Great advice.

Btw you don’t need -S to install a package, just

paru packagename

Works fine

Insert surprised pickachu face here

Well that’s out of character for Google

Yep this is exactly why I refuse to do the scan as you go, it ends up seriously frustrating. Self scan at checkout is fine if you don’t have paracetamol or alcohol, otherwise you’re waiting ages for assistance.

It’s definitely an overall worse experience

Mullvad works fine on both LMDE and stock mint fwiw

Although wikipedia has that as the origin several other internet sources suggested a pagan pre christian origin

Which one though ? There’s literally 4 forks of infinity called Eternity coming up on obtainium

Jerboa is on Fdroid, but it’s not good I’m afraid. The keyboard bug is maddening.

Ubuntu is derived from Debian.

In linux there are 3 “popular” parent trees (plus a couple more obscure ones)

Debian tree, RedHat tree and Arch tree.

Debian is “parent” to Ubuntu is parent to Mint (standard versions)

LMDE applies Cinnamon and Mint tools to Debian.

Mint defaults to LTS. You can install the latest kernel through the upgrade manager

You can install the 6.2 kernel on mint through the upgrade manager gui. It’s just a couple of clicks.

On the other hand Mint has a reputation for “just works” because the defaults are indeed LTS

LMDE is the backup plan the guy you replied to was referencing.

It’s rough around the edges compared to mint cinnamon but it works just fine, just needs a bit more customising attention after the install.

You can have secureboot on mint. On mobile but I’ll search up a link when at desk. It’s not terribly hard given Mint is derived from Ubuntu. Should come up in a search if you’re impatient

Ok but that reddit mod (it was /r/Linux right ? ) was eventually booted for being an utter arse and I’m 98% sure he didnt run Arch (he had a foss purism thing going and iirc was on debian)

I mean toxicity at reddit is why most of us are now on lemmy right ?

Thanks, appreciated.

Edit

I assume you mean 1.35gb of network data per day ? As opposed to per minute / per second etc

What’s the hardware and network demand like ? I’ve been vaguely thinking of doing so myself.

Sure but that’s true of any packaging system. The .deb or .rpm you just downloaded off not-a-scammer-honestly.com could just as easily be malware.

That was in 2018…

The AUR has the same risks as adding a ppa to a debian tree install, or downloading an rpm from a website.

If it’s not in the official repository of your repo treat with caution

Cool. Good article - which shows exactly what I said.

Solve is not the same as reduce/improve/alleviate.

As Musk knew full well when he tweeted it. No one has a solution for it, the best you can do is alleviate it for a bit.

Is he being a pedantic dick ? Yes. Did the original tweeter provide a plan to solve world hunger. No.

He provided a plan to reduce world hunger for a time. It’s not a solution, it’s a reduction in misery which I’d be very happy if Musk paid for. But it’s not making world hunger entirely go away even short term let alone long term.

Aid spokesman engaged hyperbole drive and tweeted “if a billionaire like @musk gave us $40bn we could solve world hunger”

Musk replied “ok i’m listening, show me how you can solve it, if it sounds real I’ll write the cheque”

Aid spokesman (back pedalling) “well not solve as such, but definitely make better”

Musk “whatevs then”

I mean he does say so much actual stupid shit, why do you guys keep making shit up ?

Edit to add not verbatim I can’t be arsed to go find the tweets now he’s fucked twitter

OP claims to have successfully installed arch to confirm it’s not a hardware issue fwiw
