  • I don't consider being on Threads as being "on the fediverse". My definition of the fediverse is servers that follow the Activity Pub protocol to interact with each other. You might disagree with that definition, but Threads only lets us "follow" (view-only) certain of their accounts (only about 2000 out of millions) from Mastodon. Those accounts do not see any replies to their post from the fediverse, or any fediverse posts at all for that matter--we are invisible to them. So no, he's not "on the fediverse", he's on Threads. I doubt he knows the fediverse even exists.

  • You could go for the best of both worlds and use Mint LMDE (Debian Edition). But if only using it as a server, plain Debian should be all you need.

  • I use the Menu key for my compose key, since I never used it for anything and it's conveniently right next to the right Ctrl key.BTW if you want to see the combos that are possible with the Compose key, look in /usr/share/X11/locale/enUS.UTF-8/Compose

  • Fortunately Linux Mint will continue to package it as a deb.

  • I think MATE is the best balance between lighter weight and ease of use.

  • "I think we have really reached the year of the Linux desktop with Linux Mint 21.3 – Virginia."

    And just in time, too--we're almost at the end of the alphabet! ;-) (I'm also a Mint user, since 2014)
