Microsoft Is Pausing Carbon Removal Purchases | The tech giant had been by far the nascent industry’s biggest customer.
Microsoft made 90% of all carbon removal purchases worldwide last year, according to data from the third-party industry monitor CDR.fyi. The company is generally cited as making somewhere between 79% to 90% of all historic carbon removal purchases.

I read that and immediately figured it was just corporate green-washing. Then read this on cdr.fyi , which basically confirms it.
I assume this "market" is just a way for corpos to get tax incentives, since the "demand" (purchases) will never, ever catch up with "supply" (actually removing carbon).
At least it's measurable, unlike most carbon credit schemes.
I really need to switch to Linux Mint. I'm going to start experimenting with it on my wife's old laptop.
I would advise Opensuse Leap. I, personally don't use it but I have tried both.
I've been told that Mint is easy to use, pretty much plug and play, especially for my non-gamer needs.
You have been advised with solid info. Stick with Mint, openSUSE isn't nearly as user friendly to newbies in comparison (not sure why that other user is suggesting it instead).
Well I figured they were trolling me, given the specific wording they used, plus their call sign ends in @lemmy.ml. I'm aware that place is full of those who take it up the rump for Trump, so a grain of salt the size of the Moon was taken by me in regards to their advice.
They're pretty vehemently against Trump, but they do stan for Lenin, Mao, Stalin, Putin, and Kim-Jong Un due to their adherence to marxist-leninism.
So, taking it up the pooper for Putin, rather than up the rump for Trump.
Go for Linux Mint. Keep it simple starting out.
Just jump into Arch blind, don’t even bother with the wiki.
Haha, as long as you simply run
arch-installas your first command, you will be fine.Linux Mint is still easier by default. But any user willing to even try installing Linux, especially Arch, likely has the time and intelligence to do some extra configurations after using
arch-install.Go with mint, run Cinnamon if the device supports it.
Translation: scammer realizes they were being scammed.
