I can’t think of time where I needed anything more than Mint for a desktop. It’s been on at least one device in my house since 2010.

And even the Desktops with Bluetooth can often have in incompatible version for file transfers. Bluetooth is a mess.

It’s weird to not see any posts about Azure. I remember watching a keynote from Microsoft’s CEO several years ago where he explicitly said the company’s focus was on Azure and cloud applications, and that the role of Windows was simply to get you there. That’s it. This is also inline with comments about Win7 being the last good OS because that’s about when the transition started.

Not who you replied to, but I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for years knowing it’s limitations and would occasionally use Google if I needed more specific search results, however, these days Google Search is about the same as DDG and (even as a fan) I have to admit DDG was never and is not a spectacular search engine. Honestly, the thing that surprises me most is that when I get inadequate results from DDG and try Google, the results are basically the same. Not a great look for Google.
