  • Probably because they’ve been building their own DE (which will replace their GNOME fork) for a while now. It’s in alpha and hopefully will roll out in the next few months. Having said that, I don’t have issues doing the things I want to do. I think it’s fine for now because 22.04 is LTS, so most app makers support it.


  • Yeah, I get your reasoning – but there are other distros that match all of that as well. PopOS and ElementaryOS are two that I have personal experience with. Elementary had a rocky upgrade once so I tried PopOS and haven’t looked back. It’s great. Ubuntu minus the crap. The average user (getting recommended mint) probably wouldn’t care about being on the latest release and would likely not even run updates all that often, so even Elementary would’ve been a good choice for them. I have since installed it on my girlfriend’s slow/old laptop and it works very smoothly there compared with windows.





  • just looked that # up. Yes, it is. People are very stupid, but in this case it’s more of 1) a case of needing to know. many people do not need to know how to maintain a computer; many don’t even own a desktop these days and other systems do many auto-updates. and 2) again, these bad practices affect other people who do properly update their machine. We don’t live in a vacuum.

    firstly, you’re assuming everyone works in an office.

    then, that those lessons stick.

    then, that malware only affects those who essentially opt into it.

    All of these are beyond-stupid assumptions.

    PS. not one security training I’ve had did more than just mention in passing updating your device, if even that. Because guess what, IT departments don’t give a choice. They manage that and force-install updates.

    Your other weak-ass assumption is that work lessons (if even applied at work) also come home.

    Yeah dude, you’re just wrong in your thinking. Top to bottom.
