I like some of their songs. Despise others. They have changed sound so much over the years that I'd be surprised if that wasn't the answer everyone gave.
I'm fairly certain a history of being tried in court because you're a trigger happy murderer also likely disqualifies you from joining the armed forces. That's too much of a ticking pipe bomb even for them.
I have their duffel pack 2, I've had it since 2018 or 2019? Great for a gym-going office worker who packs lunch, doubles as a good personal item for flights. Love that bag.
An explanation from one of the maintainers explaining why they removed the toggle from the UI and try to hide it from users because it's going to be deprecated eventually:
If you happen to care, what you were doing with the program Rufus was creating a "bootable media". Think back in the day when you had to buy a Windows CD and insert that to install or update Windows. This is kind of the evolution of that. An operating system installer can be loaded into a thumb drive (some utilities even let you put many on one drive, and then you can choose between them) and then you tell your computer to read from the USB drive first (which you did via the BIOS boot menu configuration) and instead of booting up your installed Windows, it gives you the option of installing whatever is on your USB drive.
This is fortunately often a pretty painless process, creating the USB boot loaders isn't hard, and virtually every single Linux distro out there can be installed in this way.
Glad you're enjoying Mint, and excellent choice for a new Linux user. If you like it, you'll never need to change to anything else.
I've been using fedora since 2016 and love it. Switched to the KDE spin 2-3 years ago and love that even more. It's the right balance of fully-fledged OS while still letting me tinker. I don't have time for Arch-level setup BS, and distros like Mint and Manjaro and Ubuntu felt too clunky and restrictive to me.
If she's young, help her build good habits. The important stuff has to happen first, before the fun stuff. That's not just for video games, that's everything.
If she also likes sports or playing an instrument or reading, help encourage a healthy balance. I personally game 3ish hours a lot of evenings. I also exercise 2ish hours each day because I like to. I don't feel like I'm giving up potential time for one by spending time on the other because I enjoy both and I balance them.
Wonder if Merlin plans to bypass this somehow.
