I think it would be better to convey your disgust through interpretive dance - you might qualify for the Olympics and then go on to win gold!

When the kids from next door lose their ball over the fence and try and retrieve it they're gonna get a face full of flame!

They paint their houses those bright colours because of the long, brutally cold, depressing, grey, sun-starved winters. But great place to visit in the summer months.

See how confusing it's going to be. Thanks, Elon Musk, thanks for nothing you jerk!

Does this mean I won't be able to use the letter 'x' anymore because a multi-billion dollar company has trademarked it:

  • Two people fighting will now be boing.
  • When I want to bake some bread I will mi the ingredients together.
  • When I want to leave a building I will eit it.
  • I will now look up to the stars at night to see the magnificent epance of the Milkyway galay.

Yeah, all imgur.com images for me are blank, and I can't figure out why.

Yeah, okay, I am a little bit techy, but so far I haven't had to employ any of my limited techy abilities in Linux Mint. I didn't even notice I was using it more, it just happened over a few months that I was finding there was no need to go back to Windows. To load programs on Linux Mint I just google "How to load program X on Linux", and there will be a page saying, type "sudo apt install <program_name>" in Terminal and it always works and I'm done. (I'm a beginner programmer who was told to try Linux for the Unix stuff) .

If you're a gamer, I would look up any discussion of gaming in Linux - that would be my only proviso.

I wouldn't say I'm that techy and I recently jumped over to Linux Mint from Windows because it has the C-compiler gcc pre-installed and it's UNIX seems to be a better experience for programming. It was easy to install, I find I'm going back to Windows less and less. I used to use Photoshop a lot, now I'm just using Krita. I'm lovin it so far. Only games are a problem maybe, although the game I play has a linux version, I just can't be bothered loading yet.

Linux Mint is supposed to be the easy for-the-layman Linux distro and that's been my experience so far - everything has worked, no issues.

We should probably do deep analysis of all these positions, tbh. Of course, 8 is the preferred approach for most people, but I prefer 9 to minimize splash-back (I'm still processing position 0, hmm...)
