  • Kick the can down the road and download the MASgrave Win10 script (I think that’s it, I don’t use windows) that puts you on the Long Term support - iirc that gives you until Jan 2027. That’s enough time to get through the zero parental sleep phase and be able to think clearly…

    If that’s of interest I’ll dig the correct details out (ping me) or I’m sure someone else knows what I’m waffling about & will drop the link



  • I could be wrong but I think you’ve misread it. In context they’re saying it’s crazy to exclude a microwaved caesar salad (the section about hot vs cold). I.e they think a microwaved salad SHOULD be included.

    Now realistically what I assume they meant was microwaving the chicken before putting it in the caesar shouldn’t make it not a salad (fair enough) but it’s not what they actually said.

    Edit to paste in the full section

    "This is actually a pretty strange definition. It includes things like a plate of mixed nuts, but excludes a caesar salad which you stuck in the microwave for two minutes.

    While people might object to serving a hot salad, it certainly seems bizarre and objectionable to exclude it from the definition simply based on temperature.

    We conclude that this definition does not meet the necessary rigor for a proper salad definition, "




  • Yeah. Don’t do that.

    It sounds great in theory but you’ll run into issues. I put a lot of people on mint but use arch+kde for myself.

    I’ve done KDE on Mint in VMs 3 times now and every time something goes wrong.

    I’m no fan of ubuntu but just run up kubuntu or fedora kde. KDE neon might be a bit cutting edge. Endeavour is arch on easy mode and comes in KDE. First two for beginners, second two for those with some tech experience.

    Mint out of the box rocks for new linux users, never a problem. Once you start putting it in unsupported configs you’re ditching the primary reason to recommend it (stability in the reliability sense)


  • <shrug> I’ve put later kernels on Mint a half dozen times withno dramas, but whether you should depends on what your use case, preferences and skill are.

    I personally wouldn’t do the arse-ache that is an immutable system, but plenty here love their Bazzite it seems. Different strokes for different folks. Nothing wrong with that.

    If you love Mint except for the kernel version then it’s an easy fix. If you don’t have deep feelings then either try & be ready to ditch, or pick an alternative.

    Just for the record there is no “doing all that” about it. It’s a simple couple of clicks. It couldnt be easier. I’m not sure where you got the idea it was difficult.
