I’m leaning towards Ubuntu because that’s what everyone said would work. Some people in the comments are also saying this. I’ve never installed Linux on a Mac before.

I also have an old Macbrook Pro I got the same year

I’ve heard multiple people say that about the Wifi

I like it because it’s flat.

Couldn’t you juat do that stuff with a phone?

I already have a flat mac mini. You know, the old ones that look flat.

I have a mac mini and a Macbook pro I got in 2018 I haven’t used for anything, thinking about trying Mint on this hardware.

That’s fair to say, Apple is very expensive, I just think the package is worth it for a lot of people if they’re willing to learn the settings menu (and remember it, crucially)

OK seems like you knew what I was trying to say, do you have an answer to this question?

What are some advantages that Linux Mint and macOS have over each other?

Oh yeah? What Apple machine do you recommend for Mint?

I’m a really big fan of both Mac Mini and Mac Studio. Macbook Pro is good too, but it is overpriced compared to the other two machines. It’s not as ‘idiot-proof’ as some people believe, though. Most people don’t know their settings, I’ve had trouble with this on the Mac too, the settings menu is intense, Windows-level privacy vs end-to-end encryption, all dependent on settings.

The only part that woke me up was the part where Marx uses the concept of publicly available free hookers to insult somebody’s wife. Edit: Oh shit, no, that’s the Manifesto, that was Engels probably.

I actually got into an argument with one of my friends, but yeah, I am kind of looking for purchasing advice I guess you could say.

The answer to the tire question, is that I have many cars and trucks and SUVs, a few I use regularly and a few that are sort of rotting in this vacant lot next to my home but I swear they’ll be worth something in the future if I fix them up, which I totally will.

No, that’s Engels, when he’s readable, Engels is always on the cover too.

Yes, they can be adjusted, it just requires multiple steps. The reason I didn’t explain it to you is because it’s exhausting and I don’t remember off the top of my head. I have adjusted how to open files on my Apple machines in the past, as well as the other things you mentioned, you’ve got to look it up, especially since they like to occasionally change the settings menu. If I gave you a tutorial it might not be totally up to date. Facebook, Youtube and Tiktok all have settings tutorials for Apple.

This is has happened already with Minecraft servers

He had a way of making simple concepts complicated, very sleep-inducing.

Oh man Plato’s Republic takes me back. So hard to get past the first ten pages. I had Plato’s Republic and Das Kapital next to my nightstand because I had insomnia. Put me right to sleep, my eyelids would get heavy after a few paragraphs every time. Edit: I had Infinite Jest for the same reason. I initially bought it to pretend to be smart, which is the only reason anyone has ever purchased Infinite Jest, but I kept it due to insomnia.

But why?

That sucks, I miss blogs a lot, we should all do blogs again.
