    What does the Debian Edition bring that regular Mint doesn’t? My headless server is running a Debian-based distro (Raspberry Pi OS), so most of my Linux knowledge is based on Debian. Would installing the Debian Edition of Mint on my laptop make more sense (in this case) than regular Mint would? Why did you make the recent switch?

    Edit: Oh, it’s “just” Mint with the Debian DE?

    This is, in some regards, similar to rape…

    Edit: to clarify,

    Another issue is that windows a predatory person will eventually force a reboot on rape you with pending updates upknocking. You can sometimes postpone it for a while, but eventually you’ll be in the middle of something and it they will just do it anyways.

    Hopefully, we’ll agree that rape is much worse, but the underlying principle is the same: some entity abuses something you own - your body/property. Since you’re the owner, you exclusively should be in control.

    Unfortunately, it can sometimes be necessary to leave an abusive partner/OS. This can be challenging if you “need” one but they’re all evil and dominating. M$ is not abusing its users as violently as some people are abusing their partners. However, their subtle abuse of their users takes place on a much bigger scale. Not only in this (pretty unimportant) regard, but also by e.g. unwanted telemetry/tracking. Luckily, non-abusive partners of the Linux family are becoming easier to find and date, and many are already flirting with one or more of them.



  • It’s like a rat but cute, right??

    btw do you know how to press Ctrl on my keyboard? I have already found the key of C, they’re all white and sound good, kind of like an organ, but I can’t see any Ctrl key. Also, do I need to press the entire key of C at once to copy? It’s gonna sound intense! But I haven’t learned using all 10 fingers yet for the keyboard. I only use two, so it will be hard to press them all at once while also pressing Ctrl once I find it! Is it one of those black keys? Actually I haven’t even heard about the key of V yet… So I can’t paste before I’ve learned a lot more! I’ve only learned A to D by now. And btw how do I compile in C#? Is keyboard really supposed to be so hard to use???
