What app are you using to access lemmy?

Boost doesn’t have it for comments, but I can easily filter out posts with any word in the title.

I see. Just checked their site. It appears that we still need the OSBS if we want automatic updates.

That is, if the method still works. I’m way overdue for actually sitting down and playing a game.

What’s going on with Lutris and Mint these days? Still need the Debian ppa from OpenSuse or did they start officially supporting it again?

Good question. Should be. Stuff as seemingly simple as converting a couple dozen text documents to pdf requires it if you don’t want to sit around for an hour, clicking away. Many such examples.

The real question is “Why are people so scared of the terminal, when they’re perfectly aware of and comfortable with cmd on windows?”

Oh, that makes sense, thank you. I’m really happy with mint. Pretty sure switching to the nightly repos got me most of what I need, for the rest there’s PPAs. Rolling release sounds tempting sometimes, trying out Plasma on a distro that supports it is also tempting, but so far I can’t be bothered. Mint seems to just work. :D

Dunno, but in every forum I’ve looked, people say not to use it, but let the updates go through the package manager. Sometimes even on threats of FUBARing your system. Could be that all these people are giving old info that’s not true, but I never tried it - don’t wanna go on the forums and start the thread with “I explicitly did what people say not to. How fix?”

Not old, either. My old desktop that I gave to my younger brother has an optical drive. Whenever I have spare money laying around to build and a place to put a desktop, it’s going to have an optical drive. Not having one, at least somewhat reachable makes me anxious. I use it probably less than once a quarter, more like twice yearly, but when I need it, I need it.

Can I update it from the inbuilt update tool in Firefox?

Universally regarded as a bad idea on Ubuntu based distros as far as my research goes.

Probably a PEBKAC issue…

Staying on the OTB repos in LTS distros and then complaining about software being slow to update is like staying on the OTB mirror, and then complaining that your download speeds suck.

I’m a Linux noob through and trough, use Glorious Mint, but like… How to get a newer version of VLC, than distributed by upstream is probably the first thing I figured out how to do.
