I just wish more distros made their terminal prompt and updater look as good as Gentoo's, it's weirdly the one thing I miss most about messing around with it

For me it was AOL chat rooms and Star Trek role play that got my typing speed up, later followed by wow when voice chat was uncommon and communicating during a dungeon or raid required typing fast to not interrupt what you needed to do

Yep... Mint is always following the current LTE version of Ubuntu, usually behind them by a couple months, which is going to be a few months to a year behind on most packages at the time of release, and will be another two years before getting a new feature update

Anything not system level (such as the DE), if you want the latest, Flatpak. Anything else, your options are to wait a few years, try to shoehorn it in yourself and deal with the dependency hell, or hop to a distro that uses the version you want.

Even the latest version of Mint that just released about a month ago doesn't have KDE 6 yet, and it'll probably be two years before it's available. Which is why I'm thinking of switching to Fedora for a while.

As the old Microsoft saying went, "it ain't done til Notes don't run"

It really is about the best settings app I've ever used, especially where it highlights the settings that have been changed from defaults

What does the login screen have to do with mobile? They've had them since at least Windows 95 (I forget if 3.1 had one), and they've been evolving every release.

If you mean the screen before the login, that's been around since at least Windows 95 too, though it didn't used to be default and required you to press Ctrl+alt+del to dismiss (which before win95 would reboot your computer)

It ain't done til GRUB don't run?

Just taking a guess here but the controller was probably brought up as evidence for how much they were cutting corners and disregarding safety and good sense, not as the cause of the failure

This is why I switched to Bitwarden, will probably move it to self hosted at some point as well

I've started putting mine into my Bitwarden vault as well as Google auth, mainly because I'm a bit paranoid I'll wind up locked out of something by trusting a second factor too much

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that Flatpak aren't centrally managed...

Looking forward to it... Been meaning to switch to pipewire for a bit hoping it'll fix some sound issues I've been having but never getting around it to, and wanting to try KDE 6+ to see if it improves running stability/crashes (and again, haven't gotten myself around to doing it myself)

Probably even switch back to Cinnamon for a bit and see if it fixes the issues I was having with it
