Tell us YOU know nothing about running Linux, especially Mint, which is based on Ubuntu LTS releases, meaning it won't get gimp 3.0 until the next major release, and so a flatpak, snap, or PPA with an unreliable release cadence are the only ways to get it before then unless you compile it yourself. Seriously dude, pull your head out.
I wanna new distro
One that won't make me sick
One that won't make me crash my PC
Or make me feel like a d**k
I want a new distro
One that won't hurt my head
One that won't make run CPU too high
Or make my NAS disks RED
One that won't make me defrag
Watching squares of blue
One that makes me feel like I feel when I use UNIX too...
When I get to boooot you.
Zomg, they still have Yast?!? That was the main thing that drove me away ages ago!
I think it comes from a lack of formal typing instruction leading to a hunt and peck by index finger style of typing.
That’s why Arch has the AUR. :)
Switch to something that always delivers the latest KDE Plasma. That's old.
I even wrote a function to parse a json for some configuration details, and loop through it to dynamically create more named functions from that json profile. I use it at work for automating my cloud account logins with a single profile name from the command line. :)
But then I'd have to run Nix.
Functions are best for this.
Mandrake and Win4Lin, was an amazing time. Back when corporate had you running windows 98se, and you could run it in Mandrake Linux sooo much faster than native. Miss that.
Cool, glad you know that. Were you also aware that by running Linux Mint, you are tied to Ubuntu LTS releases? This would mean major revisions in software upgrades only come with next major releases of Mint. So that leaves you with flatpaks, snaps, or PPA repositories, or building it yourself. LTS releases designed this way so that you run known stable versions of pretty much everything. Switching to a rolling release distro would bring you what you want more quickly, but at the cost of more potential hiccups... but I say potential, because problems might never arise.
