Anytime I’ve seen this error is because I’m messing about with partitions, the last time was a few months ago when migrating to a larger disk, so I’m not too sure about those 90%.

In any case, sounds like a very helpful tip if the error just shows up out of the blue.

Heeey, another Windows to Mint convert! I did the same thing a couple of months back and have been having a great time, hope it goes smoothly for you too!

I like to imagine that the early heroes who programmed in punch cards and basically raw machine code knew exactly what the CPU was the computer was running, but who knows…

Compiling your own packages only ensures that, well, you’re running packages that you compiled. This definitely does not mean that your computer is running what you intend at all.

Half the time I don’t know what my CPU is executing, and that’s code that I wrote myself.

I still can’t play my videos on Firefox without transcoding them, so I honestly hope they get it right this time.

Even in Xfce ALT+F4 closes windows. Maybe bro changed it at some point and forgot about it

NGL, you had me in the first half…

They got me, installed Mint a couple of weeks ago

I purged the Windows partition yesterday, fellt like pouring bleach on a stain…

This reminds me a lot of that area in Norman Reedus And The Magical Feetus… where you meet Mama I think?

Are you me?! Also just migrated to Mint, and I’m really impressed. Good level of polish, and stuff just works out of the box.

Currently still have it on dual boot, I’ll give it a week or two and I don’t need Windows in that time I’ll move it to my main M2 SSD and ditch M$

You’re appealing to authority instead of presenting real arguments.

I’m not sure that’s why.

My two cents: I got really annoyed with windows after a random update pushing stuff I don’t want or need, so I spun up Ubuntu. I’ve used a lot in the past, but stopped using it because of anti-cheat in some games, got tired of switching whenever I wanted to play.

Coming back, I find out about snaps. Not a good start, but I found instructions to revert to the good old apt packages I wanted. But then I spent way too long trying to coax the taskbar/system/clock to appear where I wanted them to, plus having things working well in my multi monitor setup, and at some point I just went back to Windows.

I couldn’t care less about distro squabbles, but I do care greatly about usability and polish, and it seems like we’re taking steps back here.

Try finding a triple A game released in the last 10 years that hasnt been heavily designed around multiplayer

What? In 2024 alone, would you say games like Alan Wake 2, Baldurs Gate 3 or Elden Ring are “heavily designed around multiplayer”?

Sure you have your FIFA’s and CoD and a bunch of other MP games, but single player games are still a thing.

Oh I was wondering where you got the uranium for the glass…

Great, as soon as you have that working we’ll just make it useless in Ubuntu and rebundle everything plus their mothers in a snap

Torvalds rejected the merge, and that’s pretty much what he said - no one is using bcachefs.

There’s no reason for a “fix” to be 1k+ lines, these sorts of changes need to come earlier in the release cycle.

It’s complicated. Technically no, but God can roll out a new image with the updates, so in practice, yes?

Why is religion never simple…

I get the feeling in OPs post, but for those unfamiliar, there are more people on the ballot other than the 2 main picks. This even varies by state, as they can have different criteria for defining who makes it to the ballot.

So perhaps a black woman has at some point ran for president (as in, made it to the ballot at least)?

There were payphones at school and the mall so it was easy to get in touch.

I’m old enough to recognize this is not irony.

Technically, isn’t this a different thing? Genuinely asking.

There could be a license that forbids use (sort of like the CC no commercial use license) but still allows the code to be reviewed publicly, no?
