  • Now I am faced with needing to replace my SSD which gives me reason enough to install a new distro.

    Replacing an SSD is pretty simple on Linux; just copy over the data, adjust the partitions, select the new drive in UEFI/BIOS. If you want to try a different distro, any time is good, but a new SSD doesn’t require a reinstall.

    My advice from my distro-hopping days is to dual-boot with potential new distros (unless space is at a premium). I just made sure to share important folders like /home/. That way, if I didn’t like my new setup, I could quickly fall-back to the old.



  • I think you’re working on old data. According to Wikipedia:

    Prior to the 1994 constitutional reform, the president and vice president were required to be Roman Catholics. This stipulation was abolished in 1994.

    and

    Article 89 of the Constitution detail the requirements:

    Article 89. To be elected president or vice president of the Nation, it is necessary to have born in Argentine territory, or be the son of a native citizen, having been born in a country foreign; and the other qualities required to be elected senator

    Article 55. The requirements to be elected senator are: to be thirty years old, to have been a citizen of the Nation for six years, enjoy an annual income of two thousand pesos or an equivalent income, and be a native of the province that chooses it, or with two years of residence immediate in it.

    If you’re new, IMHO you should be looking at the distro as a whole, not the DE specifically. Yeah, if you find one you mostly like but want to try other similar distros, it’s probably a good thing to stay with the same DE. However, it’s not something to get hung up on as distros often tweak the DE.

    And to answer your question, Cinnamon. After years of distro-hopping, I’ve spent most of the past decade on Linux Mint.






  • If you’re getting 650 Mbps, all of your hardware is definitely capable of running 1 Gbps

    Just to clarify, this means there aren’t any 100 Mbps bottlenecks, not that the hardware can run at 1 Gbps. When Gigabit was new, a lot of hardware was rated for Gigabit but couldn’t actually get 1000Mbps. I know this is less of an issue now Gigabit is mature, but there’s still a possibility something is bottlenecking just due to the hardware not being able to keep up.




  • Because you’re using an external device to extend the capabilities of the port. It can’t do that without the dock, so now you have two things to carry around.

    Maybe that’s what the previous commenter meant, but they were bemoaning the number of ports, not dongles, etc. Even then, if you are using those ports, you are already carrying around extra accessories/dongles which might be replaced by the dock (or in my case, moving between stationary docks).

    If you look at the comments on this, there are two distinct camps of people who will never agree: those who expect their laptop to be a self-contained unit that doesn’t require anything that wasn’t packaged with it to meet common use cases (which requires more ports), and those who are okay with docks and dongles and adapters.

    Sure, and other commenters are pointing out that manufacturers are serving both groups.
