No, this is the rich, entitled asshole who wants to severely underpay brilliant scientific minds to take humanity to Mars.

You’re compensating for something with your network stack?

Careful, if you gut push --force too much, you may get unintended output.

I’ve been a fan of IBM Plex for a while now.

I’m sorry, that’s growing into the nose, and it costs extra.

It wouldn’t be until that moment I had any suspicions I was actually in hell.

Absolutely, I daily drive Mint and it’s one of my favorite things about it!

And when I installed Chromium from the command line as a deb, it OVERWROTE my wish, and installed Chromium as a snap too.

This right here is my issue with Ubuntu. A huge part of Linux for me is that I am in control of my OS and machine. If I use apt to install a package, it’s because I want the .deb version. I absolutely don’t need my OS telling me “I know what you asked for, but I’m going to give you the snap version anyway”.

I could see snaps being preferred over .debs in the Software app, sure (though they shouldn’t be the only option). But replacing apps in a command line tool is garbage.

Even the Steam Deck isn’t locked to their flavor, so I highly doubt a full pc would be.

I’ve installed Mint on a 6 recently. Setting up the boot settings was a minor hassle, but everything else was very smooth. Definitely recommend the linux-surface kernel.

There goes the planet…

Yes, I do! Thanks!

This part varies based on your hardware (my hardware is much faster with a value of 4096) , but other than that it’s everything.

Here is a handy script that can help determine which bs size is best for your hardware.

Don’t let this man distract you from the fact that in 1998, KDE Plasma threw Gnome off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
