Quoting: TheRiddick3) Nvidia to offer Wayland support.
They are offering it, it's just none of DE willing to implement it
What do you mean? Is there something Nvidia-specific they need to implement?

And you guys know what's the funniest thing? Windows 10 will soon have Wayland support in WSL2 no matter what GPU will be in use.

Quoting: DefaultX-odThey are doing pretty good job to increase performance for gnome shell, isn't it a good reason to stop hate them?
It *is* nice to finally see Canonical contributing useful patches upstream!
I remember first release of Ubuntu with gnome shell, and I was like: What is that, why you doing this to me, where is Unity or at least why gnome and not KDE?, but now it's like I miss Unity only 30%.

Quoting: tmtvlNeat. Too bad it's Ubuntu, we don't need Canonical to grow too big for their shoes.
Jesus Christ what's wrong with you people, why you can't just be happy?
Give it up. You are not going to single-handedly hector people, with one-liners yet, into ceasing to dislike Canonical.

Quoting: ageresMint should switch its base from Ubuntu to ... something ...
Debian rebase. They already have LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) as a contingency plan for the day when they can no longer withstand Canonicals... canonicalisms.
Yeah right, yet again Canonical is guilty that Linux Mint uses Ubuntu's repositories. Who else to blame?

Quoting: tuubiI don't know. How do you add a snap repository? Oh right, you can't.
And that's great, why should user add something to install something, just upload everything to one place and be Gucci

Quoting: DefaultX-odflatpak install flathub org.libreoffice.LibreOffice

snap install libreoffice

who would win?
I use GUIs. If I wanted to fiddle with command lines, instead of Mint I'd use Debian or Arch or, I dunno, does Slackware still exist?
Not that there's anything wrong with the command line. It's powerful, useful for those it's useful for, and I'm glad it's there. But probably anyone for whom the length of the command is the main feature shouldn't actually be using it.
Ok, if you use GUI, how on earth you'll add flatpak repository without terminal(because it's same as PPA, but sandboxed)?
And again it's not length, it's simplicity (flathub org.libreoffice.LibreOffice what is that, why)
