It does not “just work” for me and I love it that way. I got bored of using Kubuntu LTS because nothing interesting happened. Now I’m running prerelease versions of everything and get to file (and fix!) bug reports on the reg.

sl and KDE plasma

The only reason my last machine didn’t get more than 10 years worth of in-place upgrades was because I decommissioned it as a desktop and turned it into a server, so I wiped it at that point.

Because despite all the people telling me I’m wrong, Kubuntu is still by far the best distro I’ve ever used. Rock solid, super fast, and continues to improve.

Lol jk none of my stuff runs on Windows anyway

This isn’t even hard. KDE without a second thought.

I regularly try other desktops, and I regularly come back to the only desktop with any sort of reasonable thought put into it.

Is that usual?

Canonical still licenses most of their stuff under GPL3, including new stuff. The license (other than it being open) was probably not even a consideration in deciding to experiment with uutils.

I’ve got GIMP 3.0 here on my Kubuntu system 🤷‍♂️

Not to mention that I can’t find any indication that Mint has a fixed version of ffmpeg at all.

That’s not quite accurate. The community can still upload fixed packages to universe, just as the community runs universe in the first place.

Does mint ship with a fixed version of ffmpeg?

I’d much rather see RISC-V take over.

Why mess with perfection?

Stupid autocorrect!

Err… I mean uhh… No, I mean bird mounts! Don’t you like mounting birds in your filesystem?

And bird mounts

Installing SL is part of my standard cloud-init config.

The native performance of this board is similar to a Raspberry Pi 3. With Box64 it’ll be significantly worse.

There’s quite a push behind RISC-V now, in part because China seems to like the idea of not being tied to American or British companies for their CPU architecture. We’ll see whether it actually pass out or not.
