It should be noted that linux corporate is a bit different than other corporate. Ubuntu is still open source and doesn’t track you, and Canonical (their owner) knows if they piss off users too much, they’ll just switch distros.
But they do sometimes make top-level decisions that annoy the community (a lot of people hate their proprietary snap packages,) and have a different feel from community-based distros.
Distros based on Ubuntu, such as Ubuntu itself, Mint, Pop!_OS, Zorin, etc. are targeted toward new and casual users. They automate a lot of things that other distros assume their users want to do on their own.
Mint is a popular choice because it’s non-corporate and has a very Windows-like default UI. But you’d be fine on any of the ones I listed.
Choosing a distro is sort of like driving a car. If you’re not a car person, you probably don’t particularly care what your vehicle’s 0-60 is, or how much torque your engine gets, or something else. You probably just want something that’s comfortable and looks nice.
As you learn about linux, you may become very interested in it, to the degree that you care about things like init systems and package management. In that case, there will be distros that suit your tastes. But if you don’t care, it’s perfectly ok to just something that feels comfortable and looks nice.
The people who are passionate about linux will have the loudest voices, and will make their favorite distro sound really good, because they are passionate. You don’t have to be that passionate, though. And if at some point you do become that passionate, you will likely be motivated to learn all the fine details on your own so you can make an informed decision that suits your own tastes, so you really won’t have to worry about matching someone else’s.
It’s good that people get excited about linux, but under the hood the distros are more alike than they are different. Don’t feel you need to have some specific distro experience to be part of the discussion: just use what you like, and if at some point you become dissatisfied, then consider changing.
Well said.
Hell, look at the James Bond, John McClane any of Arnold’s heroes. They all joke.
SSD for your OS. HDD for storage.
Wonder Woman would have grossed over $1B if adjusted for inflation. Barbie has already passed its total inflation-adjusted gross, though.
Adjusted for inflation it still made over $1B.
One time, a Windows 10 update unmounted my wife’s main drive and decided it would only boot to the backup copy she had on another drive. That was a fun one to troubleshoot.
Wow, he was Sol from Pi? Definitely gotta watch that again.
And Amazon is just going to switch to KABLAM!
Google is now called “The Googlinator.”

The 2020s is the decade of shitty rebrands.
NFL contracts out to several different network/cable and streaming services, so you have to subscribe to several to get all the games legally. A digital antenna and NFL+ are probably your best bet to get the vast majority of games without a full tv package.
Beautiful post format.

So it looks like your old linux headers are causing dependency issues that are preventing upgrades. The dist-upgrade will delete the conflicting packages and update the dependencies. You should be good after that.
Lemmy Film actually just started a discussion on whether to make a community specifically for new release threads:
Worst thing about PPAs is their maintainers don’t keep up with the base Ubuntu version and then you have to disable the PPA on the next version upgrade, or you end up seeing someone with repositories for Ubuntu 16.04 on 22.04 and wondering why apt is returning errors. Containers are a much better modern solution.
Yes. Search them up:

You can also make your own.
