No, we have to post these when it's the year of the Linux desktop

Am I overthinking it? in c/[email protected]

Yeah, you're overthinking it. Installing a single program is a "use sparingly" situation.

People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome? in c/[email protected]

Yeah, exactly. If a person asks for a recommendation they don't trust their own skills enough to make their own decision or distrohop.

I feel like a website is needed to recommend a distro to people based on a very varied set of criteria that doesn't just ask "Do you like stability over all? Debian"

Anybody that already has had a computer for 2 years and is coming from Windows will have almost no problems with Mint. Stability is top priority for first time Linux users and you need some visual guide with screenshots. Mint also has a great default look and setup for people coming from Windows. Mint is probably the best distro to put on your mom's old laptop that is "getting slow" because of viruses.

I'd recommend KDE Neon or Ubuntu also depending on the situation but if I don't know anything about the person and computer I'd say Mint.

Currently all you have to do is heat up an insulated pile of sand with almost free electricity and stick a pipe in too.

There's a method to put headphones into your pocket without them tangling. Fold them in half always instead of coiling them up.

I got an HP printer and it's prints reliably when connected via USB but that's about it.

Iceland, where I'm from, has had it for ages in pretty much every house.

Chrono Trigger (SNES 1995) (lemmy.world)

I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today.

Music is amazing. Characters and character development is amazing. Story is very good. Combat is genuinely fun instead of feeling like a chore that cuts you off from the game. Art style is amazing.

I was surprised how much quality they could fit onto the SNES back it the day, it's a really good game and everyone with a potato can ploy it.

Pro tip: Remasters have some UI unpleasantness so it's best to stick to SNES emu version. I tried the Android and they used some native android font that ruined the immersion a bit. There's also a tight running section that's particularly unsuited for the mobile version. SNES is best, as originally intended.

Who of you guys are on an "Unknown" OS? (gs.statcounter.com)

I've been wondering how many Linux users are being listed as unknown by statcounter out of curiosity. There has been a big global bump "Unknown".

Obvious ones are UserAgent spoofers Vpn users but I feel like that's pretty niche. I'm wondering if SteamOS, Endeavour and BSD show up as Unknown. Furthermore, will just all non-Ubuntu based OS?
