I think he’s referencing the flathub install button where you can just hit install.

Snap is not all bad if you’re on a Ubuntu based distro, I just don’t like the way it’s pushed and that it comes from Ubuntu mostly. Startup time is a major issue for me also, but all in all it works.
I’m still sitting on the fence, heavily prefer flatpak but when Ubuntu is going to package nvidia drivers in a snap it’s a thing I’m up for trying.
My understanding is that if I’m on Ubuntu and the snap uses the same underlying Ubuntu version as my distro it should be fast but I haven’t seen it.
I like my stuff hidden anyway so I don’t care all to much. I disable leds usually because they are distracting but keep one solid led to indicate whether the system is on or not.
TL;DR: Try installing some on virtual box, by all means try Linux mint cinnamon but also try Ubuntu and Fedora KDE.
Linux has some jargon and since you want to learn I’ll give you a quick rundown of how a variation of Linux is composed.
“Kernel” is what makes Linux Linux. It’s a way of interacting with the hardware.
A “distribution” or “distro” is a one of the many flavors of Linux.
They are usually “based” on a common foundation like Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Nix and whatever. These also work like an onion where Mint is based on Ubuntu which in turn is based on Debian, all of which use some version of the Linux kernel.
A that’s just a base will just get you a terminal (also called a shell or console) and is very useful to make a server for example.
What most people think of as an OS is the user interface (i.e. clickable shit). The terminology in Linux for that is “desktop environment” (DE).
You’ll see a lot of distributions mix and watch between a base and a desktop environment such as Fedora with KDE, Ubuntu (Ubuntu with Gnome), Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE), Bazzite (Fedora silverblue base with either gnome, KDE or deck DE).
You mentioned Cinnamon. Cinnamon is a desktop environment for Mint so a Linux Mint Cinnamon contains the code of the following:
Linux kernel, Debian, Ubuntu and Mint as a base and Cinnamon to interact with it by using a mouse and keyboard.
There are currently three bases that are really popular right now, Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch. In the DE there are currently two that are most advanced, namely KDE and Gnome but Cinnamon is not far behind.
In all honestly, none of this matters all too much, just install a couple of popular distros on a virtual machine like Virtual Bok and do a vibe check.
Take a couple of these, install some programs and fuck around with the settings for a bit, install themes and whatever or watch a quick YouTube video on it:
Mark Rutte used to be the Dutch PM and his part in NATO is to advance the collective security of Europe, now by keeping the US on board. It’s a something for nothing.
The 5% is not binding, it’s just words on a paper, not even the US spends 5%.
Trump is getting played because of his fragile ego. Him sharing a message of a person stroking his ego is evidence of it working.
g-push
git push origin `git branch --show`
Kinda how they were “last man standing” in WW2. Everybody else got severely fucked and they won them over by with the Marshall aid program which got us to a bi-polar world with NATO in which the US was the hegemony.
After the fall of the Soviet Union and before the rise of China there was only one superpower that could act as such militarily and then US continued their power trip.
If it’s saying “cool” as an end to the conversation then it’s usually pretty rude. You need to show a bit of interest with a quick follow up like “how did you get it?” or “it took you a while?” and then ending the conversation is fine.
Renaissance exterior of building. Carvings in concrete. Stone block buildings. Gargoyles. Corner decorations on ceilings.
Soon Linux will be big enough that stores will offer a selection of operating systems. It might be possible already to ask for a custom built PC deal with a discount for no bringing your own OS or having them install it for you.
Maybe nothing broke, they just support genocides in general.
You’ll probably like this proposal for the flag for Antarctica then
I like Canada 🇨🇦, Wales 🏴 and Bhutan 🇧🇹
It is, along with other less desirable compounds like chlorine and PFAS depending on the filter.
I’m on the opinion that marketing anything related to addiction is immoral and should be illegal. This includes cigarette, gambling, sugar, drugs (looking at you oxycontin), alcohol and even caffeine.
There is a backdoor into people’s brains that should not be used. Allow people go get their own coffee and sugar but don’t remind them it’s missing when they’re quitting.
(Coffee has been shown to be beneficial in reducing the overall death rate in adults when consuming something like 2+ cups a day so marketing it could be beneficial but the chance kids getting addicted to caffeine is something to avoid regardless.)
Those people are parroting harmful ideologies or have shitty sense of taste.
I’d still recommend a filter. It’s not just for drinking it straight but pasta, rice, soup and other boiling makes a huge difference.
Eating a spoon of rice and have it taste like sink water with carbs is not a good vibe. I want it to taste like rice or rice with minerals.
You should try it in Iceland. Tap water is so clean you practically ruin it by putting it in plastic.
It’s a flatpak://url that opens the app store on the computer where you do a one click install. So technically it’s two clicks.
