This is exactly how I feel when I use my TrackPoint and my colleague's like "CALL IT WHAT IT IS, IT'S A NIPPLE"

I don't get the hate comments here other than "hurr durr im on a morally superior social media and your daughter isn't". Yes, Rednote is a Chinese app with Chinese ideals, proprietary, non-free, foreign telemetry etc etc. but at the end of the day sounds like your daughter's having fun on an app that's not too indifferent from TikTok.

Careful saying that round these parts, you'll summon the ducks.

It only started for me because I wanted to have the convenience of a cloud password manager but without it being publicly open on the internet or hosted outside my network.

I set up Vaultwarden and Tailscale on a Raspberry Pi.

Now I've got 2 servers and a (very fucking slow Linksys NSS4000) NAS for backups hosting my life at this point (Nextcloud, Invidious, Beaver Habits)

As a LMDE user who usually keeps it pretty stock, that's customised. I actually didn't even know you could do centred taskbar with Cinnamon (even if it is objectively a crime)

I just use Linux Mint Debian Edition for my study laptop, sounds pretty much the same - in over a year of use, I have literally never had a single problem with it (other than things directly caused by me like leftover fstab entries for testing). I know it's what Debian is renowned for but god damn that is a stable operating system.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly, even before reading the comments. Yeah, it's a shitpost, but "Oh, Wallace is considered bottom of the barrel because.. he's like 100?" Straight up ageism.

I give it.. an hour before someone mentions vi or cat as the true old way

There was a new kernel update so with some time they'll start coming through after finishing compiling

In roughly 7 years of Linux, I think I've only run into issues with automated installers in partitioning if you choose to just go automatic everything and you have a wacky existing partition layout.

I have an older Intel laptop that has a 1600x900 display, and I find that if I put the machine to sleep, connect an external monitor with a higher resolution, and then turn it back on, the login screen doesn't adjust to the new resolution and it reveals what I had open (see photo).

However, I'm not that familiar with Linux Mint (even though I've daily driven Linux for nearly 10 years, I very casually use LMDE) and I'm not sure if this is a Cinnamon problem or if the lock screen is under a different program.

Looking at Linux Mint's webpage on reporting a bug (https://projects.linuxmint.com/reporting-an-issue.html) they seem to mostly use Cinnamon as an example, but I don't want to report this issue as a Cinnamon issue if it's the wrong project.

In case this is platform specific, my device's details are below:

  • Host: Dell Latitude E6420
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-2630QM (Sandy Bridge)
  • GPU: Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family
  • Kernel: 6.1.0-21-amd64
  • DE: Cinnamon 6.0.4
  • WM: Mutter (Muffin)
  • Display Server: X11

I've never filed a bug report in my life before, usually I just put up with the issue until it's eventually fixed, but I feel this is a moderate security issue that should be flagged.
