What i did for work stuff that needs windows is i got an old Thinkpad T440S and put windows on that and just use it for work. Things worth like 50$ lol.

My 73 year old grandmother also uses it and says its “minty fast” lol not sure what that means. She latched onto the name when she heard it.

If you have newer hardware mint isnt what you wanna use. It is more stability focused. There are other distros that arr more geared towards faster updates and supporting new stuff faster.

i avoid using flatpaks if i can. recently had to migrate mine from the root partition to home partition cuz they had filled my root partition space.

I meant the gnome extension not firefox

Do you use hide the top bar extension?

What exactly is it your trying to use the raspberry pi for? A better solution might just be a web UI if you just need to adjust a few things/check on it every now and then remotely. You can just use your browser to go to its IP and have a UI there.

Maybe im wrong but with ARM being the new cpu architecture, rust being new, wayland coming into maturity, etc, it appears as though there might end up being a more x86/x11/C focused legacy kernel and a forked ARM/Wayland/Rust focused new generation one.

Which honestly im fine with. And kinda makes sense. Especially if we get into an era where stuff like x86 starts to get phased out entirely. Which i think we will in the next decade or so. Remains to be seen if thatll happen but i think theres a decent chance at this point.
