Fucking right? I need to get better at linux. My mint install keeps crashing in weird ways but i haven't cared enough to fix it.

I'm lucky in that almost all software i use that isn't games is foss already.

Fucking "ai"

Hey what if you had a personal assistant who couldn't do anything right and was always slpurnned out of their mind on halucinogens?

Anyone else have their firefox keep crashing on Linux Mint? Particularly when I'm on websites like discord or youtube that aren't just text.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 1 points 13 hours ago

Yes, same. Haven't taken the time to look in to it but I'm having it a lot. Remving the default install of FF and pulling it from the repository or program library or whatever it's called on Linux reduced the frequency of crashes a lot but they still happen.

i'd be okay with this if they were human tbh

They'd provide company and be fun, unlike the cold robotic eye of a windows machine that dissects you in to consumer categories and then sends a unique code describing the position of your moles, which are not shared by anyonje else, to the NSA's death squad division.

Okay but they also inform on you to literally every fed agency billionaire and corporation, and everything they bring you that isn't 'put glue on pizza' was an ad.

And also was snitching on you to literally every corporation and all your least favorite governments! Also maybe some of the ones you like, if you like any and have great access.

Ubuntu is nice. I had mint on my desktop, but I just like Ubuntu way better. I find Ubuntu to be the Windows of Linux, without all of the spyware/malware shit. It's the most popular, it's kept up to date, and it works out of the box.

I'm typing this on Ubuntu from a Windows Surface Laptop Go. This little ultrabook is hella cursed and it just... worked. Ironically, the 5 minutes I used windows 11 on this thing were chugging like hell. This is an Ubuntu only device now.

I have one of those windows surface tablets from an ill-considered mania/panic purchase years ago and I rarely use it because the touch interface is so wretched on windows. :(

Oh, the Surface Laptop Go's are like Macbook Air clones, really nice.

I havent had Mint, but can strongly recommend ZorinOS. It's really polished and they have an Android App (works on GrapheneOS) which makes it an even nicer experience. I only dual boot into windows just for FLStudio. Everything else works pretty nicely and been using it now for 1-2 yrs
