I had trouble using Flatseal to adjust permissions for Flatpak applications in Linux Mint. But that was a few months ago and may have been fixed. Other than that I never really had trouble with stuff being broken or unavailable in Mint.

I guess if you use very new hardware you might prefer a newer kernel than the one Mint uses. Or if you want the latest versions of packages, a rolling distro might suit you better. Or you might prefer a different filesystem. But if none of this bothers you, there's no need to switch. Mint generally works well.

This is the use of "political" in which cis straight white men just of course get human rights, but everyone else's rights are a "political" matter. What's considered "not political" is a good guide to where privilege lies.

Yes, Biden's mindset still hasn't caught up with the present circumstances, and probably won't.

A potential plan by Republican leaders to steal the 2024 presidential election. The plan involves delaying the certification of election results in key battleground states, potentially decreasing the overall number of electors appointed and allowing Donald Trump to win the presidency through a contingent election, whereby the House of Representatives, not the Electoral College, determines the president.

Republicans seem to be threatening to make all vaccines unavailable nationwide. Obviously, this would be extremely bad.

Small government and freedom.

And if the Republicans win the election they're threatening to make vaccines (possibly all vaccines) unavailable nationwide. They're planning to withhold one of the greatest medical advances ever from the entire US population. This will plunge the country back into health conditions not seen for hundreds of years.

$199 now. Still seems a bit overpriced.

Also why do we always hear about trans women athletes and never about trans men?

That's a matter of the psychology of right-wing hate mongers, and how easy they find it to rile people up about a non-issue.

Yeah, if I were married to Tucker Carlson I'd be pretty messed up too.

Link to poll: https://www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2024/10/23/voters-prefer-candidates-who-are-supportive-of-transgender-rights-think-recent-political-ads-have-gotten-mean-spirited-and-out-of-hand

When voters are asked whether they are more inclined to support a candidate who backs transgender rights or one who opposes them, voters overwhelmingly choose the candidate in favor of transgender rights, by a margin of 21 points. This trend holds true among Independents, with a 19-point preference. Even 22% of Republicans indicate they are more likely to support a candidate who favors trans rights—a significantly higher percentage than the share of Democrats who would back a candidate opposing them.

Furthermore, voters showed frustration with the wave of anti-trans advertisements. When asked if they thought political attack ads against the transgender community have gotten mean spirited and out of hand, far more voters agree than disagree (+28 points). This finding holds true for independents (+23 points) as well, with even 31% of Republicans finding that there were too many political attack ads.
