  • Why does Mint not auto update major versions?

    Jump

  • You answer your question yourself with

    in fear of breaking something and having to reinstall (and losing something in the process)

    Version upgrades are a big thing and unexpected things can happen. Would you be a happy user if the system auto updated to the next version and something truly broke? By forcing manual upgrade they can better inform users about possible unexpected things, and e.g. advice to do backups first. Thus users would be more prepared for this. Also version upgrades take a lot longer time than normal updates since it has update all packages, do other changes to the system etc.

  • I truly hate this. At work I've told everyone that if they just send a "hello" message it will be ignored. I have things to do other then going twenty rounds of "hello" before getting into the actual subject.

  • New Runtime Standby ABI Proposed For Linux Akin To Microsoft Windows' "Modern Standby"

    Jump

  • We don't need this crap on Linux. Sleep is meant to be a low power mode where everything except ram is powered down, and you can pick up near instant where you left off. Not this kind of "sleep" where about everything is running like before. A desktop/laptop isn't a mobile phone where this behavior is the standard.
