Ah, that makes sense, thanks :)

Yes and no. There are the type of people who will go 'Aaarghh! I can't open my Microsoft Edge through Microsoft Cortana to use Microsoft Bing! Linux sucks!!!1!!', but there are also things in Linux that are frustrating.

The biggest annoyance to me is how small the border around windows is. On Windows, I can grab anywhere around the edge of a window and resize it, including in both directions from the corners. In Linux, I need an electron microscope to find the edges, and the hand of god to find a corner.

If I want to paste something in Windows, it's ctrl v. If I want to paste in Linux, it's ctrl v. Unless it's the terminal, which is shift, ctrl v. Or edge cases where it's shift and insert.

They don't tend to be major problems, but they break your workflow, and that makes them feel a lot worse.

Ah, I convinced myself that I was wrong to think that. I know you can get electricity from lemons, and thought I'd mixed them up 🙈

They're for me to test. I've got an SSD in a USB3.2 enclosure, so the live ISOs run fast enough that there's no noticeable difference to an installation on my main PC.

I've been using Xubuntu on my server for years, and Mint on my laptop for the last few years, and have been trying to switch to Mint on my PC, so I thought it's about time to try some other distros before I fully commit.

I've got all the main distros, so will be distro hopping for a while to see how I get on, and if any of them jump out at me. I've always used Debian based distros, so I can see me sticking with one, but I've added the others to see if they've changed much in the last 20 years, and if I like the way they do things :)

Have you tried Bluefish? I started using it recently for editing a web app, and I really like it. It loads quite quickly on my laptop, and it's got a mini file browser on the left hand side that lets you open files directly with a double click. Handy for when you need to edit a few files at a time :)

A potato is a very slow computer. Usually old and / or low quality. I've got no idea where it comes from though.

I spent an hour last night adding new distros to my Ventoy drive. It's so much easier than anything else I've tried :)

I'll second this, especially if you don't mind 'cheating'.

I've got a Java world set up with cheats turned on, so that if I need to stop, I can make a note of my current location and teleport back to my base. When I next play, I just teleport back.

The downside is the temptation to just teleport everywhere instead of managing your resources, or to use the other cheats.

That's a good point. It's been so long since I had to buy a new copy that I can't remember what version I have.

Depending on your location and internet speed, you might be better off dabbling.

Some places let you own a backup copy legally, and if you've got decent internet, it might even be faster than ripping and converting it yourself.

I like them for the opposite reason. I'm still quite new to Linux, so I'm figuring out which software is best for me. I set up my server with Xubuntu and installed everything through Apt. I uninstalled a lot of software, but inevitably missed some things like libraries and config files.

Using Flatpak seems to keep track of everything, so uninstalling gets rid of everything that I would otherwise miss.

If it's doing what it says on the tin, Flatpak is making my life much easier :)

That looks great, thanks :)
