Interesting, I hadn’t thought of it that way… fair!

Are they trying to fake their own numbers, or maybe one Linux fanatic who is falsely skewing representation?

Curious: how do we know that these download counts aren’t inaccurate from, like, a few bots repeatedly downloading to mess with the stats?

I feel like the entire, boring indie game Regions of Ruin was carried by its epic music.

What about it was mediocre?!

Homeworld could have done so much more with its 3D premise, yeah, but man, that tutorial music is haunting!

I let this society kills kill my sobriety

Stoicism corrected that statement for you.

Anyone who wants to try Linux but is scared of or reluctant about anything about the process at all: talk to me! There are multiple ways to try it with zero change to your system, like Oracle VirtualBox or a USB flash drive.

Okay, great, thanks. I just hope that Canonical doesn’t do something like forcibly interweave a proprietary blob with a critical updated.

There comes an environmental limit, though, and computers themselves may have already been it without us realizing it, but AI use only hastens our demise: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/59966675

Thanks, I didn’t know that. But then my question is: how dependent is the Mint team on Canonical’s updates to Ubuntu? Is it like Waterfox vs. Firefox?

I was just reading through /r/NobaraProject myself, haha! I may try to stick with Mint Cinnamon for now, though, since I’ve already got it installed…

Pop!_OS was personally a terrible experience for me, even when not on NVIDIA. It seemed great until I actually tried it lol, but I’d recommend almost literally anything else.

Unfortunately, I just read a whole bunch of comments in another post about how Canonical trends so anti-consumer (to Microsoft-like levels) that multiple people are advocating against Mint and even Ubuntu entirely, so now my pickle is rescuing the relatives I just rescued from Windows and OS X from Mint, which they’ve been getting settled in lol. Ugh.
