I’ve never heard “as the crow flies” used that way. It is always used to talk about distance, not direction.

an all-in-one app for running a Linux distro in a VM.

No, it won’t

let you run Linux apps on Android

It will let you run Linux apps in Linux

When everyone tries to leave at once it’s just about the worst driving scenario possible.

That gives me a notion. Maybe it’s possible to get team owners on board supporting public transit, by pointing out that the reason people don’t stay for the whole game is to avoid traffic.

Libreoffice is not my first choice for document preparation, but I use it only because I need to collaborate with people who use MS Office. I’ve had no problems that weren’t easy to fix.

Electing someone who believes that we should have laws and enforce them is exactly what we should do.

When she was a prosecutor, it was not her job to change the laws or decide which ones to enforce. If we don’t want non-violent drug users and truants prosecuted, then we should change those laws. We have a process for that, and it doesn’t include prosecutors making those decisions for us.

And many “flowers” are not flowers at all. Poinsettia is the first one that comes to mind, but there are lots of them.

Let’s give her large majorities in congress, then she can fix the court.

Google breaks Newpipe regularly, and then Newpipe always fixes it very fast. Sometimes I’ve been unable to use it for about two days or so. Totally worth it to not support Google.

Check for updates within the app itself. Those are more current than the app stores.

Losing any one of those three throws it to Trump.

Unless she win NC or OH. She’s doing really well in both.

I think this is going to be a giant blowout win for Kamala. But, please, no one get cocky! Everyone has to actually vote!

I thought the situation was a little like Android. Google develops an open source version (along with as many independent developers who wish to contribute), then sticks on a bunch of proprietary BS and sells that version to phone companies. If chromium is to chrome like vanilla android is to android with g-services, then I guess my question really becomes: is google making this change in the underlying code base, or just in the BS they put on top?

Or am I confused about how the connection works between chrome and chromium?

Will this change be implemented in Chromium too? Or will it / should it finally become independent of Chrome?

“Unlock the door” is a really strange way to say “lock the door.” What a dolt.

Did your computer serve you ads?

Linux doesnt. oot

Did your computer send an archive of everything you’ve been up to back to the parent comoany?

Linux doesnt. oot

Did your computer cost hundreds of dollars in software alone?

Linux doesnt. oot

Did your computer’s OS get an upgrade, but you can’t usr it because your hardware is"old?"

Linux doesnt. oot

Does your OS just generally suck?

Linux doesn’t! Ooot! Ooot!

• I’m sorry, I just really enjoyed that typo ;-)

So frustrating that their logo is a nice looking round watch, but their product is an ugly rectangular one.

Agreed.

It’s a hopeful idea, but it may be too late.

Please don’t take this as one of the rude responses you refer to above - that is not my intent.

Why do you want to use Mint in the first place? The only thing that distinguishes Mint from any other Debian derivative, is that they have made all these software choices for you, and you don’t have to do anything to get your system ready for you to be productive. It’s aimed at folks who don’t want to think at all about any of the concerns you have about customizing.

If you don’t like the choices Mint has made, there is literally no reason to choose it. Start with a minimal version of Debian, and add whatever you want. The end result will be the same as starting with Mint and swapping things out. The only difference will be the address of your repositories.

If you can give a reference to any such book, I’d be very interested to see it.

Most of what you said is exactly my point. It’s true the word Linux, used properly, refers to a kernel and not an operating system. But that’s not the way the word is used in practice, and it is not what OP meant when they used it. They meant " an OS with the Linux kernel and GNU userspace utilities." When the word Linux is used that way, Android is not Linux.

they are operating systems that use the linux kernel, just like GNU/Linux (aka “Linux”) does.
