  • If it is an industry problem, then this sort of event is usually what snowballs into actual change.

    The tip of this case, I believe, isn’t just the caffeine content, but the fact that it:

    • Wasn’t exactly labeled as a high-caf drink.
    • Was often next to, or in place of, non-caf drinks.
    • Was marketed as part of an unlimited drinks program.

    While the company isn’t required to cater to individuals with very specific tolerances of the simulant, they likely had data available to them that suggests that this outcome was always a possibility, yet they supposedly ran the product until people died.



  • I made the same switch earlier this year. The only real issues I can recall were learning to update flatpak manually because it holds up the other updates if I don’t do that through the Konsole first.

    Granted, that might just be my system, but I generally have had far fewer issues with Tumbleweed than I’ve ever had with Mint.

    Oh, and my art tablet gets tagged as a game controller for some reason, but it works for what I need it for so I haven’t bothered to fix it.

    I’m on OpenSuse Tumbleweed right now.

    I got tired of updating version numbers on Mint.

    As a side note, just plugged in a years-old random printer/scanner combo my roommate had been trying to find driver’s for, for hours, on his windows machine. It just worked immediately in Linux, didn’t need to download anything. Suck it, printer!
