Another angle of security: It is time to create a "Euro-Linux" and to make its use mandatory within EU (esp. for government staff and schools). The development should be distributed among EU member states and their best IT departments (at the universities). The developers should be employed full time and Europeans.
#linuxmint could be a good starting point.
Finally (finally…) dipping my toes properly into the waters of #Linux*. I’ve gone with #LinuxMint as a beginner distro and so far so good.

*This is not exactly true. I did attempt to use one of the Red Hat products about 25 years ago and, well, let’s just say we weren’t the best of friends…
My mother-in-law brought me her computer to fix. It’s a seventh GEN Intel processor running windows 10. She’s retired and I think just uses it for Netflix so it’s probably gonna get Linux mint.

@ED_FrOz My decision to use #LinuxMint on my laughably underpowered and ancient entertainment PCs follows totally easy success of upgrading from #Windows10 to #Mint on my main workstation and laptop a couple years ago. No bloatware. Solid privacy. No upsells.
That transition has gone really well, even though as a musician/photographer/videographer I have some corner cases that most folks who just need office productivity and a browser wouldn't have to deal with.
Als ich auf meinem Ubuntu PC #Steam installiert hab, hat es mir erzählt, ich muss noch einen 32bit Treiber installieren und mir genau gesagt, welchen. ich musste die Kommandos nur noch in die Kommandourteile copypasten.
Der #LinuxMint PC der Tochter meckert auch, dass Steam nen 32bit Treiber haben will, aber wie der heißt muss ich wohl ne Hellseherin auf'm Jahrmarkt fragen. Oder das Fediverse.
Wie find ich das raus?
I try to install Linux Mint from a Usb stick. Now I have this box on the screen. What shall I do from here
#linux #linuxinstallation #linuxmint #linuxhelp #linuxhjælp
Ahead of Microsoft's plans to stop supporting MS-Windows 10 in October, and as I didn't want to install the extra-heavy and not so reliable Zindowz 11, I got rid of it and installed Linux Mint on the multimedia PC that I use on my TV (a small customised Intel NUC).
So far, it's just excellent, very stable, fast, easy to install and with a slick interface. 
What else?! 
Linux rocks! 
two more days till my one year anniversary of using #LinuxMint. I have a scheduled post scheduled to go up on that day with my thoughts of using that operating system.
A little sneak peek into the post... I have been enjoying it very much <3
@menel I upgraded to #LinuxMint 22.1, and Dino #flatpak to 0.5.0. Now #Dino works again!
@Vivaldi I use the feature every day.
I have a laptop that's already a little short on hardware despite the upgrades and #LinuxMint to make it last longer.
The #TabsHibernation allows me to open many tabs and not be penalised by memory limitations; good for computers with oldie HW.
But while the latop keeps running I'll still use it.
I relate. I'm trying to remember all of the distros I tried in 2019...
Weil der Installer von #LinuxMint keine Verschlüsselung bei manuell(!) konfigurierter Partitionierung ermöglicht, hab ich vor einiger Zeit angefangen, alle Rechner auf #Debian umzustellen. Nun bin ich verunsichert, ob das eine gute Idee war, weil ich inzwischen über einige Software und Tutorials gestolpert bin, die zwar mit Ubuntu (und Derivaten) funktionieren, aber nicht mit Debian.
It's time for Microsoft Windows users to understand that GNU/#Linux : 
contains no spyware, telemetry, bloatware, advertising or #AI does not force users to register for an online account is much easier to update is safe and efficient "by design" is not subject to programmed obsolescence doesn't slow down over time looks beautiful!

I upgraded from #Windows to #LinuxMint on my main workstation and laptop over a year ago.
Minor learning curve? Yes.
Satisfied I can cover all my daily work? Totally.
With the death of #Finale, the only caveat is that I still boot #Win11 in a locked down VM just to run #Adobe products when I need them to work with client files. Other than that I've found #FOSS alternatives for my internal work.
Check out the live boot environment and see if #Linux could work for you… https://linuxmint.com
Wie bringt man die Mitmenschen nur dazu, den Mailverkehr zu verschlüsseln? Stöhn... 
@toddalstrom If you have to ask, the answer is always #linuxmint
Does anyone know how to batch insert _h264 between the file extension and existing name of a folder full of files?
