What games can’t you play on linux? Some apps can’t be run natively in linux, but use an emulation for them. That will work…

There are ways to bypass some of the issues. But for me, what works the best, is to get used to use the tool that fits the job best, and sometimes that’s two or three tools for the same project. It’s exactly if I do some woodwork (carpenter work), I might use both a saw, a hammer, a chisel, a drill and a screwdriver… It really doesn’t bother me, to use more apps to create something I’m satisfied with. :-)

Inkscape, Gimp, Krita is my most used apps on Linux… :-) On SloWindows it’s mostly Inkscape and Affinity…

Well, don’t put anything in your luggage that you can’t afford to loose. People strangely enough still traveled before any kind of tags (besides those in paper and plastic, put on the luggage). :-)

If don’t trust the airline, don’t put something in your luggage you can’t afford to loose. Take responsibility for the things you have, and if you need it, get an insurance for your luggage.

You know… I know how to take care of my stuff, without making Apple or anyone else rich. ;-)

Well, ACC is Apple, so go ogg onstead… ;-)

Well, it’s not great to take an already compressed audiostream like 320kbps mp3, and then compress it again. Use your FLACs if possible. Then, I’d recommend that you use .ogg - they give better compression (smaller files), but with better sound than mp3…

There’s a lot of apps out there, but AFAIK not anyone who does this automatically for you.

It’s good your mom tried. It’s sad she gave up so soon. I’ve helped 4 people switch in the past months. I’ve gotten even more people curious and more open to switch. A success is not only the switch, but that people start to realize that they can. In my opinion. :-)

Based on linux is no guarantee for stable, secure or privacy respecting software. Android is based on Linux. :-) And so is Remarkable, and some of the e-book readers.

I really like both the idea behind e-book readers and Remarkable, but they are often a very closed environment, so forget about most FOSS, if any. They want to make money on you, and that stops, if you use other software than theirs.

They didn’t just give them a discount, and it was only a very small part of Europe you are talking about. It was Munich, and MS also moved a lot of workplaces to the city, to bribe it…

It can’t fail, unless MS pulls a monopoly stunt or bribe politicians… There’s only a win, by ditching MS…

Because I don’t have a fickle heart, and My distro is the best, right now, for me. There’s nothing more to it. I do like Mint - but a few apps are out of date, and that’s annoying. But it’s stable, looks great, and works like a charm.

I really hope that people will make the transition instead of just buying new… Linux is great - and more users will equal more support for it.

Not a fan. There’s often trouble, and some settings is hassle, and sometimes not even working.

I do like Mint very much, but I think that they are neglecting to update their apps. A lot of apps are not up to date, and that’s just sad…

If your computer can’t handle Linux Mint, then either you do something wrong, or your computer is really unstable. I won’t ask you to use Mint, but I will say, that I use it on three different computers, and not a single problem anywhere. Dual-boot is notoriously unstable - mostly due to MS… So my advice is, to use a computer for Linux by it self…

I can’t see why it shouldn’t be. I have used it with touch screens. It works great. Remember that Android is linux too, and that really spurred the development in that area… :-)

Yes it did, and thanks for that. Not it works on high resolution screens. :-)

For a free app, you need to support it, to have it being worked on. A lot of people just say “yeah, it’s free!” and they don’t support it. I find that supporting free apps is a good investment. I give some, to NOT have to pay a lot to greedy companies who want me to sign up and pay monthly to use their apps.

I think it was about year 2000 +/- I was about 23 yrs old… I’ve tried a most of the big distros, and was using Ubuntu for the longest time. Now it’s Mint I use…
