| schestowitz | <p>Finally, Linux is incredibly flexible. This is one of the main reasons why so many users (even those with an outsource web development company like BairesDev) have adopted it as their desktop operating system of choice. If you don’t like the way it looks or behaves, you are free to change it. </p> | Jul 02 10:03 |
| schestowitz | <p> One area that perfectly illustrates this point is the desktop environment. Linux enjoys a good number of desktop environments, many of which have a very unique take on how the desktop is used. In fact, there are over 20 Linux desktop environments that are in active development, as of 2020. </p></blockquote></li> | Jul 02 10:03 |

| schestowitz | <p>And, after I say low-powered, I imply Low-Powered. Even PCs from the 2000s can run Mint. The complete model of Linux Mint requires a mere 2GBs of RAM. In case you’re a glutton for punishment, you may even run it with as little as 1GB. </p> | Jul 02 10:03 |
| schestowitz | <p> One factor you may’t do anymore is run it on 32-bit processors. Whereas there are a handful of 32-bit packages retained for Steam video games and Wine, which supplies Home windows utility interoperability for Linux, Mint 20 has dropped mainstream 32-bit assist. </p></blockquote></li> | Jul 02 10:03 |

| schestowitz | <p>Through a fair bit of digging, we were able to obtain a copy of Borealis, which turned out to be another full Linux distribution. Unlike Crostini, which is based on Debian, Borealis is based on Ubuntu, another popular variety of Linux. Just like the existing Linux apps support, we believe Borealis will integrate itself with Chrome OS rather than being a full desktop experience. </p> | Jul 02 10:39 |
| schestowitz | <p> However, we found one key difference between Borealis and a normal installation of Ubuntu, as Borealis includes a pre-installed copy of Steam. This lines up with what we learned at CES 2020, when Kan Liu, Google’s director of product management for Chrome OS, shared that the upcoming Steam gaming support would be based on Linux. </p></blockquote></li> | Jul 02 10:39 |

| schestowitz | [12:24] <AVRS> Like DailyMail which added a correction about RMS not defending Epstein under a signature and an ad | Jul 02 12:41 |
