In my experience, online websites can help find a distro with minimal support, but they’re quickly out of date. Best way I’ve found is to flash a live USB, boot, and check if all hardware is recognised.
Stuff like Linux-hardware and Arch Wiki’s hardware support pages are a nice place to start, but if the last update was a while back you may find your hardware to be supported better than online documentation may suggest.
If it's a new book and one that I think other people may be interested in borrowing, I'll get the hardcover for the extra protection.
However, there's a used paperback store down the street from me that has a whole bunch of heavily used paperbacks for like $1 each, and those have definitely been dominating my collection lately. Sometimes I'll just pick up a dozen of them. That little store is one of those treasure troves of unexpected things, even though when you find one of those treasures, you might need to flip the pages carefully to prevent it from falling apart.
As an ex McDicks employee the mistake is going into mcdonalds at the end of the night. Past 7pm things slow down and employees start heading home. And drive thru ordering is always prioritized over in store orders.
If you want good McDonalds show up in the lunch/dinner rush, all other times they’re running low on staff, and the food has sat in their warmers for eons. It’s also kind luck of the draw on if you get the employees that have 3 brain cells. Sometimes you’ll show up late when the non nose pickers are there and actually get good food. Other times you’ll get there and spend 10 minutes staring at a guy picking his nose looking at his phone instead of grabbing the food and putting it into the bag.
That was my experience 10 years ago. Nothing has really changed other than prices going up. They’ve made some changes to improve the quality of their items a little. But it’s still McDonals which pays minimum wage which means minimum effort.
It’s gotten to the point that I buy games without looking them up first. I’ve been running Linux as my daily driver for over a decade, and buying a game used to take research. Is there a native version (probably not but it happens once in a while)? What it scoring on ProtonDB? What have the Lutris folks figured out?
Now I just buy the game and play it. Granted I don’t tend to play competitive multiplayer games so I don’t run into cheat prevention system nightmares.
This has been the best part of how it’s developed the past few years. I’ve recently bought lies of p, baldur’s gate 3, and sons of the forest (at 1.0) without needing to look up anything. All three simply installed and ran great. So nice not having to fiddle with launch options and stuff.
I like paperback for reading, such as novels or whatever book I’ll be holding for an extended period of time.
In contrast I prefer hardcover for books that are more visual in content or that are made to be consulted briefly such as encyclopaedias, dictionaries, etc. Or if I want it to stay open and flat on a surface, hardcover.
I’m ambivalent about small/medium sized gift books or trinket books. Those can be whatever type of cover.
McDonald’s has been on the decline since I worked there 13 years ago. What you’re reporting as dry and overcooked is actually food that has been hot held long past the time it should have been thrown out. You can’t even get a burger patty that has been cooked within the past two hours most of the time unless you’re there during peak times.
Do you know what they didn’t like about Mint? If it’s just the DE (which I imagine covers most of the look and feel for a beginner) then there are three different defaults to try.
