The Mint one likewise pushes flatpaks.

Most packages in Mint you can download from the system repo. You don’t have to use flatpacks. I have my LMDE set to show only system packages since i’m not a fan of flatpacks.

Not in 11 that i’ve seen but drivers used to be ridiculous on windows. The funny thing is it was even worse on linux for a hot minute. I remember borking my nic multiple times on slackware 3 and having to hoof it to my friend’s house to download a driver way back in olden times. I learned a fuckload about linux and networking during those years breaking things.

You don’t compile everything from code yourself? Amateur. /s

That’s certainly an opinion.

Mint has a debian edition if you’re not down for ubuntu. I use it and it’s pretty solid.

I want to meet the person who has a dev environment for their home media server. That man is my hero.

Those services get shut down randomly by cops and money problems. My local server doesn’t get shutdown.

Are you sure the post wasn’t modded? Those also show up as “deleted”.

Let you switch lanes?

As they say in Rome, carpe viam. Don’t ask for permission, just start moving your car towards the other fuckers. They’ll move if they prefer not to have scratches on their car.

Oh also you’re gonna wanna drive a shitbox in case they decide to tank those scratches.

All i see is a technical waiting to be born.

I asked her for one desktop environment from her golden head. She gave me a handful.

Mention to them that libreoffice is free and open source.

I run Linux mint debian edition. Best of both worlds.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in china?

My original comment said gravity knives are considered switchblades in many jurisdictions. Politicians being morons doesn’t change that fact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchblade

A switchblade (also known as switch knife, automatic knife, pushbutton knife, ejector knife, flick knife, gravity knife, flick blade, or spring knife)

Like I said, many jurisdictions consider gravity knives to be switchblades.

Gravity knives are considered switchblades in many jurisdictions.They aren’t spring assisted switchblades. They are gravity assisted hence the name. Switchblade just means any knife you open with a switch or button. Don’t take my word for it though, go read the first line of the wikipedia page on switchblades.

In any case, they’re no more dangerous than your standard folding knives of the same general proportions.

Often they are less dangerous since they can fail to deploy (especially an OTF spring assisted switchblade). I had a sweet benchmade switchblade when I was in the army but alas it got lost at some point. That knife was the best for one handed box cutting.
