I have stuck with LinuxMint since 2018 or so. None of the surprises I previously had with Ubuntu despite it being Ubuntu based.

What is your hardware setup and are you using non-free drivers?

How can I find out if it supports ext4? if it does I might install it tonight. I have been waiting for Hurd for over a decade.

The area of Neom is 26,500 km² larger than Slovenia and it includes everything including mountains where it drops below 0 every winter.

PS2 game didn’t start, disc read error

Installing additional DEs should be made more straightforward. I’m comfortable using the terminal but I don’t think many know that you can have multiple installed at the same time and can switch between them at login.

instead of just a european company over a US one

even this is an improvement

What are your definitions of good and open source?

There’s: Qt, wxWidgets, Flutter, JavaFx, …

Get a usb drive and try out different distros before committing. With Linux you can make use of a feature called LiveUSB which allows you to boot from USB a full usable operating system without changing anything in your filesystem.

The steps here should work for any distro not just Ubuntu. https://documentation.ubuntu.com/desktop/en/latest/how-to/create-a-bootable-usb-stick/

Once created, restart your mac and hold alt when you hear the chime and select the USB drive from the boot screen. Spend sometime in the new OS, get a feel for it, and if you like it you can install, if not, restart and you will be back in macOS as if nothing happened.

I predict that 2028 will be a repeat of 2024 since they are all bought and paid for by AIPAC

All of it is stolen

What good goods does the US make that someone in China would want? A Ford F-350?

If they [Noah Smith] applied the same chronological metric to the US none of it would be the US which is the reality OP showcased but somehow they are never consistent.

Yellow Peril has defined the West for centuries. It is so ingrained and normalized that most aren’t aware of their own racism.

If not China it is Russia, if not Russia it is Qatar, if not Qatar it is Saudi Arabia. The US is never at fault and merely the victim of foreign meddling.

The funny-sad thing about it is that they don’t acknowledge the existence of people with legitimate grievances against the West.

They were okay with fascism directed at others

China is also selling a lot of cars and smartphones in Southwest Asia. This market was exceptional in the past as US car makers did very well in unlike elsewhere in the world. Ford still sells Expeditions and GM sells Tahoes and Yukons, but nothing like in the past. GM dropped from the top 10 and Ford’s best selling cars are made in China.

Their idea of lesser evil is evil directed at [who they perceive to be] lesser people.

the international community

Typical Democrat
