.
>>106462748Kino.
Wanted to use it, I really liked it. But, Mint 22.2 was having a strange video issue with retroarch. Parts of the screen were cropped out, unless I resized the window all around the screen to try and "center" back the picture. Sigh.
>>106462748Now we just have to hang on like so much dead weight until they give in and rebase off Devuan or Artix, and fork GTK.
>>106462748Love me Mint, but I am really not a fan of these big gay rounded system buttons. Give me a toggle for something less.....homosexual please. That's all I ask.
>>106463445yall are WAY far behind on the state of tech...imagine that its entirely AI and $5 poo-in-loos trolling.... youre wasting your time trying to blame
>>106468477That's a theme parameter, switch to something more to your liking or just outright change that shit in its CSS.
>>106468569tf is bro on about
>>106465929what's wrong with zram?
>>106468717DEPRECATED
>WaylandI sleep
>>106462770>still no zramWhy would you need to page lol. You must be RAM-poor or use a ton of browser apps
>>106469151Browser RAM usage is highly compressible, might as well use it and it only takes 5 commands to enable it permanently.It typically can compress 11GB worth of tabs down to about 4GB usage.Also I can't upgrade my laptop past 16GB RAM.
i started with mint many years agonow i come back to mint after many years of distrohopping desu
