Thanks! I've actually done it before back in the days when Mint was quite new,and I'm a programmer by trade (although mostly on Mac) so I'm not too worried about it, but I don't have a second drive (and don't really want one given a 2TB NVME drive) so I'd want to do all the backups first, at least for important stuff like my friend and I's Minecraft server. For a computer I barely use it hasn't felt worth it. Most of my computer time (outside of work) is on my Mac laptop.

    Fair enough, I like it better without but I don't have a strong preference and have no issue adapting to whatever the style of the repo is.

    I learned about it researching tools to automatically enforce formatting style and came across StandardJS, which eliminates them by default.

    I don't doubt it, but do you happen to have a source?

    The only plus side I guess is I only use that computer for a bit of gaming and not for anything else, and i did manage to turn of automatic updates before they AI-ified everything. If I had more time and energy in my day I'd dual boot it, maybe some day.

    Because if you're looking for a subfolder you're not looking for a file, and vice versa? It doesn't matter much in sparse directories, but it annoys me having to scroll through a ton of files to find the folder I want in directories with both.

    I too like a lot of things about Mac, but finder could be improved, for sure.

    (I have gotten used to a lot of its features and hate Windows' defaults too, so there's that. I don't think an ideal exists, unless it's in Linux somewhere and I just need to dual boot the desktop and get it over with)

    The vibe I've been getting lately looking at Steam's push for Steam OS compatibility is that it might actually be worth trying a dual boot again next time I can bestir myself to mess with it. I've got W11 but managed to disable auto updates so I haven't received all the AI crap, but also means my OS is increasingly behind on security updates, which I'm not pleased about.

    I don't care about the latest and greatest either, generally, so maybe even more worth it...although most of my new game purchases are indie titles and most of those only release for windows. So we'll see. I already have a strong preference for Mac support so I can play stuff on my laptop too.
