Gave a look all over the site and i see no sign of it being owned by anybody other than the original creator and a maintainer, no signs of a corporation involved, and the Wikipedia entry (i get a kick of a theme having a Wiki entry) doesn't list any such ownership so maybe it's still independent.

So far all points at just no one making a Dracula Mint theme, don't think i would be the one doing it though (and a quick search didn't get me a guide on making one either)

    Not really a fan of the new menu. Thankfully, it's pretty easy to install the Classic Menu applet instead.

    The update also broke my IME setup for Japanese. I can get it added back by going into panel edit mode, then right click on EN -> manage keyboard layouts and edit from there, but the Super-Space shortcut I had set before no longer works and that's going to take some debugging to figure out... It's still listed -- just doesn't actually do it any more. (Shift-Super-Space works though!?)

    Other than that, seems to be working OK for me so far post-update.

    Edit: Apparently the shortcut was bound to both switch to next layout and change input language; setting it to just use "switch to next layout" fixed it.

    I don't know about mint specifically but I saw a while ago that the Dracula theme was owned by jetbrains so open source derivatives tended to play on the name like "darcula". Could be a licensing thing.

    Are you dual-booting with Windows? I remember this being a constant headache for me back when I was dual-booting, since Windows uses localtime and Linux uses UTC before adjusting the time from an NTP server.

    The Arch Wiki has a page on system time, with point 4.1 addressing dual-booting with Windows.

    You can install it without issue. There might be an issue if you set it to be your default Python 3 installation but that should be the only potential issue.

    The other commenter isn't wrong but it might also be better to use Anaconda so your setup better matches what the course expects.

    I work professionally providing some of these tools and I get lost with all the variations so you're not alone. You generally don't want to mess with the "system" or "preinstalled" version of python on your system as it has a chance of breaking things. Anaconda or similar tools will package their own version so if you mess those up you can just delete it and reinstall it without breaking anything else. Virtual environments are definitely the way to go but get 10 python developers in a room and they'll give you 10 different virtual environment tool recommendations.
