I agree. My mom has been running Mint for 9 years with no problems. My tech illiterate friend who has an nvidia gpu on the other hand needs a lot of handholding. He would never be able to make a transition on his own.

TIL about Jantelagen, Janteloven, or the Law of Jante -- or, why Scandinavians don't like to stand out

Yeah, no Janteloven is absolutely toxic and should not stand as an example of anything. It was written as a commentary on social control and backwardsness in Denmark in the early 20th century. The commandments are as follows (with my own translation of meaning, not words):

"Du skal ikke tro, du er noget."

  • Don’t you believe in yourself

"Du skal ikke tro, at du er lige så meget som os."

  • Don’t you believe you are as good as us

"Du skal ikke tro, at du er klogere end os."

  • Don’t you believe you are as smart as us

"Du skal ikke bilde dig ind, at du er bedre end os."

  • Don’t you tell yourself you’re better than us

"Du skal ikke tro, at du ved mere end os."

  • Don’t you believe you know more than us

"Du skal ikke tro, at du er mere end os."

  • Don’t you believe you are more than us

"Du skal ikke tro, at du dur til noget."

  • Don’t you believe you are good at anything

"Du skal ikke le ad os."

  • Don’t you laugh at us

"Du skal ikke tro, at nogen bryder sig om dig."

  • Don’t you think anyone likes you

"Du skal ikke tro, at du kan lære os noget."

  • Don’t you believe you can teach us anything

Don't forget to periodically rm -rf

This thread is hilarious. Do what you want, but to rm -rf (assume /) to get rid of unwanted packages is the most Windows thing.

No matter your package manager, I am sure there is a way to get a list of explicitly installed packages and then going through it and uninstalling with the package manager automatically removing it’s dependencies seems like a way faster method.

Immigration wars of the future: Today immigration is seen as bad. Many would prefer to kick the immigrants out. In the future, nations may be fighting to attract them.

I don’t buy it. Large scale ecological collapse and the following mega migrations, is going to butt fuck the fuck out of industrialised countries way before a wealthy Nigerian can luxury shop for migration destinations.

Also most industrialised countries would mostly need skilled labour and not random untrained immigrants, which of course would be the majority by far of future migrations.
