I’m a vim user and I would say it’s not. It’s very powerful, but only once you become familiar with the commands.
Nano is a better default for the average user because it works in a way most users would expect for a text editor to work.
Go ahead and report it to the Mint team. Even if it is an issue upstream, they will verify the issue and then report it as well. Never hesitate to report a bug you find, especially if it’s a security or privacy issue.
Even if the bug is a duplicate, it helps to know other people are having the same issue. At worst they will mark your report as a duplicate, which will let you know they are aware of the issue.
Almost every emulator lets you remap buttons on your controller. There is nothing that stops you from mapping the buttons based on position instead of what the face button says. There are also plenty of controllers you can use on PCs that have the Nintendo layout.
How so? It’s just a controller that is just the most standard for PC because Microsoft fully implemented the drivers in Windows.
Both are fine. Ufw has a set of applications that are defined in terms of what ports they need for convenience. You wouldn’t have to know that 3389 is for RDP, you could just allow RDP. Ufw ultimately modifies the iptables, it is just another interface for interacting with it.
Seems you already fixed it, but in general the system should be updated with nobara-sync or dnf distrosync. Sometimes he will downgrade packages so it’s best to just have it synced up with the same versions upstream.
I think most people are just used to Window’s BS, so these issues are just expected and they know how to fix them.
Linux has an easier experience getting up and running, but when they have an issue, usually it’s something completely different from what they have experienced before and get frustrated.
This is why mainline OEMs shipping computers with Linux by default will be a huge step forward.
Those updates in Discover are for flatpak, not dnf. You can verify that with flatpak update.
As for discover wanting to restart to do their update, that’s a fedora thing for an extra level of safety while updating. You can read about it here.
I used it previously. I never had crashes because of it, but it would mean I would have to wait for the aur packages to be updated before I could upgrade to the next iteration of GNOME.
The lack of VRR in GNOME is what had me change to KDE. I prefer GNOME in many ways, but I was tired of having to use the vrr patches to keep the functionality.
WSL2 is faster than WSL1.
WSL2 can be slower if you are modifying Windows files as opposed to the files in the WSL system.

Plenty of developers prefer Macs to anything else. Forcing developers to use Macs for iOS development isn’t okay though.
As other’s have suggested, PopOS is pretty good. I would also consider Nobara as well. It’s based on Fedora with plenty of tweaks that makes it much better for gaming. It also has the ability to quickly install NVIDIA drivers. after the first login.
Nvidia is fine on Arch, the drivers are in the base repositories.
For tutorials, the Arch Wiki is one of the best resources for Linux. If you are unsure how to do something, there is likely an article that states how to do it.
If you are unsure, I would install Arch in a VM before swapping.
Your post makes it sound like you want to make a swap from a 1660 to something with similar power on the AMD side, not upgrading. If you want something cheap from AMD, the 6600 would be a decent power bump for not too much.
I made the swap from Nvidia to AMD without getting a more powerful card. It just isn’t worth it. Sure, the fact that I can use Wayland and open source drivers is nice, but you don’t gain any extra performance. I would wait until you are ready to upgrade your card and just get and AMD card at that point.
If the email application is a flatpak, then it might not have permission. You could use FlatSeal to provide access to the directory where your network share is mounted for that specific application.
I think many of the games that I played as a kid. I have no idea how I actually completed games as a kid, because I find stuff in the game that I had no idea about. The games feel much easier when I use the knowledge provided in the game as well as my experience from playing so many different games over the years. KOTOR 1 & 2 are good examples. I just put points into stuff that doesn’t matter, but now I am able to create characters that are effective and potent.
Makes sense to continue the support since these components may be reused in other systems.
