Programmer by day, burnt out by night.
I never had good luck making hardware work right with ubuntu Debian, […] always worked way better out of the box on bare metal
Oh the irony!
I’ve been running Mint on my Dell XPS 9370 (methinks) for years and it’s always worked just fine.
Only the fingerprint scanner just won’t work, not even with fprintd; it can set up a finger but never to use that same finger afterwards.
Calm down, he isn’t the sole regent of the kernel, you know.
That’s really, really out of character for Apple.
But then, so was releasing seriously powerful computers.
Maybe that’s cause FLAC encodes audio instead.
It’s really just atomic Fedora […]*
Ah, I do use Mint on my dev laptop but Bazzite on my gaming PC, each has their own usage.
It’s really just Fedora with different defaults, pre-installed software (mostly for Steam, MangoHUD, etc.) and a welcome-screen that helps you set up different software.
There’s an atomic Fedora spin made for gaming, Bazzite, and the experience has been to install, and just go. Everything works, everything is set up for gaming and performance monitoring, it’s actually baffling how good this is!
I realise I’ sounding like a shill, but genuinely it’s great and seems to be what you’re looking for. You can always just try it in a VM!
Not a competitor, fascism. And because the US government passed them a few million to do so.
I can recommend Germany and Netherlands!
I live in NL myself, even though we have complaints (high taxes, delayed trains) I don’t think they’re nearly as serious as I hear from other countries (like US trans people getting declined public services, people living in fear of being deported or killed)
Although we don’t really have affordable housing, I would say that’s a fairly big issue.
The PPP in Germany tends to be a bit better (slightly lower wages, but even lower grocery prices and rent prices), and overall it seems people follow rules and order a good deal better.
Overall, both are good countries to live in IMO. I can’t speak for the UK, though.
Why did you have to say you want to be balls deep in the UK, Netherlands or Germany though…?
What implied there’s a terminal client? I don’t think you mentioned it, either. Did you reply to the correct comment?
Either way, both Gmail and Outlook support POP and IMAP, so if you have a terminal e-mail client there’s an about 100% chance it works with Gmail and Outlook.
At least Google and Outlook accounts support sharing the address book through the account, so it doesn’t matter where you use it from.
Seems like privacy respecting alternatives could do that, too.
That, and safe streets, kind people, clean air, clean water, gorgeous mountains, war safety, high PPP, I could go on…
Why not use an address book?

Hah. Tell that to Mint and it’s bundled software!
Although, Mint’s not alone in this. In general, if Python came pre-installed on your Linux system, uninstalling it tends to break a whole bunch of pre-installed software.
But then, Python is an interpreted language so you need the interpreter installed. You do need JavaScript’s interpreter for Node applications IIRC
I’m using it happily for many years now, even after trying a bunch of other DEs. So I’m surprised reading this and curious to know where it comes from.
What were your experiences, if I may ask?
Ah I guess that makes more sense!
Now if it was Debian with the Gnome DE vs Ubuntu, that would’ve been ironic!
