Naja, macht ja eigentlich schon maximal Sinn. Mindestens die Bundeswehr sollte noch arbeitsfähig sein, falls uns die USA die Office Suite abstellt...
Gesundheit.
Well, that was kind of a general statement. Mint is boring. That's what it's good at. That's why it's loved and why it's recommended for new users. Specifically, it's similar to Windows in many ways. It's somewhat more customizable, but that's about it.
With you having used Linux twice before, you could consider something less Windows-like, less boring. I'll be talking about the desktop environment (DE) rather than distro, because it has much more influence on this. You can use these DEs on various distros.
- My personal favorite DE is KDE Plasma. The default-layout is also Windows-like, but it's got all of the bells and whistles and options you could imagine. It's kind of power-user heaven and almost like a toolbox to build whatever workflow you want.
- The other big, popular DE is GNOME. It's more macOS- and Android-like and focuses on a specific workflow. People who can get used to that workflow, then often really like it. The workflow itself is sometimes frustratingly uncustomizable, but it's also fairly customizable when it comes to the details, typically by virtue of also having lots of features, which can then be customized.
- Well, and I guess, I'll throw in Xfce, too, since that's likely what you used, back when you used Ubuntu Studio. (Ubuntu Studio uses KDE since the October 2020 release, but used Xfce before then.)
Xfce isn't necessarily what modern beauty standards would get flustered by, but many folks like it for its simplicity and because it is perhaps even more boring than Mint (without being Windows-like). There's a good chance that it still works a lot like back when you used it.
Perhaps also worth mentioning that Mint's DE is called "Cinnamon", although it's developed by the Mint devs, so if you like that a lot, it's typically worth sticking to Mint.
I mean, yes, but I was rather wondering, if that extra space was maybe why it couldn't find it. Maybe you had to manually enter the SSID and accidentally put in that extra space? Then again, I don't even know, if you took that photo...
Personally, I grew up in a family of meat eaters, so I'm pretty numb to the sight of it. For me, it's rather inverted, so I avoid the topic, because meat eaters will feel attacked and become aggressive. But yeah, it's a lot easier to avoid in that sense, because I can simply shut up rather than having to leave a situation entirely...

I don't quite understand. Do you just want to type e.g. k pikachu and that expands to krabby name pikachu ? Can you give an example of how you'd want to use it?
I mean, there's these ones, for example:
You can download them as Flatpaks and then this guide supposedly allows running Flatpaks under Windows: https://github.com/AbelFalcon/Run-Flatpak-Windows11
I'm guessing, the Xming thing is needed for graphical applications? I have no idea, if that's what people generally use for that...
Oh, good point, I recently learned that the speed of light in fiber optics is around 200000 km/s. I always thought physicists were saying "in vacuum" to be technically correct, but that's actually a huge difference...

Absolutely illegal.
I work as a software engineer and honestly, it's ridiculous how often I'm asked to or tempted to violate the laws of physics.
There's classics like measuring how long it takes to send a network packet from one device to another – you can't, because the two devices might have wildly different understandings of what time it currently is. The only way to get an accurate measurement is by measuring how long it takes to send it there + back (a.k.a. the round-trip time).
And then you divide that by 2 and pretend there's no asymmetry in transmission speed, nor delay between the other device receiving it and sending it back. 👍
In our previous project, we were recording audio chunks of one second each and then feeding it into a detector. At some point, we got asked, if we could reduce the delay until the user gets feedback from the detector. Also, we can't make the detector detect things more often, because it might make more mistakes. Alright, I guess, I'll just break up the time continuum then and give the user feedback before it has finished recording. 👍
And now in our current project, we're supposed to send network packages across the globe and also we basically can't have any latency. Yeah, so there's this thing called the speed of light/causality at about 300000 km/s. Halfway around the globe is about 20000 km. That leaves us with 66.7 ms of latency, at its theoretical minimum. Guess I'll just quickly invent a way to create worm holes, no problem. 👍
Don't forget Putin money. They brand themselves as the pro-Germany party, whatever the fuck that means, and they're the most lovey-dovey with all the regimes trying to damage Germany.
Well, Mint is still one of the top recommendations for new users. It gets support for the newest hardware at a bit of a delay, so if you wanted to follow suit with your new gaming PC, it might not be as great of a choice for that for now, but for your laptop, that's what I'd recommend, if you're not looking to experiment.
What distro did you use before?
Sure. Mastodon is written in Ruby on Rails, for example.
It is, yeah, but you can also use it to host a static webpage: https://codeberg.page/
Personally, I use it together with mdBook, so I write my texts in Markdown and then get a webpage with search and such. There's lots of "static site generators" out there which do something similar.
It's a little tech-y for what you're hoping to do, but you could make use of the code tooling for collaboration. People could open issues, if they just want to make a suggestion, or they could create a pull request with a concrete change.
This is a very mild violation, but I like to play these puzzles: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/
...except that I create a custom difficulty level which is quite a step below the easiest difficulty and then I almost rather speedrun the puzzles.
The Rectangles puzzle at 5x5 size has been my crack for the past months and I'm at about 13 seconds now (using my phone as input).
I mean, it's very casual speedrunning. No one cares about my time, so I actually never timed myself before just now. But yeah, I just like the different challenge of thinking fast rather than complex.
Maybe just a low-pass filter in this case? (It removes high frequencies.) Should at least muffle it mostly...
Bin letztens auf einen Zebrastreifen zugelaufen, als auch gerade ein kleines Mädchen da hin kam. Dachte ich mir, mich sieht man, dann überquere ich gemeinsam mit ihr die Straße.
Sie, hingegen, hält die Hand nach oben und wartet bis ein zukommendes Auto bis auf 0 heruntergebremst hat. Erst dann sind wir losgelaufen.
Sie hat das mit so einer Selbstverständlichkeit und Routine gemacht, ich bin mir vorgekommen, als hätte sie mich über die Straße begleitet...
There's in general no way this can work long-term. When nations cooperate, they both benefit. If you're the only nation not cooperating with everyone else, then everyone else will surpass you until you're North Korea levels of yesteryear.
