I’d give it a shot if i was on the lookout for something new, but I see absolutely no reason to switch from Mint.

If you have cutting edge hardware, this might be an issue. But most people don’t and for them Mint will work just fine. If you want cutting edge, don’t use Mint. But that’s not their focus at all. Mint is for people who just want their computer to work with minimal hassle.
You must! The Penguin demands it!
It’s outrageous! You must start a crusade to make them see the error of their ways and start using Arch!
Paperless-ngx might be worth a look. Probably overkill if you just want to store mails but great for general purpose document management.
Rage bait and contrarianism are unfortunately pretty effective business models on YouTube. The less exposure we give people like that, the better.
I’d rather store my food in Jeffrey Dahmer’s fridge than my money with Elon Musk’s company.
If I don’t take magnesium, I’ll get cramps. While a lot of supplements are superfluous, I think you’re overgeneralising.
Python is very good for working with JSON. Definitely will get you there faster than awk for anything not completely trivial.
I think their approach is pretty solid. For beginners, it’s probably better to only see the verified FPs. More advanced users can change the preference. There is simply no ideal solution in this case, until we get more verified FPs
The easiest way to preserve an existing Windows installation is to take out the drive it’s on and put in a new drive for Linux. That way if you want to go back, you can just swap in the old drive again. Installing M.2 or SATA drives is very easy and 100% doable even if you’re not an expert.
No company has any right to force people to use their private phones for company purposes. I’d absolutely refuse to let them install anything whatsoever on my phone. If they want me to use a phone for work, they’ll have to give me one.
I would never try to convince anyone to use Linux. If they’re happy with Windows, let them use Windows.
All new cars have infotainment systems and computerized controls and displays these days. This is in no way specific to EVs. In Europe there is the Dacia Spring. That’s a very simple and down to the absolute essentials kind of vehicle. But not something I would ever want to drive.
I agree but public perception does not. Which of course is a result of years of relentless propaganda.
That would be QuantumScape. It seems like they are well on the way to commercialisation but with stuff like that it’s always “I’ll believe it when i see it”.
The conversion business is held back right now by high battery prices. Once those come down, it will take on a whole new dynamic.
Depends on who you ask. The main advantage is better cycle life and being able to charge faster. That will address the concerns most people have about EVs. There will also be advantages in energy density and manufacturing cost but right now it’s really difficult to say where we’ll land in that regard.
Once solid state batteries are produced at scale it will truly be game over for ICE vehicles. Meanwhile the European and US manufacturers just whine and cry for protectionism while sitting on their hands.
But that’s a legitimate reason for it to exist. A lot of people have reservations towards Linux because they’re concerned about the gaming experience. Making it smooth and easy is a good thing. Having said that, I just installed Steam on Mint and everything ran just fine. I only play Steam games on that machine, though.
