  • I installed mint recently and I kept the windows partition because I thought I would need to dual boot a lot but I haven’t launched windows in the past couple of months

    I have a laser HP all-in-onr that I thought I’d have issues with but it worked automatically with the printing and scanner app, not even in windows it works so strangely

    My only issue right now were self inflicting, because I created a shared NTFS partition to keep media a torrents and it sometimes give privilege errors after a bit update (it wouldn’t happen if it was ext3 from what I’ve been reading)

    My wife needs to use the computer occasionally and I think she had more issues with windows 11 than mint, the only “issue” was that she was trying to find Microsoft word instead of openoffice

    I hate ads, but sometimes prime puts 2 minutes of ads at the beginning of a show or a movie and then no ads, I’m ok-ish with this, much better than imdb or tubi that play the same commercial every 15 minutes

    If I start a stream and it shows that it will have several breaks I stop it and get it from the high seas


  • For being part of meta, Instagram is relatively good (Instagram let’s you pause suggested post, can easily modify your algorithm by telling it what not to show or what to show, can skip ads, for now, and it’s the best way to see good tik toks without going to that site), so it was just a matter of time it got enshitified

    I wonder what they’ll do with WhatsApp next




  • Looks good! I’ll give it a try this weekend, thanks!

    Edit: I just installed it, it looks great! I find it very funny that one of the apps I was worried about was the HP scanner and it worked seamlessly on mint without installing additional drivers or apps so I can stop using that stupid HP app

    Edit2: I also found out that my windows installation (system, drivers, updates, other files that I cannot delete safely) takes about 70Gb out of my 250GB SSD, even after running many commands to try to clean it up
