I once convinced one of my aunts that leaving your cart out gives companies another excuse to raise prices again
(not that I actually think that's true; i just didn't want to feel like an butthole for leaving our cart out)

Part of my goals in working out is to feel like I can finally comfortably lift giant dogs like babies. Nobody asked, but just wanted to add to how diverse our goals can be.

What's a PPA, and, if it's alright to ask, which things did you need to downgrade or remove before upgrading mint?

I'm still on mint cinnamon 21, saving up for a beefier drive to back up to before I would upgrade.

Good idea. 1.2x speed is how I save time on videos I expect to be long

Which features do you feel like you're missing out on?

US based here. Saaaame, I didn't like Planet. I get Plant Folk oatmilk from Sam's club, and I now detest anything more thick or savory than that. If anything, Plant Folk's a little watery compared to most oat milks I tried locally.

I have a head canon now about your username origin that you, at least once in your life, had to face a horribly distempered ceiling fan, but just don't remember it because of the capitation.

"Simple Tab Groups" extension for Firefox desktop allowed me to evolve from constantly rearranging/bookmarking ~20 shrinking tabs in a window and dropping projects; to hoarding 30-40 tabs worth of research material and unfinished project ideas in rotating groups

Seconding Linux Mint!

I came to linux because I was building a new pc at the time win11 came out, and I saw how much more like apple it looked.

I wasn't afraid to try linux because I'd already done some easy mods to my steam deck (decky and retropi). Using the steam deck's computer desktop was almost like using older windows to me; I appreciated that.

Downloading programs was like android to me; using the system's app store, or sideload an app or a second app store, or follow the dev's readme.txt. Easy, fun, free, ad-free.

I downloaded different linux distributions to a bunch of spare thumb drives and tried them one at a time. I figured, the moment I had a problem that lasted more than an hour with one distro, I'd move on to the next. If I couldn't hack it past four tries, I'm going back to windows 10.

Linux Mint was the second attempt, and it's pretty intuitive to use, imo. It feels like the ease of using android, but with a desktop and my beloved windows-style taskbar.
