Haven’t tried. I did use Mint on a second laptop a while back, and that was nice, but I wanted something with KDE Plasma this time

It suggested 200GiBs for root, which seemed a bit excessive but I didn’t argue

I’ll go have a look

Mint was 2nd in line on the choice list, so not far off!

But b-tree file system sounds way less fun!

It’s already cemented itself as butterfly system in my mind lol

Thanks! Next step is getting equivalents for all the software I use and figuring out proton.

Most of them (thankfully) are foss, but I’ve a few without equivalents.

Oh undoubtedly!

Hopefully my partitioning was decent though, so distro-hopping shouldn’t be too hard if I feel like switching (or even running different distros side-by-side?)

I was personally drawn to it because: it’s not Ubuntu; ButterFS seems like a nice safety net; KDE Plasma is sexy AF; noone seems to have anything particularly horrible to say about it.

Why is your chosen distro (obviously) the superior choice?

Idk, it’s FOSS, so you could always try, but just complaining and hoping somebody picks up on it probably also works. I don’t judge :)

You can still make a bug report, so that somebody with the actual means can look into it. If every action is duplicated that’d be pretty severe, if not, well it’ll be closed.

On a basic level, the idea of certain sandboxing, i.e image and link posting restrictions along with rate limits for new accounts and new instances is probably a good idea.

However, I do not think “super users” are a particularly good idea. I see it as preferrable that instances and communities handle their own moderation with the help of user reports - and some simple degree of automation.

An engaged user can already contribute to their community by joining the moderation team, and the mod view has made it significantly easier to have an overview of many smaller communities.

As a Swede, what he’s been advocating for doesn’t sound like the nordic model to me.

Ah, makes sense then why they’re pushing so hard to have a presence at our universities. Hopefully I’ll be able to avoid such employers in the future. Thanks for the heads up!

As a MoS&E student in northern Europe I’d love to hear why these companies have such a bad rep over in India. They’re doing massive recruitment drives at my uni (along with BCG) and sponsor a lot of student events, so I don’t hear many bad things about them.
