Idk about Mint in particular. There’s a way to do this in most de/wm. I would start in the system settings where you can choose light/dark themes. Then just go top to bottom in the system settings.

Sorry I couldn’t help more

Edit: If you don’t go through settings systematically like this often, it’s good practice. You always find things you’ll use later.

I think there is an option if you right click the toolbar and the go to customize toolbar

There are going to be plenty of potential windows expats. Do you in all honesty think this is going to be helpful to them? There’s a reason I didn’t guve my mom a chart like this and just did it for her.

Per GPU. Yes people know whaf a gpu is, but again you are putting a lot of faith in the average person to navigate all of that information.

This is 100% information overload for anyone who wouldn’t seek it themselves.

Your heart is in the right place, but imo, this isn’t going to help anyone. For every branch you have up to 5 options. A bunch are dependent on gpu. When you ask half of normal people what their operating system is, their answer is Dell.

Just tell people to use Mint and let them go through this chart if they are in the 1% of people who will ever look for it. The peril of these graphics and this approach is it pushes people away. Make as many choices for them as possible. Remember, we who want this are not the norm.

Fairphone4 user here. Fairphone is the kind of environment you go into knowing there are tradeoffs (e.g. the camera sucks) but for me, what you gain in terms of privacy and the downright respect they have for you as a customer are worth those tradeoffs.

Given the state of the united states, and the world in general, gaining control over your personal privacy and security are fundamental to any other initiative you undertake

Once you download wikipedia, you can edit it and distribute. Other people with their own copies can merge your changes into theirs, or you can push your changes upstream. Even if they need to be signed to accepted. Doesn’t that make Wikipedia more like the Linux Kernel and less like The Encyclopedia Britannica? Sure, for the kernel there is a “main and central” repo, but the whole point of git is that it isn’t centralized. It’s distributed.

In fact, in a loose way, wikipedia meets the criteria of Free Software. You can:

1. Read the source code
2. Modify the source code
3. Distribute the source code
4. Distribute your modifications to the source code

Agreeish? (M)any one of us can download wikipedia. Does that still make it centralized when it is designed to be distributed that easily? That design choice is baked into the ethos. Centralized vs. Decentralized seems not to be binary.

I would caution against Arch. I don’t think it breaks as often as people suggest, but you may run into a problem like steam not loading when you want to play something with your friends. That gaming session is shot unless you can fix it on the fly. After a few years you will, but you need to balance those kinds of growing pains against doing something you want to do in the moment. Don’t expect it to work the way you expect every time.
