@GOwin what do you mean finally? It's been available for a long time in early access

Although the majority of our money comes from data center, our PC-centric business is way up too

Holy $#!+, Our financials are up 19% YoY, and we had a record revenue.

Hello bonus!

@semordnilap That said I don't know the full scope of what you want to accomplish.

@semordnilap I would focus more on higher level concepts, such as why there are central repos for distros, what free and open source software is all about, and a brief (1-2 minute) talk that most software you'd want to use on Windows or Mac are either on Linux or there are equivalents.

I wouldn't focus on file management via CLI, other than to say that its there (and its fairly simple). I would talk about pipes a lot though, and some cool tricks you can do with it.

@schlink Now if only we could ban DRM in the first place.

@tim @elementary Call me lazy but I just use LibreOffice Writer.

@ChrisWere I just learned that LMDE only ships with Cinnamon now.

On the other hand, Debian Backports is usually up to date with MATE, and its easy enough in Debian to install other DEs

@ChrisWere @rhode I'm just gonna say #Debian :debian: :)

But seriously to answer your question, I personally like to stick as close to upstream as I can, so I'd use Ubuntu over Mint.

@hil you'd be surprised how long the effects of lunacy linger.

I swear, today's full moon is making people act stupider than usual

@canuckifiedoz should work fine

@trawzified negative on the warmness.

@jk quantum physicists hate this!

@LibertyPaulM I'm gonna beg to differ.

I've met lots of straight up stupid people in my life who have made stupid decisions. And I can't attribute it to ignorance or lack of knowledge, because these people know better.

@trawzified thanks, I appreciate it. I don't wish this kind of pain on anyone except my worst enemies

@trawzified also no scapula winging is present

@trawzified ok, I just read it.

I don't think it's NA. One of the telltale symptoms is the loss of use of hands, plus numbness. I retain full use of my hands and lower arm, and the ability to flex and extend my arm (at the elbow, mind you). I also do not have any numbness
