I generally end up using snake case.

What are the advantages of Mint then compared to pop os? In what terms does it run circles around pop?

My biggest point is that it works out of the box and that it feels more premium compared to Ubuntu. It also auto updates nowadays and they build special mechanisms to preserve your battery if used on a laptop. Soon they will come out with their own desktop. They specifically focus on people who develop. Just sounds like a good option for OP. Compared to more difficult installations.

Why is no-one recommending pop-os? Works fine for me in all aspects. They even provide hardware, but that’s not needed, you can just use the OS.

thanks, I enjoyed reading that history. I usually use it when something hangs on the desktop as you said. :)

Ctrl Alt f1 f2 etc. Why do these desktops/cli exist. What was their intended purpose and what do people use them for today? Is it just legacy of does it stll serve a purpose?

I believe it’s just a gnome plugin. Look it up. :)

Yes, but 90% of our production gets exported anyway. just lessen it to 50% and give us forrests.

I live in a dense area and around me is not nature but farmland. So nature goes to shit anyway.

We don’t use robo but everything in VMware is really expensive and is getting price increases. We can also see this with our cloud provider. It seems like focussing on preventing a vendor lock in as good as you can obviously, can pay dividends in the long run.

Opinions are always biased.
