Mullvad works fine on both LMDE and stock mint fwiw

Although wikipedia has that as the origin several other internet sources suggested a pagan pre christian origin

Noting that these are not proper sources although mental floss links to a text that may be reliable

Which one though ? There’s literally 4 forks of infinity called Eternity coming up on obtainium

Jerboa is on Fdroid, but it’s not good I’m afraid. The keyboard bug is maddening.

True we say 15th September, not 15 September

Ubuntu is derived from Debian.

In linux there are 3 “popular” parent trees (plus a couple more obscure ones)

Debian tree, RedHat tree and Arch tree.

Debian is “parent” to Ubuntu is parent to Mint (standard versions)

LMDE applies Cinnamon and Mint tools to Debian.

It’s a library file something to do with 32bit support iirc.

Can’t recall anymore than that but either here or reddit had details

Mint defaults to LTS. You can install the latest kernel through the upgrade manager

You can install the 6.2 kernel on mint through the upgrade manager gui. It’s just a couple of clicks.

On the other hand Mint has a reputation for “just works” because the defaults are indeed LTS

LMDE is the backup plan the guy you replied to was referencing.

It’s rough around the edges compared to mint cinnamon but it works just fine, just needs a bit more customising attention after the install.

You can have secureboot on mint. On mobile but I’ll search up a link when at desk. It’s not terribly hard given Mint is derived from Ubuntu. Should come up in a search if you’re impatient

Ok but that reddit mod (it was /r/Linux right ? ) was eventually booted for being an utter arse and I’m 98% sure he didnt run Arch (he had a foss purism thing going and iirc was on debian)

I mean toxicity at reddit is why most of us are now on lemmy right ?

Well I watched the first one. So a TISM knock off band about bogans as opposed to social satire. I’ve heard worse I guess

don’t know if you’re aware, but we had our arses handed to us at the Eureka stockade. Anyone who didn’t die was hung.

That is utterly untrue. Nobody was hung, they were acquitted. And while they certainly lost the shooting part when they ran out of ammo, they won public opinion and legal changes ( unfair/unjust treatment and taxes was the core issue)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka_Rebellion

“The fighting left at least 27 dead and many injured, most of the casualties being rebels”

“Open rebellion broke out on November 29, 1854, as a crowd of some 10,000 swore allegiance to the Eureka Flag.”

“A group of 13 captured rebels (not including Lalor, who was in hiding) was put on trial for high treason in Melbourne, but mass public support led to their acquittal.”

Noting of the 10,000, only a thousand fronted to fight, and half those deserted to go get drunk during the night

“After the oath swearing ceremony, about 1,000 rebels marched in double file from Bakery Hill to the Eureka”

“Lalor was in charge, but large numbers of the men were constantly going out of the Stockade, and as the majority got drunk, they never came back … The 500 or 600 from Creswick had nothing to eat, and they, too, went down to the Main Road that night … Lalor seeing that none would be left if things went on, he gave orders to shoot any man who left.”

The actually fighting force was a few hundred in the end.

They did reasonably well until they ran out of ammo given they picked a really shit spot

"For at least 10 minutes, the rebels offered stiff resistance, with ranged fire coming from the Eureka Stockade garrison such that Thomas’s best formation, the 40th regiment, wavered and had to be rallied. Blake says this is “stark evidence of the effectiveness of the defender’s fire.”

Once they ran out of ammo they were quickly over run

You guys eventually won,

Who ? Are you calling me a seppo ? I’m an Aussie mate.

whereas we were trapped into eternal service to the crown, which we still for some reason don’t want to step away from.

So campaign for a republic, Johnny Howard may have managed to kick the can down the road but nobody likes wingnut, support is rising.

Time to take it back, they haven’t had it very long.

Australia has their own version of that which has also been co-opted by the right.

Take back the Eureka Stockade flag and you have the equivalent

Thanks, appreciated.

Edit

I assume you mean 1.35gb of network data per day ? As opposed to per minute / per second etc

Much bigger problem than 2 or 3

What’s the hardware and network demand like ? I’ve been vaguely thinking of doing so myself.

Sure but that’s true of any packaging system. The .deb or .rpm you just downloaded off not-a-scammer-honestly.com could just as easily be malware.
