  • I feel like Linus has a good heart, but I think the constant pressure to be relevant has kinda ruined his personality over the years (at least on camera). I have fond memories of LTT’s videos like 8 years ago, but now they’re overproduced for my taste; they just don’t seem genuine anymore. Same old story as most anyone that makes it big, I know.








  • On the flip side, if you still need a power cable anyway, it’s usually way cheaper to bundle the media (and optionally control/network) signals into the same cable than using wireless. (Sidenote: Honestly it’s kinda weird to me that we haven’t seen hardly any of this in consumer spaces. The newer USB-C revisions could easily supply power, display, audio, and network to the average TV over one cable.)

    Now, with true wireless power (I’m thinking of this video in particular), that proposition can change dramatically.






  • Mint is FOSS and free of hardware restrictions, so if you don’t mind having to teach yourself how to fix the odd issue here and there, it’s probably the better option. That said, macOS is definitely a more seamless and full-featured experience (whether that matters to you is personal preference). I use it plenty at work, it’s pretty nice for the average user. Personally, I switched from Windows to Mint years ago, but now I’m on KDE Neon because I needed Wayland support and fell in love with KDE Plasma in the process. Mint/Cinnamon should be stable on Wayland within the next year or two though, so that’s cool.



  • The problem is asking a fundamentally subjective question in a way that presupposes it to be objective truth.

    If you instead asked,

    What are some advantages that Linux Mint and macOS have over each other?

    …you might get more useful answers—from people, that is. AI will just give you what you think you want to hear.
