Funny enough, if you “need it to look like windows 7” Mint looks pretty close.

but yes, prior to October my house was 5 windows PCs. A couple weeks ago it was officially 5 Pop machines. No prior Linux experience, except for copy-paste setup of a pihole.

I know it technically counts and all, but it bothers me that “mobile” is included in “video games”. Mobile “games” are clickbaits and doomscrolls and it seems weird to compare them in the same graph as Nintendo/PC etc.

HOWEVER - in terms of REVENUE there is no denying how much money they make on mobile games! Probably due in part to the clickbait/doomscroll nature of them.

I also didn’t like the way Mint looked/felt, even though I’m aware of its popularity and good reputation.

I’m on Pop!_OS which is mostly a GNOME desktop, but they do add [remove] features and it’s very smooth and clean. I guess this is one of the miracles of “linux” where we can all be using “linux” but with 1500 different varieties.

I can’t bring myself to watch it, but that candidates can flat out tell blatant, easily disputed, lies blows my mind.

I’m not talking “I was a good president” lies that could be classified as subjective, I mean lies like “when I was president no one died of any disease” type lies that are just contrary to all reality. real-time fact-checking (of that magnitude) and insta-mutes should absolutely be a thing.

I realize “fact-checking” itself can be a slippery slope, so that’s why I try to clarify the black/white nature instead.

after some internetting, very interesting but it never saw service. ‘flail’ style mine sweepers ended up being the better design.

thanks for the random internet today
