    Why is this picture getting pinned? I’d like to see the updates, but this is just a picture. What am I missing?

      I think I’ve done that when I made one of my first posts on a Lemmy instance too. I don’t know why you can’t post a link and also specify an image for the post. Lemmy needs some refinement.

      I thought I was legitimately missing something that everyone else was seeing and upvoting. I guess that wasn’t the case.

    So I demonstrated both Pop and Mint live usb options to my son and he said he wanted Mint as it ‘looks more serious’ and now I’m wondering how the hell I install Mint as dual boot on an ‘06 MacBook Air.

    Is there a ‘more serious’ UI for Pop than the default or do I just let him do his thing and investigate Pop on my own?

        I will for sure. I’m having to play catchup as my lad is super interested in all this and I’m having to quickly get up to speed to understand how best to support it, hopefully there’ll be enough crossover between the different environments that means that as he learns, I do to, in a way that’s useful.

        Obligatory thanks for all the FOSS efforts.

          They’re both based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian, so under the hood, they are largely the same and will continue to be for the foreseeable future even as Pop!_OS diverges from Ubuntu more each year (in a good way).
