  • sure it works, I do it with Gear Lever

  • how does it compare with Gear Lever?

  • Interesting, I wonder if I'm avoiding these by using the backports lol

  • Or we get 1.0.0

  • yea, but doesn't Kubuntu get updated kernels faster than Debian? non-LTS, every 6 months instead of every 2 years

  • This is why I think people should stop talking about Ubuntu so much and name drop Kubuntu more, it's the new top dog in the family

  • I had to laugh at this little bit of irony

    If only there was a way that link could open their profile on the instance my account is on!

  • I want my apt damnit

    maybe Pop!_OS or PikaOS

  • I need Flatpak and AppImage support too

  • I like Kate as a fancy notepad, I use it for taking quick notes or opening a txt file I downloaded. I have it set to start up into a new blank document, so it works more like Windows Notepad.

    I still use VSCode for real programming though.

    Kate did well at searching for text inside binary files though, I recently used it to see which DLL an error message was coming from, VSCode couldn't do it.

  • That's awesome! Mint definitely sounds great if it supports your hardware without issue. I think it's less of a concern with custom builds, and more of an issue with OEM prebuilts and laptops especially

  • that sounds cool

    although I guess that won't help you if the Mint installer can't boot on your computer, or if your wifi driver isn't available and then you can't download newer kernels

  • if you wanna put Linux on a brand new Christmas gift laptop, I think 6.14 could definitely be too old

    in some cases even 6.17 might be too old

    If the Mint installer uses 6.8, can you even install it on brand new hardware? missing a laptop's wifi drivers would be a huge pain cause then you can't update it without a usb->ethernet adapter

    that would be enough frustration for most users to turn back to Windows

  • is Mint still using old kernels? That could hurt hardware compatibility especially with newer hardware
