The name definitely needs work
I do a lot of photography and I share it on my deviant art page.
The name definitely needs work
An unsurprising decision but still horribly disappointing.
Might be a controversial take but I don’t mind them blocking unverified flatpaks by default, what I do mind is that when enabled they don’t show the rating and reviews for said flatpaks.
I’m not sure if that was addressed in this latest version but that’s they way it was not too long ago
Bummer
I’ve got to agree with you on that one
I finally removed all my subs from over there
Couldn’t take it anymore
If it works it works
It does everything she needs so she keeps on using it
Plus she got her rig from me as a gift a number of years ago
Especially stuff that’s really important
Edit: or is that just me? Though it has gotten easier since getting a diagnosis and developing strategies to deal with my ADHD.
I installed Linux Mint on my Mom’s and Grandma’s PCs as it’s one I use for most of mine. They took to it like a duck to water.
My Mom has a little bit of growing into it as she plays a lot of videogames (literally more than I do lol) but it’s been smooth sailing.
My Grandma primarily does stuff in her browser so for her it was more of a new skin for her PC.
My Mom is running a system with a R5 1600 and a RX 580 and my Grandma is running a Intel Broadwell CPU (I can’t remember which kind with integrated graphics.
To get my Grandma into Linux required some prep before hand teaching her about doing all of her office stuff in her browser because she was rude or die on Microsoft Office. Now she’s ride or die for Google’s office suite (not perfect but primarily painless for me).
For my Mom it was pretty simple after she started getting pop-ups to upgrade to Windows 11 and then being told her system doesn’t support it. Also her finding out that Windows 10 was going EoL in 2025 really helped.
I didn’t know about the 16-bit support, which is really cool to say the least
I see myself as still somewhat of a noob to Linux
And sometimes the Windows only software is more “Windows only” and works with Wine
Windows 3D Builder though is firmly in the Windows Only category though. Which is a bummer because in my experience it’s the best at repairing 3D models for 3D printing that have errors like holes, redundant geometry, inverted faces, etc.
I’m enjoying Linux Mint so far
I’m thinking I may hope around to a distro using a newer kernel but meh
Mint is pretty nice
Edit: My “meh” is because Mint has been super stable for me and I’m not really sure that the effort to switch distros is worth it given that my systems are already rock solid.
If memory serves it costs them something like $10k per year 4 years ago for the Adobe suite.
Short sighted LTT video?
Checks out
Seriously though transitioning your team to a new software suite will suck at first but it’s worth it in the long run. Long term gains vs short term gains and all that.
Yeah it’s lip service, but it’s lip service they pay due to feeling like we are a marketable demographic.
They feel that advertising to us as a group and making the haters mad is more profitable than the alternative.
The devs mention that as the recommended method on their GitHub (which I also recommend as it’s way easier)
Activating Windows is so easy nowadays
Link for those that want to check it out for research purposes.
Edit: It works with Office too
The worst is if someone sends me a YouTube short
That shit just digs it’s claws in my brain something fierce
There’s definitely more than that lol
Any tips on where to start in that regard?
I heard that Nemo (the default file manager for Linux Mint) has bulk rename abilities baked in but that’s all I’ve heard about that
Make sure to use official White House stationary for it, that way it’s official presidential business.
