My advice is to stick to a popular and well known general purpose distro. Even though I have never tried Pop os myself I would recommend it over that Brazzite thing (which has a very similar name to that one very popular video streaming site if you know) because I have heard good things about Pop os.

People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?
cy_narrator 3 months ago • 83%
You are right, I wanted to do some nodejs and realized that the package in the repo was Node version 12.something while latest node is version 20.something.
Also they still ship Python 3.10 which is ancient technology by today's standard, luckily nothing major is added between 3.10 and 3.12
Their mirrors are worst, ALL OF SELECTABLE OPTIONS FROM MIRROR SELECTOR which shows up at 47 KB/sec which just hurts your area spanning from asshole to large intestines.
I use bridgetide linux mint mirror btw
So why am I not switching?
Here is why: Linux mint is based on Ubuntu meaning that you can add Ubuntu repos or ppas or whatever they need directly into Linux Mint and dont have to worry about it breaking.
Say that you need to have some software for a reason and you cannot find one in Flatpak or an appimage, etc. You will be happy to realize that many of these software are built for Ubuntu and provide their deb package with own repo with updates.
I run Linux Mint 21.3 and that means I can just use a program built for Ubuntu Jammy as Linux Mint Virginia is based on Ubuntu Jammy. If I need to install something out of repo, I can just go and install Ubuntu jammy deb package and it will work normally.

If I understood your question correctly,
A database is a base for your data, its where your data lives.
A data is the most important thing for most modern applications. You have an account in Lemmy. You have made posts and comments. All that post texts, images, etc has to be recorded somewhere in the server. Thats what a database does.

It seems that Telegram is the most popular among cat abusers in China. And before I write further, there are people in china currently taking huge risks in demanding the government to pass laws that give them harsh punishments.
And as per inflammatory content about the president goes, well, when these cat abusers are not busy abusing cats, they are busy putting pig snout in his face. The government is busy trying to silence journalists trying to make people aware of the cat abuse situation because they think that this action of making huge noise will harm the reputation of China while turning a blind eye on all the cat abuses happening within the borders.
Telegram is known to not cooperate with other governments at all. Like how they did nothing to help South Korea with nth room situation. I am sure they dont care to provide information about these cat abusers either.
Chrome does not do it either but are we supposed to be the ones that start a new trend or the ones that follow the trend? I made a post into their feature request section about how important it is for privacy and security. It is perfectly possible to do but they are not interested in doing. What I asked was that they provide a feature that allows users to opt in to encrypt all browsing data including history, passwords, cookies, etc. With this feature I can only access my browser information after I open up Firefox and provide my encryption password. How would this help? Well, there could be viruses that can read Firefox browsing history and cookies and send that to the server. With this feature enabled, one can be even more safer. There is an option to encrypt Passwords. Thats not enough, every other piece of browsing data should also be encrypted.
All the incognito browser windows share the same "session" in Firefox. So say you open an Incognito window to browse Facebook or something, then you open another Incognito window, this new incognito window is linked to the previous incognito window, meaning you are logged into Facebook at that new Incognito window as well. This is because, as I explained before, all the incognito windows share the same "session" The only way to clear incognito window is to close **ALL** of them and then create a new incognito window. You dont have to close the main non incognito Firefox window though, just close all the incognito windows. Then open a new one, now your previous session is destroyed and you are new again. You may know it but its not that common knowledge as it should have been
Why use .js extension if it does not even support what Javascript is supposed to support. Here is my user.js file that does not work in Firefox: https://pastebin.com/QZXL0YJp However the following works: https://pastebin.com/xEjh7g9U I wonder why not implement a full Javascript engine to read in those configuration files, it kind of sucks to keep on typing ``user_pref(`` in every line when one could put all the configs in a list and loop over it and use user_pref() to apply them.

The ONLY one that works is Raspberry pi os Legacy available from the rpi flasher. What other OS would work?
## About TV Company: Daewoo DC Purchase date: Last 15 years, and the most modern of its time Size: 24 inch Interface: Has Audio-Video port [Other than that, its just a radioactive box, weird signal goes in, video comes out] ## About Raspberry pi Model: Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB RAM) OS: Raspberrypi OS ## Situation Its not cabling thats the issue. The TV shows visual but the graphics is very hazy and blurry. I suppose it has something to do with either the frame rate made for digital monitors being too high for the TV or the video resolution being too unbarable. I have used CRT computer monitors but they used VGA. In those monitors, I used to set resolution to 800x600px and it would show the clearest. CRT monitors dont have this concept of pixels, yet setting pixels to 800x600 does the job in VGA CRT monitors. It did not work in case of my TV. I should mention that the device I purchased to convert HDMI to Audio Video has a toggleable switch that can be changed to NTSC or PAL. I dont know what that is, both works but setting to PAL seems to be slightly clearer. I am asking here in hopes someone else has done it and how they made it barable. [Also I am sorry I do not understand the language that is mostly used here. This community seems to be the most active one so I decided to ask for help here]
