The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT pride began in San Francisco, California, but eventually became common at LGBT rights events worldwide.

Originally devised by the artists Gilbert Baker, Lynn Segerblom, James McNamara and other activists, the design underwent several revisions after its debut in 1978, and continues to inspire variations. Although Baker's original rainbow flag had eight colors, from 1979 to the present day the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically displayed horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

LGBT people and allies currently use rainbow flags and many rainbow-themed items and color schemes as an outward symbol of their identity or support. There are derivations of the rainbow flag that are used to focus attention on specific causes or groups within the community (e.g. transgender people, fighting the AIDS epidemic, inclusion of LGBT people of color). In addition to the rainbow, many other flags and symbols are used to communicate specific identities within the LGBT community.

Also, would it be okay if I DM you for advice? Someone on the Mint forums told me that Mint doesn't support ARM. I don't know what ARM is, which is what I have and that might give some indication as to how much of a novice I am lmao. Or at least let me know if I'll be in way over my head since I do not know what these things are (Raspberry Pi, Snapdragon etc I have no clue)

Oh that's totally okay, yeah! I don't know much about Mint specifically but I think I could probably help regardless

ARM (nowadays mostly ARM64) is the type of processors used in mobile devices, single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi, and the "Apple Silicon" Macbooks. Snapdragon is a brand of ARM processors made by Qualcomm for phones and tablets. If you're using a regular desktop or laptop, the type of processor is AMD64, also called x86-64.

I have a microsoft surface, and it says its ARM64 with Snapdragon so I think I'm SOL
