Hmm...i cant find any options for adding specific torrent trackers in mylar3 either?

The model 3 is not a compact vehicle...it's a regular size sedan.

With these more ethical alternatives available, why do we keep using Spotify?

  1. Brand recognition
  2. Availability
  3. Library

I use Mint on my daily driver laptop, and I'm not defending windows, but the fact that things are way less intuitive in Linux makes it less user friendly and not a good solution for non-techies. I mean, I have to use one of 3 different ways of installing something depending in what the dev kind of feels for, that's insanely terrible UX.

Sleep mode that doesn't work consistently, WiFi driver issues, printer driver issues, touchpad driver issues, several different wonky ways to install programs instead of just double-clicking an .exe and pressing "next-next-OK", random shutdown of programs for no reason or error codes...the list goes on. And on topnof that, all the stuff that people are used to using that just doesn't run on Linux at all.

I'd have to look at it when I get home, I have no clue off the top of my head.

Yeah I've tried the route of manually inputting a static IP, it will connect to the printer but it still fails to send jobs to the printer. I've resigned to just accepting that it's incapable of WiFi printing with the HW I have, so I send documents to other devices for printing.

the only thing most people need today is a computer that can run a web browser and connect to a printer.

I cannot the life of me get my Linux laptop to use my fucking Canon WiFi printer. It detects the printer, says it's connected, but it simply will not send a print job to it. Windows, iOS and android all use it just fine...but this fucking Linux machine just won't, I've spent hours fiddling with drivers and nothing works, it's infuriating!

If that was the case I wouldn't have 4GB of idle ram just sitting in my PC. There is no unloading to swap when 50% of available ram is unused.

I have 8GB in my laptop running mint, its used for browsing, office work, 3D print slicing, and occasionally I torrent a file from it...it is absolutely no issue whatsoever and it never even breaks 4GB use unless it's actively slicing a 3D model. 16GB minimum I can agree with for gaming, but for desktop use as mentioned above you can easily get by with less.
