There isn't any other IT company in the whole world which can compete with System 76 in quality of service. Truly stunning.

Thanks a lot for telling me!

Do you mean framework?

 

I enabled Wayland manually in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and I've seen no issues. Screen tearing went away which is a plus. So is there a logical reason why Wayland isn't enabled by default?

Not asking for ranting purposes, I'm just curious. I thought Pop_OS! is currently incompatible with Wayland.

Interesting. Thanks for letting me know!

I know this doesn't help but I think the file picker is by far the worst feature Linux has ever had. And our opinions are quite common among Linux users.

Does the greek keyboard layout offer a fast switch into latin letters? How does 'Linux' look like in greek letters?

Hopefully they at least have ssd and 8gb ram.

I give you 3 options and you google them and choose the one which suits you the best. 1. Change the boot order in your bios (Mint drive first) 2. Install package 'os-prober' and then update-grub (Win10 will appear in Grub) 3. Install rEFInd to replace Grub and choose everytime which OS you want to boot (set timeout by yourself). Warning: theming the rEFInd is known to be addictive.

It isn't actually a file manager. It is called a "file picker" and has been a reason to rant as long as I can remember, so close to a decade.

What a strange post in many ways.

During the year with LMDE5 I haven't faced any issues with it. I tried Debian 11 for a week and even an usable Rust-package (up-to-date) was pain to install. I'm not sure, but I claim that Mint Team updates some packages into the repo by themselves.

LMDE also includes flatpaks so they're up-do-date anyway.

It's very nice if you don't have Nvidia gpu. LMDE6 might even offer better support for Nvidia since Debian 12 allowed non-free drivers.

I use LMDE5 and promise of it being faster/snappier than regular isn't over estimated: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=374128

 

Is there a possibility to make Linux install automatically delete the data if wrong decryption key is set x amount of times?

Would be nice too, if it started automatically to overwrite the data too even full disk overwrite takes a lots of time.

I tried to google docs, but I don't know the right words.

SystemD is blamed for long boot times and being heavy and bloated on resources. I tried OpenRC and Runit on real hardware (Ryzen 5000-series laptop) for week each and saw only 1 second faster boot time.

I'm old enough to remember plymouth.service (graphical image) being the most slowest service on boot in Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. But I don't see that as an issue anymore. I don't have a graphical systemD boot on my Arch but I installed Fedora Sericea and it actually boots faster than my Arch despite the plymouth (or whatever they call it nowadays).

My 2 questions:

  1. Is the current SystemD rant derived from years ago (while they've improved a lot)?
  2. Should Linux community rant about bigger problems such as Wayland related things not ready for current needs of normies?
