5.15. isn't that bad of a kernel version in my experience. Admittedly, I'm don't have any latest gen hardware at the moment, but using one generation back RX 6700XT without problems on it with Mint. Alternatively, one can install the newer 6.x kernels with a few clicks if needed, they are not actively blocked or unlisted.

Also Turks!
Being fed up with constant bullshit and not giving known actors any more benefit of the doubt on their every single upcoming potential bullshit activity is a scary thing to possess when speaking in public spaces.
Just because a clock has sentimental value, looks cool or has some other appeal, many people would be willing to criticize you for calling out that it doesn't work. They'll take any opportunity on your claim to make you look wrong, even if the broken clock shows the right time by mistake once in every 12 hours, rest of which you correctly keep calling out.
For all of our sakes, I, too, hope he doesn't.
2 days is a short time to send them home and get bored so they'd start beating their wives. Give them at least 2 weeks, they earned paid domestic abuse.
Free for me to take, so open your doors or I bring a warship. Not free for you to take, so don't even think of entering competition with me or I'll call you names and ban you.
In this current rogue and genociding state? Yeah some increase in wanting that. Normally? No, all everyone wants is Israel to stop the genocide and give back most of the land it had stole over the decades, not a disregard for an Israeli state to exist, nor even somewhere completely else if they can share the land fairly.
If you are into emoticons, you can use custom emoticons of one server on another. If you share files, such as clips, until recently discord allowed only 8mb on free tier. Now it is 25mb, but can get up to 500mb with nitro. Video streaming is limited to 1080p at 30fps, nitro unlocks up to 4k with 60fps.
Basically allows more bandwidth and storage on their servers, which is understandable I think.
No one is asking for Israel to tear down its walls and emplacements when they shout Free Palestine. Ironically, Bibi knowing but still not taking appropriate defensive measures for the Hamas attack on october, assuming he didn't fund and encourage it directly as some of his interactions with Hamas would suggest, is what caused and keeps causing blood on the other side of the border, too.
Anything else is more surgical than basically unconcentrated carpet bombing of the Gaza cities a few times over. But yeah, at least the U.S. had a bit of "hearts and minds" approach.
This alienation is what gets me. Yes, there is organic and there is fabricated propaganda all over the world, all peoples and cultures have some sort of conflict with another, in the past or ongoing. That will get passed down, to some extent, every generation. But what is the thought process in declining to give the benefit of the doubt to a whole people with very different individuals, some of them are kids, young men and women in their blooming years, going through the same personal problems such as this girl you mention. Do they consider all of them inhuman, even when reminded with the reality of the diverse population? How do they justify thinking this? Do they consider those kids to be future Hamas fighters only? Do they consider those women Hamas breeders only? How can someone have their own lives and be able to understand their societal group at that moment, but not be able to apply the same solidarity to the same civilian that hates the idea of conscription on the other side of a border? If they decide to not apply this solidarity, or at least the thought of giving the same class of individual a benefit of the doubt they would seek themselves if they were on the receiving side of a gun, how do they consider their actions and thoughts to be the right ones?
Although the topics of Israeli people protesting and complaining to their genocidal government about their loved ones being hostages or put through this madness on conscription are understandable and very human, I don't understand why there are no sizeable protests against the genocide their army is committing.
I can think of a few reasons, one being not considering the Palestinians as people, which is plausible when your state has been an ethnostate for so long, as we can see a world history full of the precedents. The information age was supposed to reduce this extreme mass brainwashing and propaganda, but we can see the contrary happen with huge scandalous exposes every year.
The other being forced by the state to stay silent about it, which is pretty much a basic telltale of tyranny in reporting many countries' affairs, but for some reason does not occur when Israel is mentioned, because they still do elections, right? Well, Russia can't have the same 20+ years of elected president, that is fishy and undemocratic, but Israel can have for the better part of the same duration?
The "us and them" mentality around Israel is so crooked that a sane person either has to condemn the whole population for being behind Bibi, or have to call the state as frequently, severely and prominently a rogue and tyrannical one as befitting many others that are currently being called so. Humane and the more probable option would be the latter, but when that is also being derided as anti-semitic, what do you do within the limits of understanding and compromise?
I've been trying out Mint (Cinnamon) for some months now. I have an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and an AMD Radeon 6700XT graphics card, both of which work splendidly on Mint out of the box. This installation is my first ever attempt at using Linux, with dual booting on top of it (on the same sdd with partitioning), but I'd say it set up more nicely than any Windows formatting I've ever done over the years. Writing the .iso file to a USB drive was a bit different than I'm used to using Rufus for Windows, but Rufus can write it.
Mint (Cinnamon) is based on Ubuntu, which itself is a massively changed Debian but with still a good compatibility with it on the surface.
While Arch is great and all, if you are looking for a life-line after years of being a Windows user but finally deciding to not move on to the next Windows version because of all the shit they keep breaking and all the other ad and data mining they do on those versions, Mint is a great starting distro. It gets installed with all the hardware drivers present, for AMD hardware at least but Nvidia should work, too. No need to set up a modern working computer environment with requirement to install anything to get your things working. As long as OS installation goes correctly and it boots up, you are good to go.
As for regular stuff:
- Libre Office is pre installed, and I find it pretty good even tho I had quite the dislike for it before. Select a theme and a layout preset for the toolbar, you are right in your element as if you are continuing to use MS Office.
- Gaming with Steam is just turning on one setting in Steam settings, the compatibility tab (Proton), and that's it. Most games work out of the box. For others, check ProtonDB for what people say about the game. They usually work, or there is a little basic fiddling required at best. I can play Hunt: Showdown with Easy Anti Cheat without a hassle on it. Just another little Proton file installed, that's all.
- For Windows-only programs, you can use Wine. Wine works in the background, and when properly installed, it allows you to just double click any .exes and run them. Programs can be a bit slower than using them on Windows, but most of them work on Linux with Wine if it is what matters to switch from Windows. You can play a lot of non-Steam games through that, too.
- Mint has a Microsoft Store-like program repository where you can install programs and their dependencies with one click. This works well most of the time, but sometimes Flatpak versions of these can be problematic. I've had Steam, Discord and Wine installed through it, and they had problems to some extent. For these, I switched to grabbing .deb installation files through their own websites, or in the case of Wine, installed through its own instructions on its website using a few terminal commands, which isn't more complicated than using Registry editor or Group editor in Windows.
- Most other common stuff has good alternatives, with downsides or upsides. Switching from MPC to VLC, from Photoshop to Gimp, MS Office to Libre Office, etc. The internet forums have many detailed answers to these, or you can always ask for thoughts yourself. There usually is an alternative most of the time.
One thing to keep in mind: As Mint Cinnamon is based on Ubuntu, you can use answers for Ubuntu most of the time. However, while using the answers, keep these in mind as a form of cheatsheet when troubleshooting, or looking for implementing things:
Mint (Cinnamon) v21 and above are based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS called Jammy, not Ubuntu 20.04 LTS called Focal(?). Almost all answers for 22.04 LTS will work on Mint Cinnamon, and all repositories and programs for it will work on Mint, too. 20.04 LTS, or recent 24.04 LTS, will have compatibility when looking for answers, but they are not directly what you are using.
Mint Cinnamon also uses Gnome, not KDE, as the desktop environment, so keep that in mind when looking for answers. It also uses X11 of Xorg by default for its base graphics drawing, not Wayland.
Thanks, this solution worked for me.
Edit: What the hell, I'm trying to reply to a parent comment below.
Keep on trying bot. We believe in you.
Good way to end continued conflict and death with this one simple trick. No more bad feels through media if you accept to take this one day/week/month of gruesome coverage! Who needs to work out, maybe just not put more wood to the underlying problems of conflict when you can simply sit in your comfy home halfway across the planet and not hear about Middle East after nuking it?
Oh, climate change is caused by those who experience the effects the most, so they must be main reason why the climate is going bad? Look how they fucked up their environment, it is basically uninhabitable desert all around already! Those no-good oil-drilling bastards!
On the topic of oil, we also would like to say that we purchase dirt cheap oil from them because our empire toppled the previous empire controlling them, and we agreed to keep slaving and harem-loving tribes in power and actually make them rich by buying oil from them. Oh well, we don't like them being rich tho, so we sell them weapons to keep their slavery and harem-loving, also shariah law enforcing going, all the while taking their richness back into our pockets. That's how good we are, and how bad they are. They basically ask for being nuked, am I right?
/s after writing such bullshit inspired by the comment I'm replying.
Edit: I assumed they are American, but in case they say "I'm not American", my point is moot so let's nuke the Middle East.
Can we go with another fictional character yet? It has been so long since Jesus was added to the lore that the fantasy of it has been waning with all these mundane saints.
I nominate Joker for, erm... you know, always putting on a smile even when getting a beating from Batman the, umm... Dark Knight, which is definitely an evil title, right?
