Good choice with Mint, I think its the best distro for people transitioning from Windows.

It was not great when I tried it a few years ago. It seemed very low-effort, basically a glorified web app shortcut. The only feature I liked over my go-to podcast app (PocketCasts) was that it worked much better with the Google home speakers. Then I heard YouTube music was rolling out podcasts and I knew it was only a matter of time until they killed it.

Yeah you're right, I just checked and the way to set it up makes no sense. No wonder people don't know it works again!

  • bring back letting me use google Assistant to add stuff to my Keep shopping list.

FYI they brought this feature back a while ago

In case you didn't know, Pixel phones also have a built in feature called quick tap that lets you toggle the flashlight (or do a few other things) by tapping the back of the phone twice.

Try experimenting with turning off the ramp. I always felt like I was struggling to breathe until I turned off the ramp on mine, it was so much easier to breathe with it turned off.

I've been using the PWA on my tablet and I switch between the PWA and jerboa on my phone. The PWA seems more stable but the upvote and collapse comment buttons are a little too small for my taste.

Not a fan of all of these fake features being added to modern cars. Fake air vents, fake tailpipes, fake engine noise being piped into the cabin, fake transmission shifts, it all seems so pointless and a waste of engineering effort.
