  • Desktop has both Mint and Bazzite. I use both daily.

    Mint can't natively control my display or sound, and it has had issues with internet and the Nvidia graphics card before.

    Bazzite can natively control display and sound, and I haven't had to use the CLI even once.

    New Lenovo Laptop I tried both too. The mousepad and fn shortcuts for brightness and sound didn't work on Mint. Fedora mousepad works perfectly and fn shortcuts work

    Old 8 year HP 4gb ddr4 laptop neither worked well, so went with a lightweight distro that was debian based.

    Old 12 year HP 16gb ddr3 laptop; mint gave internet LAN issues and DVD drive issues, keyboard shortcut for brightness issues. Fedora XFCE no issues.

    Friend's 4 year old Asus laptop; Mint gave issues with WiFi, Nvidia graphics card, and controlling screen brightness. Fedora no issues.

    Another friend had similar issues with their laptop on Mint but said no issues on Zorin btw, and Zorin also worked better on their mom's old desktop. Both are debian based interestingly enough, but Zorin is sort of paid so makes some sense I guess?...

    This is all anecdotal of course, but at least based on what I've seen, Mint has never been as beginner friendly as it seems compared to Fedora in that it usually requires more tinkering. You even see that here with the pro mint comments suggesting some use of a CLI.

  • Weird everyone suggests Mint, when it's way less user friendly then KDE Fedora. I mean, I guess on old hardware Mint is good, but anything newer (like the last 4-5 years) Fedora is pretty much set and forget.

    Same with gaming, Bazzite is a WHOLE lot better than Mint.

  • I'd say do it.

    If anything, consider it a win that your kid loves you enough to insist on you going. It could even be a sign that he sees what she did as wrong. Kids aren't dumb. I can tell you I liked my mom more than my dad in part because he cheated on her. Most likely he just wants to go to the Maldives, but he really really just doesn't want to go with them. Going with you could be his own sense of justice in all this.

    I'd say make sure he can stay with you tho instead of them. I get the feeling that's what he wants.

  • Republicans literally wrote a playbook on how they're going to do it called Project 2025 ya dunce.

    It's clear Americans need to learn the hard way just like Europe did a long time ago.

  • As someone who's only read the title, I don't think I'd like this book.

    I've made bread before, a lot actually. Many kinds with different flours.

    But I've used yeast for years because I couldn't have added phosphorus due to kidney failure (which baking powder has in it). I've also had other less commonly used raising agents like cream of tartar and yogurt. I also made it by hand because could not afford a bread machine or had the space for it. It's extremely messy.

    That said, if you're using baking powder and a bread machine, you might as well just get bread from the store. You're just doing the same as a factory does really. And I'm some cases maybe worse since some factory bread is made with yeast instead anyway.

    If you want fresh bread, you can in most cases just go to a bakery section too these days, from what I remember when I lived in the USA. In EU basically every store has a bakery section with bread made daily tho.

  • I have 2, a 32gb and a 64gb, that I've had for over 6 years I think. Not sure exactly how long since I've had them for a long time - since before I met my wife, so maybe I got them when they first came out?
