Sounds to me like you would really enjoy the high customization and windows-like defaults of the KDE Plasma desktop environment. Unfortunately Mint doesn't offer a KDE Plasma desktop version (although its available in its packages, its not recommended to install it on Mint). If Mint doesn't satisfy you, maybe Kubuntu or Fedora KDE would be more up your alley.

Sad news, but trimming the fat is what people wanted Mozilla to do. Anyone know a good alternative to Fakespot? I absolutely don't trust amazon's own review summaries, and expect other alternatives would be for-profit data harvesters.

Ironman here so its not about $$$. Being able to string more than 14 bows per inventory will be great because i go through the trouble of stringing 10,000+ bows just to chop trees less. Anything to make the semi-afk grinds less tedious works for me. Sure there are better ways to train but im a casual skiller first, pvmer second.

I already don't but so far that hasn't worked. Mass boycotting just doesnt exist in modern day. We don't have enough inertia to sway the ignorant.

It came from a membership survey. Apparently there was some volunteering process

Seems like an SEO article. Im all for getting simplified articles easily accessible to the people who pick up a steam deck or the steamos lenovo legion and really do go "whats the difference between proton experimental and proton 7"

That giant handheld Nitro 11 looks atrocious. Happy to see handhelds entering the market after the steam deck, but this ain't it.

Every year since the day I switched has been my year of the linux desktop

Would there be any other way to access the iTunes music/media store? I only use itunes now to buy DRM free music when its not available on bandcamp. As far as i know its been the only way to access and purchase via the itunes store on a non-apple device

Own your Computer

Funny, I have the opposite opinion. Gnome is great on laptops, especially 2in1s. KDE Plasma is a great desktop PC environment.
