Both Mullvad and PIA are on AUR for Arch, and they both have .deb packages for debian tree. Mullvad has an .rpm for redhat

Only the board members. Not Musk

Edit news article inaccurate: Musk is in a separate suit not this settlement. I'll dig another link out

Lol. FUD predates the internet.

Someone else linked the wikipedia entry. First coined as an acronym when IBM was protecting its mainframe from competition by Amdahl butthre phrase goes back to the 20s

I have 70 and 80 year olds running Linux Mint without any problems or support hassles (because their old PCs run like dogs on windows and linux is much lighter on old hardware). It also reduces my (unpaid) support effort to nearly zero over constant windows issues.

There's a reason it's one of the most installed desktop linuxes

Install a copy on an old machine, or setup virtual box and try a virtual machine. It even comes with a "try before you buy" mode where if you boot the install USB (you need to create it) you'll boot into a working copy of Mint so you can just give it a try and make sure it works ok on your PC.

Seriously, it's very little different to windows - everything you're likely to want to do is available in a graphical window.

Deleting. Explained in above link to article crunchy to alt-right pipeline

Windscribe at $3 per month is slightly cheaper and less dodgy than PIA. I left PIA for Mullvad when Kape bought them. They're very questionable based on my (then) research.

Something is very wrong here, I've literally restored dozens of times with timeshift and never had it go wrong like this.

Restart the timeshift restore sequence checking very carefully the parameters (you dont have to complete, just go back into it). It should show you a list of what it wants to restore (on the second screen iirc) have a look at that for anything strange (like there not being any files listed to restore for example)

My dude I've been running Linux for literally 20+ years and I still don't feel like I know anything.

Carry on bumbling along doing your best, it's all everyone else is doing.

You've got this

Nice one. Just installed it on android as fritter is dead.

I can't seem to see how to save/bookmark accounts though - is it not available or am I being dim ?

Thanks for the link. So it was the app and extension not the search engine.

Mint is an excellent starting point, and there's good reasons to use flatpaks. If it works for you use it until it doesn't.

Quite the opposite, after fiddling with it for six months I fully uninstalled flatpak and deleted the directory to get away from the fact it kept downloading copies of nvidia drivers when I had moved to an AMD a year ago, and the drivers were locked from being manually removed even after I uninstalled all flatpak packages.

I'm an Arch user, trust me when I say I read the documentation.

After wasting hours on it I nuked it.

It's the AMD GPUs that are much better performing on linux than NVidia. My primary reason for choosing an AMD CPU was bangs for bucks.

Yeah. They stopped using sms a few months ago but divorcing from phone numbers is who knows when

Fwiw I use BAUH on Arch as a graphical package updater which normally works well. Paru is easy to use on the cli

Opt out or mandatory telemetry collection may impact you perhaps ? That's on the table right now

So in the future lots of people 6 and 8 fingets and two thumbs ? Lord the nuclear fallout must have been bad from the war

I run Mint 20.3 on a 10 year old laptop with 8gb with absolutely no problems for the basic stuff I do with it. Upgrading the hdd to an ssd made a huge improvement though.

I would however suggest you install mint 21 (current version)

The only reason the above laptop is on an older version is I'm worried about what I'm going to break if I do (I have a bunch of "non standard" stuff on it) and it currently just works and is still in support...so if it ain't broke...

Not terribly credible. The reddit thread I first saw it on had a translated MoD announcement that only said Wagner were treasonous (but not shoot on sight) and some people arguing that the Russian version looked fake.

Definitely grain of salt for now.
