Isn’t that the whole point?

You can also find whales in charity events.

It usually has something to do with programming. Again, most cases, the versions in the packages included in your garden variety stable distros should cover most use cases.

However, once in a while one would encounter the need of using the cutting edge features on certain compiler or interpreter. Rust comes to mind. I know Python introduced some features that could drastically alter workflow (e.g. switch statement). NodeJS is another one known to be lagging behind from time to time.

In other cases, hardware support might be taken to consideration, especially for newer machines. However, with Mint including the optional newer kernel, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Because for most use cases, Mint works flawlessly. It changes little from time to time. It has all the drivers to get started with a wide range of common hardware. It has all the codecs to play common media formats.

Of course if the package update is too slow, it’s not for you, but then unlike you, most people don’t need the latest and greatest. They just need something that works from the get-go with predictable behavior.

Goddamn I was thinking of the same song!

She’s literally family the moment you marry her, bro…

Right… but I was asking about the technical method itself.

I’m pretty sure they’d check your blood before you proceed.

Interesting… How is it risky?

These days, AFAIK network boot is done thru initramfs. It loads rootfs in most cases I’ve seen tho.

What machine do you have for this?

I’ll tell you what’s practical. If pirates start charging me for stuff, and go thru all the hassle making their stuff difficult to copy, I’d rather just buy the original thru official channels.

Fair. It’d still be nice to have upgradeable RAM, tho.

If they come up with some way to make it as hard as possible for the buyers to share these cracked games among them, they could make a lot of money with this.

This kind of thinking is the bane of humanity.

Is it better than PinePhone?

Hey, A2 would do!

I feel like you’re doing something wrong if you live in a non English country and never get exposed to the local language.

I say we fucked up the moment we existed.

Also, while we’re on the invasion topic: invading Ukraine.
