Just installed mint yesterday, I get it now - Lemmy.World

I thought it’d be a pain but installing programs through the terminal is actually so nice, I never would have expected it

Also, updates.

“hey computer! Update!”

“Sure thing, here is a list of 57 packages I will update, y/n?”

“y”

“ok… done!”

👌

But how do Linux users handle the crippling loneliness of their operating system not pestering them with ads on every update? How else can you know if your computer loves you? Where is the warmth of the corporate embrace?
We shitpost on Lemmy and start flame wars about vi vs. emacs, X11 vs Wayland, systemd, or snaps.
All of those wars have long since ended.
Neovim, Wayland, Systemd and Flatpak have won.
Would agree, but Wayland is still broke on nvidia 2060 mobile (got the laptop before I switched to Linux and it doesn’t have integrated graphics either coughHPcough) so I have to stick with X11 for now… sigh I really wanted to try out SwayFX and Hyprland too

Frankly mint/wayland flat out does not work yet, combine that with the fact that cinnamon still does not have triple buffering for their desktop animations, and its a very annoying desktop experience for anyone coming from windows/mac where most of these issue were solved 20 years ago.
