  • Linux Mint isn't the answer for Windows refugees anymore

  • if you wanna put Linux on a brand new Christmas gift laptop, I think 6.14 could definitely be too old

    in some cases even 6.17 might be too old

    If the Mint installer uses 6.8, can you even install it on brand new hardware? missing a laptop's wifi drivers would be a huge pain cause then you can't update it without a usb->ethernet adapter

    that would be enough frustration for most users to turn back to Windows

  • is Mint still using old kernels? That could hurt hardware compatibility especially with newer hardware

  • I'm guessing there's drama inside Microsoft too, we just don't usually hear about it lol

  • Post on r/BuyFromEU on the recent surge of users to PieFed

  • Yeah PieFed and Lemmy interoperate really well. You can check out their communities like !movies@piefed.social

  • What's a good instance to recommend for EU? We all need to stop saying piefed.social lol

  • Post on r/BuyFromEU asking about a reddit alternative.

    Jump

  • the defeatist attitude drives me crazy

    No unless europe can develop local social media that aren't a barron wasteland so they can actually convince people to make the switch.

    and it's getting upvotes

  • Is there any service that provide a community growth chart on lemmy?

  • can you elaborate?

  • I think Fedora and all these rolling distros are too aggressive with updates. You gotta let changes simmer and get tested long-term before sending them to the mainstream users. But LTS is too slow. Kubuntu does it right, every 6 months is enough.

    And of course Fedora hates Nvidia, so Bazzite should be doing their own extra testing of every update for Nvidia drivers or the kernel before pushing out the updates.

  • would be good to total up the Threadiverse numbers (Lemmy+PieFed+Mbin)

    will be extra interesting to see these numbers in a couple days, especially when today (Feb 1st) is finished and added into the stats

  • Is it worth upgrading from 24.04 to 25.10?

    Jump

  • I don't like LTS, doesn't make much sense for home desktops. I say upgrade your Kubuntu to 25.10, much easier than switching distros.

    And then maybe enable the backports ppa if you want even faster updates.

     
            $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
    $ sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y

    Or you can just do faster point releases, slightly more stable than backports

     
            $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa
    $ sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
