I am glad that you like it. It would be nice to have little more traffic but post quality is more important so I can’t complain.

Shamelessly promoting my community again: !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz

It averages about 1 post per week but it certainly isn’t dead.

I don’t speak French but I am fluent enough in Memespeak that I understand this joke.

From some more articles I grasped that it is shady. Some lobbying groups, secret commissions and stuff like that. They try really hard to not be the ones to point fingers at.

I think that there are more issues like archaic connectors and stuff like that. You can’t find new hardware with 30yo standard io.

The oldest version of Win I used was 95 about 2 years ago on chromatography machine (I think hplc or gas).

It is to my knowledge still in use in the school because the software don’t run on newer machines. The teacher told me that he don’t know what will he do when it dies. It isn’t really an issue on Linux.

It will be probably more. I talked with sysadmin from some smaller provider in my country few months ago. And he told me that the migration will take them for most systems about 2 years (depreciation of hardware) and for some machines about 5 years.

So lot of customers are in process of replacing it but it will take multiple years.

It is little bit more buggier but it may be the hardware and I can’t get it with xfce.

I don’t want to mess that deep in the system, just get it to my favorite theme and leave it be. So it is basically out of the box experience.

Which flavor did you choose? I am now rocking basic mint with XFCE on my older machine and LMDE on newer.

I switched because w10 got too heavy for my old shitty laptop. Now I got new shitty laptop with w11 and will soon it will be cured by Linux.

My old laptop will retire as server.

I have shity low end laptop. It was fine for w10 at first but each update made it worse. I tryed cleaning, reinstall… But then I installed Mint. It was amazing from unusable to snappy. I still use it and it is enough computing for me (browsing, office, watching movies…)
