They updated SGD for 2? I used it back in the day when it only supported legacy (not that it was "legacy" at the time of course).

Yeah, don't even get me started about SecureBoot.

Why are people flushing them in the first place instead of throwing them away normally? What other random things are people putting down their toilets?

Yes.

If it's an all-you-can-eat buffet and they eat it all before leaving, sounds okay, I guess.

Just set the Evil Bit, yeesh.

For one specific guy's case. The only problem I've ever had with Ubuntu/Mint audio before I started halfassedly tinkering with it was that Ubuntu didn't disable the speakers when you plugged in headphones for like 6 releases in a row. Other than that, smooth sailing.

Does Ubuntu do it any better? (I'm not even going to ask about Debian.) When I tried to upgrade my last Xubuntu install, it hosed my graphics driver somehow. I was rather surprised as before that I can't remember having any trouble with dist-upgrades.

Oh, and apparently they still have that bug where if I launch Firefox from the LiveCD, it kills my graphics, too. When I was putting the fresh (Mint) install on after the above, that happened. And for some brilliant reason the bootloader gets written at the END of the installation. Oh, and they redesigned GRUB a few years back to make it basically impossible to boot from outside as far as I can tell.

Being able to successfully boot your machine tends to be important to being productive.

I seem to remember quite a lot of shouting when OOXML was being pushed out, at least around here.

"Those who do not know UNIX are doomed to reimplement it, poorly."

Yeah, I'm an XFCE guy myself ever since Unity, but anything that depends on GNOME (e.g. GIMP) may be problematic.

Yeah, and then GNOME (and anything else that depends on it) won't work. Try to keep up.
