Linux Mint is Debian with snaps without snaps!
(I am now going to take this opportunity to point you all towards Linux Mint DE (Debian Edition))

… there is only one
Fun fact! It’s still racist.
3·4 days agoWas the Titan a Forgotten Beast? I saw one of those at least once per fort. Once it was a completely helpless squirrel made of ears that got caught in a trap without my noticing, once it was a colossal brass spider that casually strolled through my fortress, sticking all my surviving dwarves onto walls and ceilings with a web cannon. I had to wait for those dwarves to die of dehydration, since the fort isn’t considered lost while they’re still alive, but they couldn’t free themselves to eat or drink.
2·5 days agoYes but you don’t need it. WSL2 comes with WSLg these days, and can draw to your Windows desktop without an external graphical server.

Specifically Linux Mint Debian Edition
From a broad enough perspective, everything is user error
Sideloading is a perfectly good word for a legitimate act.
It’s not “just installing software on a computer”. It’s installing software on a tethered device.
Don’t let them twist the word’s meaning in order to demonize people.
25.10 isn’t on the main upgrade path. Serious users migrate to the new LTS every two years, and very serious users pay for the twelve-year support plan.
Furthermore, 25.10 is a short-term release that exists as a preview for 26.04. 25.10 will receive security patches for nine months. 26.04, as an LTS, will receive security patches for up to 12 years (most of which are paid). Nobody should be seriously migrating to 25.10.
If coreutils-rs does get into the official release of 25.10 and totally tanks it, well, that’s what short-term releases are for.

I’m sure the quality is nice but I’m just gonna scribble Tux in with sharpie.
Vnc is tried and true
You have to configure it???
Yeah, two seconds in: “no, you’re not supposed to do that, obviously it’ll break if you do that”
No that was me
