The last great Windows before Microsoft began its enshittification.

This may be kind of a dumb question, but would it affect Mint in any way if Canonical were to reintroduce ads? I know Mint’s a fork but I’m not sure how integrated that part of the OS is.

That sounds an awful lot like modifying an ESP32 script I’ve been trying to follow from a YouTube tutorial published a while back. Research hasn’t uncovered anything for me to troubleshoot the issue so it’s a really shit experience.

I thought OneDrive was a Windows thing. What’s it doing on Linux?

Where can you get two 16 TB HDDs for $320? Cheapest I could find was a 14TB Toshiba N300 for around $320 each and I’m on the fence about getting them because they’re supposedly pretty noisy. Were the models OP mentioned not for NAS use?

Mint works pretty well! I’ve never been much of a power user so using its GUI (Cinnamon 'cause I failed miserably at running KDE) to update and install certain programs is pretty convenient.

It’d be nice if an OS pre installation option was available in the manufacturer’s website. I’m sure Linux would get a bump in popularity by the average person if it led to a dip in their PC/laptop’s overall price.
