If it doesn’t provide a benefit for them, why should they bother? I understand why a teenager would, I would have as a teenager. But as an adult? Who got time for this?

Bro, learn to write in paragraphs.

He is asking for much more than he currently holds. I’d expect this from a war party that is about to overrun the enemy. But despite Russia slowly getting the upper hand, they still have a long way to go to win this war and they still might lose it.

Therefore I don’t think this is an honest offer.

I am on linux since 2006. I know there are other distros…

Yes, I understand their reasoning. I still want to use KDE and thus don’t use mint. What is your point? Please stop this.

Yeah, great, you don’t like KDE. Good for you. What does it have to do with me liking KDE very much?

Recipe for disaster…

If you don’t mind Snap, Kubuntu is also a great distro.

Possible? Yes. Am I too lazy to do this plus troubleshoot it all the time? Yes.

Yeah, that was also when I left Linux Mint. :(

Hm? Linux Mint got plenty of attention imo (deservedly so).

Just look how many articles are listed on distrowatch: https://distrowatch.com/table-mobile.php?distribution=mint

Personally I am still pissed that they dropped KDE, though.

Honestly, I’d say it would be much much worse than your examples. It would be erasing parts of history itself.

I use Linux for 20 years now. I almost never use the command lines nowadays. I’d say it is almost possible.

At my work PC they blocked all, but chrome… And I really don’t think Chrome is superior to Firefox at this point of time.

I am on Firefox since I think 2003. Never understood why anyone would use a non-free browser, even if it sometimes works faster. People are weird.
