  • The people who don’t want any change aren’t going to move to Linux anyway. I meant more the people who stayed this long for games, but are now giving up.

    But also these updates very rarely change the UI significantly in most applications and desktop environments. It’s more bug fixes and performance improvements that you’re missing out on by being on Mint.

    I’m on TumbleWeed and I don’t remember the last time the UI for my desktop or any application I use, had a significant change. But I’m always on a new kernel and new graphics drivers, which makes playing newish games using Proton a smoother experience.




  • I just use a card at the shop. There’s no Wero alternative to this yet AFAIK. Nor are they ever planning a real replacement that would work without an American-approved phone that has battery and a signal.

    This is why I see it as a half-assed thing. Visa and MasterCard get a percentage of all card trandactions using their cards, which is hundreds of millions of cards in the EU.









  • I think for the users that they’re talking about would mostly care that the directories in

    /home/tux0r

    are organized the same as they would be in

    C:\Users\tux0r\

    But… that’s already the case pretty much. Most distros have default directories like Downloads, Documents, Pictures, etc.

    That’s not really distribution-specific though. All GUI configuration tools I know are distribution-agnostic.

    But they usually get bundled with a desktop environment and the default desktop environment is usually shipped with the distro.

    Personally I think Plasma does this configuration stuff well, better than Windows. I haven’t really used anything Gnome or Gnome-based (Cinnamon, MATE) recently so I don’t know what they’re like these days.

    IMO Mint with its Cinamon or MATE desktop environments, or anything Plasma based would be fairly easy for a lifelong Windows user to pick up.
