Oh the humanity, a shame if someone made a script and distributed it with instructions on how to use it.

Patience young one, Wayland just implemented that protocol, it'll be here soon

AlijahTheMediocre ,

The Mint team recently made experimental Wayland support available. Still very alpha but I don't think it will be years.

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it's 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you're about to execute... And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

I somehow locked myself out of sudo when trying to give my user permission to read serial devices.

Had to reinstall.

If only game developers optimized their games...

The newest hardware is getting powerful enough that devs are banking on people just buying better cards to play their games.

Toolbx and Distrobox are basically identical.

The only difference is Distrobox is more agnostic and will create .desktop files for containers and applications installed in them automatically. Toolbx you need to make the .desktop manually.

Boomers won’t part with their homes, and that’s a problem for young families ( www.cnn.com )

Buying a family-sized home with three or more bedrooms used to be manageable for young people with children. But with home prices climbing faster than wages, mortgage rates still close to 23-year highs and a shortage of homes nationwide, many Millennials with kids can’t afford it. And Gen Z adults with kids? Even harder....

The electoral college complicates things by having each state be its own separate popular vote.

Two states, Nebraska and Maine, will split their electoral votes based on their popular vote. But the rest of the states just give all their electoral votes to their popular vote winner.

The core issue is that a presidential candidate can win 50.1% of the vote in a state and will receive all electoral votes as if 100% of the state voted for him.

A secondary issue is that electoral votes aren't equal. Each state has a minimum of three electoral votes. This creates a situation where Wyoming, a state who's population is smaller than our capital Washington D.C., has more voting power per person per electoral vote than California; the most populous state.

Too bad, so sad

That and assistance shouldn't be pulled from under you the moment you make a penny over a certain amount. It should be weened off.
