If you do Mint, snag something older than 19.3, or at least install an older kernel. 19.3 comes with the 5.x branch, which is beholden to the tranny CoC. AFAIK, if you go back to something like 4.15 or 4.17, that predates the madness (and Mint tells me that the 4.x kernel I'm on is supported through 2023).

And for new users installing 19.3, getting a non-pozzed kernel (well, non-tranny-pozzed, but sysdemd is still a thing) is pretty simple. Just open the update manager and there's a "show kernels" option. A few clicks, type your root password, reboot, and done.

17.3 is last good Mint.

Good advice. Unfortunately, newer features will require use of a newer kernel. Even with the new Code of Conduct, it's still far better than windows. Use an older version if they have all the features you want.

I'm still mad that Linus copped out. He had full control of the project, didn't he?

Pretty sure with all the big names on the contributor list, they got to him. His daughter being a raging leftist doesn't help, either.

So far I'm not seeing any features that require the 5.x kernel, so I'm comfortable sticking with what I've got for now.
