It seemt to me this flows from Musk declaring that advertisers leaving Shxitter was illegal after he said fuck you to them and that he didn’t need them. It’s the most childish, entitled behavior possible. Think of it like a 4 year old temper tantrum and it all start to make sense.

Perhaps not. But the flag allows for direct I/O for data, bypassing buffers which can be overrun with certain size blocks, potentially causing dirty buffer depending on the machine being used. My understanding is that it’s “more reliable” for writing (especially on shitty USB Flash drives) and getting the exact ISO properly written.

But it could be useless all the same - I’m just pointing out that OPs command is not the one recommended by Fedora when writing their ISO. Also OP is less likely to pull the drive before buffers have flushed this way.

Don’t use Fedora myself, but it may not be a hybrid ISO that becomes bootable when written… so I looked and you are missing a flag

Not even Joking - Mint can do it. Override the default kernel to 6.8 (via GUI in Update Manager). I’ve been running Satisfactory on Mint with 6.8 at 4K without issue for months for example). Daily driver with rock solid uptime pedigree. Cinnamon is very comfortable and familiar and yet still very configurable if you like. I like some Mac OS niceties, so I switched mine to feel a bit more like it and use Albert for a quick launcher.

I also use it on several headless servers. Though I leave the graphics running in case I want to KVM on those machines, but never really have to… SSH if need be.

I’ve solidified and have been on Mint for like 7 years now? I just got tired of distro hopping and the team running the show does a fantastic job. Probably will switch to Debian (LMDE) - going to experiment with it soon.

Not really true. States can’t infringe on rights granted by the constitution but they can add rights. See: infingement of 2A rights by states and legalized cannabis at the state level, respectively. Look at federal drinking age laws. States had lower ages until the feds pressured States by witholding interstate road funding…

Wonka’s got that trigger discipline!

2025, the year of the Trumpsterfire.

One of the best TV shows of all time is premised on our broken healthcare system.

I have both i nthe pic still (actually 2 of each). The little stand to make the OG into an alarm clock was tip top

I think you’ve just discovered the GOP platform.

Someone needs to check this daft cunt for proof of life. She sounds brain dead.

I’m gonna say it… those look pretty good

Kinda close… women painted lume on clock dials and arms. They were told the luminous radium paint was safe and they used their lips to put a point on the paintbrushes they were using. The same companies that told them it was safe pushed the dentists and doctors seeing the effects attribute it to STDs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_Girls has a really good summary.

this one feels “oddly specific”

May the lord open

That sounds like an old wives tale…

This really feels like an “I’m done with the Internet for the evening” kinda story.

100%.

F-that! Take pride… Mint is ridiculously good. Well managed, stable, “just works” and yet has all the capabilities you want, including auto-running near the edge for current kernels (backed down to stable) without doing jack. You can run at the bleeding edge if you want to manage it yourself.

And for any haters - here’s my take: I’ve been working with Unix for 30+ years, I installed Slackware off of floppies when 16MB of RAM was god-like. I have built, compiled and managed nearly every distro at some point certainly the upstream giants. I’ve been there for the birth of all of them. I’ve also professionally worked on AIX, SunOS/Solaris, HPUX. Yes there’s a lot of fun in maintaining and running things to your satisfaction, but when you hit a certain inflection point of balancing your real life and maintaining distros across multiple machines and decide “This is the way” - Mint just fits the bill on so many levels.

Mint is the bomb and I’m done pretending. Fight me (not you, OP, you’re cool)
