Since i’m in south america, i will grab the popcorn and watch the gringos fighting with brown people for the nth time.
They became split after 2019, with a roller-coaster track of (some) highs and (more) lows, specially if we are counting the marvel disney tv series too (since they are inter-connected now, we should). No genre or franchise ever died suddenly, even DC had successes years after BvS ‘Martha is our mother’s name’ event (which also did make money itself, the loss of goodwill only shows up in later entries).
My analysis is that most of the successes are prologues of pre-2019 stories and characters, redoubling the appeal to nostalgia and giving an ending where Marvel lets (guardians 3, deadpool for fox marvel, spider man with the 3 spiders and ending current peter’s arc). The actually new stories and characters, that should be the ones being widely seen cause they are supposed to star and steer the MCU now, have been duds (and lots of old timers are also having hard times, like Nick Fury). This is a strong indicator of decline, and the fact they threw money bags at Robert D. Junior to appeal again is another.
The code of the last version must be available to find, it probably runs most of the games. Yuzu and Riujinx legacy must be continued, but on other places, not corporate controlled ones (Both countries and platforms).
It’s mostly an aesthetic choice, a choice between desktop environments.
Desktop environment (DE) is just the visual bells and whistles that you use to navigate the PC, like that quick animation when you minimize or maximize a program (Apple loves this), a start menu that has cute icons for each program and turns blue when you pass the mouse over it (or a start menu that is just a raw list of program names), etc.
Mint Cinnamon uses a DE that looks like Windows 7 reborn, Mint XFCE uses a DE that looks like Windows XP reborn, and Mint MATE uses a DE that looks like Windows Vista reborn.
People will tell you that these DEs will have a slight difference in consumption of RAM, where the most ‘shiny’ DEs will consume more RAM (XFCE<MATE<Cinnamon) by virtue of having more bells and whistles and some different programs that execute the same function, but the difference is irrelevant in practice (unless you are using a 2gb or less PC, where each 50mb of RAM counts). So it’s mostly what you fancy to look at. I just like the old-school visual of XFCE.
You are still a beginner, and in that case almost everyone rightfully says to go to regular Mint only, instead of LMDE or any other distro. A beginner will not know how to evaluate the situation in case of troubles or follow any complex instruction (like anything involving the terminal that is not completely copy-paste). Mint is fully click-click-install now, something that no other distro has equaled. Linux Mint, regular edition, is widely compatible with all sorts of hardware, that in other distros give black screens or esoteric deep s**t at install or later, which is a show stopper for beginners just making the transition.
I myself am not a beginner anymore, and every other distro (save Mint) has failed me at some point. Debian, LMDE and Sparky Linux have not even booted in one notebook, Bazzite (Fedora) has after a few weeks given me a black screen in a desktop pc with Nvidia that i could not solve, and Arch - Endeavour OS - Manjaro have simply collapsed after a few months (probably by using AUR, which is supposed to be their main advantage, but i could not even discover the source of the problem, in each). Everything was restored in order after a blanck install of Linux Mint XFCE, which is the only distro i use now.
Mano, até chorei de emoção aqui no old.lemmy, totalmente matou as saudades do antigo old.vocesabeonde. Até minha extensão save as eBook, que eu uso para salvar uma página como epub para ter depois, funciona aqui perfeitamente igual ao original. Valeu, muito agradecido.
Signal é um honeypot do governo ianque, então daria na mesma que usar Whatsapp.
Eu tenho preguiça de tirar foto video etc, então só vou relatar que eu ainda uso um notebook Toshiba de 2006 com Linux Mint XFCE, tendo só maximizado a memória RAM para opulentos 3 Gb e colocado um SSD de 500Gb. Serve para estudos comuns, ler PDFs de apostilas e escrever textos (obsidian e libreoffice), navegar na internet surpreendentemente bem (vendo aula e youtube, mesmo que prefira colocar em 720p para rodar liso sempre) e páginas normais no firefox (mas nunca mais de 5 abas por vez pra garantir). E usando Ublock Origin + LibRedirect (instâncias alternativas livres de sites comerciais (como invidious pra youtube) para minimar o rastreamento e anúncios, e que de quebra tornam a navegação muito mais leve e rápida também).
I’m sure in the near future there will be a niche in Israeli cinema and journalism with movies and videos telling sad stories about the suffering of israeli soldiers while in service and their lifes afterwards, and with nothing to say about palestinians.
