  • what to do ... people start verbally abusing me

    When I was 18, I started hangin out with a different crowd. ADULTS (of any age). If I was wrong, they'd explain why nicely. And vice versa. Learned a lot.

  • What makes you think it's most people? Who you hangin out with?

    Remember, Confucious say: If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.

  • Obviously we have to impose a way to make them care much more about that. (If they can stand the shock of a better grip on reality or not.)

  • You can install Mint alongside Win in a dual-boot configuration ... then you can switch to it to figure out the gaming situation. (You just need to learn how to do that dual-boot install carefully. I recommend reading in the LM forums to learn that: https://forums.linuxmint.com/ ) OR you can install LM on a second drive, as many have.

  • Ssshh. They're using their imagination.

  • Agreed. Tho there are places where insects cause many deaths from disease (eg malaria) ... Best if those could be very specifically targeted at those insects only (not 'broad-spectrum').

  • Have had mine on the right for years, with the top used for App tabs. I keep a few folders on the left. Taskbar includes a 'minimize all windows' option. (XFCE)

  • Pretty sure that those who are profiting most believe they will somehow escape.

  • All war is insane. Repeat ALL.

    Generally stirred up by those with the most to gain. Make them fight it out then. Anyone else is killed, THAT'S a crime.

    And there are always ONLY losers.

  • It's hard to be humble and eat a little crow without trying to explain a little. Going overboard isn't hard when you're flustered. Happens. Watch for those face softens then stop. Nobody's perfect.

  • I think the last time I installed Mint (21.2) it DID create a swapfile. Don't use it, so commented that out in /ETC/FSTAB.

  • When I started with Linux, I was happy to learn that I didn't need a bunch of separate partitions, and have installed all-in-one (except for boot of course!) since. Whatever works fine for you (-and- is easiest) is the right way! (What you're doing was once common practice, and serves just as well. No disadvantage in staying with the familiar.)

    After I got up to 8GB memory, stopped using swap ... easier on the hard drive -and- the SSD. (I move most data to the HD ... including TimeShift ... except what I use regularly.)

    I use Mint as well; for me this keeps things as simple as possible. When I install a new OS version (always with the same XFCE DE) I do put THAT on a new partition (rather than try the upgrade route and risk damaging my daily driver) using the same UserName. A new Home is created within the install partition (does nothing but hold the User folder.)

    To keep from having to reconfig -almost everthing- in the new OS all over again I evolved a system. First I verify that the new install boots properly, I then use a Live USB to copy the old User .config file (and the apps and their support folders I keep in user) to the new User folder. Saves hours of reconfiguring most things. The new up-to-date OS mostly resembles and works like the old one ... without the upgrade risks.

  • What if it looked like Iggy Pop? Zac Efron?

  • A built-in 13-megapixel ultra wide-angle camera can be used to capture photographs and videos I bet other people won't like the camera any more than they did with Google Glasses.

    Photos can be viewed using the “Center” website on any web browser. Want to see photos? Gotta go to the website. All photos therefore shared. Along with notes, music listened to, reminders .... Nuh-uh!

  • could be kind of annoying to export and backup.

    True that. Altho, if I were doing a blog, it'd be from stuff I wrote and then posted. (As for comments, how many are worth saving? Present company excepted of course.)

    I thought about it too, but I really like HTML and CSS, and prefer a place I can use them. (I'd get interested if I could put anything I want inside a styled

    <div>

    ...

    </div>

    , but sadly few places accomodate that. What they're worried about I'm uncertain. I'm HOPING that such sites will arise in the Fediverse.)
