Installed Mint on a 2013 Macbook pro retina a few months ago, only thing not working for me was screen brightness with the proprietary Nvidia driver but was able to correct it.
Otherwise it’s great

Yeah necroposting is almost always frowned upon in favor of making a new post.
Hahaha same on the distcc cluster. It was a rare proud moment for me many years ago. I rememeber when I got the cross compiling working it felt like magic. Good times.
Agreed it’s just pollution
This has been absolutely beyond infuriating I can’t even block it properly from Connect. Agreed this is nothing but pollution spam

I use NoMachine as well as it has been the most responsive solution for me.
My biggest problem that I finally figured out was that NoMachine was attaching to a VNC console instead of creating its own display when I was using it with Unraid VMs (KVM)
I learned most of my Linux skills by starting with Gentoo in the early 2000s after only using Unix and redhat since about '96.
If someone really truly wants to learn Linux (sysadmin types) I tell them to start with Gentoo, not Mint. You don’t learn anything when everything has been dumbed down or obfuscated from you.
I couldn’t have asked for a better distro to learn on, and I’ve been thinking about going back.
Yeah, I know how swap works. I’m lazy and it would accomplish the task if needed, I’ve done it many times before in similar situations especially on low RAM Gentoo machines.
Agreed, it’s slow as removed. It also gets the job done without going outside the package manager.
You could have just added a swap file
Generally yes, but I’ve been working with VMs on various platforms for a very long time, so I’m probably not the best to qualify on what easy is. How easy will depend on what software you are using.
I’ve done many physical to virtual, and the very rare virtual to physical. Both can have problems you may need to work through (almost always driver related).
This is how email servers have worked for decades - there is no silver bullet and this comes closest. If you poorly admin your email instance, say allowing it to be an open relay (same as just allowing open registrations), you get blacklisted everywhere aka defederated. Same if you have a compromise and someone starts spamming out.
