  • Also, no, this is not an ideal way to do this. Ideally every package you want is in your distro’s repos so you’d just need to do “apt install [package]”.

    The reason this one isn’t is because mullvad wants to make sure you use their tested, secure, and updated version and they don’t want to maintain that for every distro. So they have you configure your package manager to use their repos.

    This is relatively uncommon to come across in Debian. You’ll normally only find it in security applications or very niche ones. The Debian repos aren’t the most comprehensive but they’ll contain the vast majority of common softwares.

    They don’t. I’ve been on the same Debian install on laptop and desktop for years. It’ll make some odd decisions with packages sometimes, but it hasn’t bricked.

    I don’t have hard data, but you don’t see these kinds of posts about Debian, Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora.


  • Max is a pseudo-mythological figure. It’s never clear in the movies how much time has passed. Word of writers says that he’s multiple people retold as one person in retrospective story, but the movies don’t show that so you can take or leave it. The game has him as an immortal doomed soul.

    Whatever is the case, I think it’s pretty clear we’re not supposed to take the story we’re told about Max via the movies as told completely faithfully.

    Not at all. I use a tiling WM, and most of my time is spent in text editors or a browser. I just like having everything visible and spaced out automatically for me.

    I think tiling WMs just have a lot of overlap with the terminal-heavy crowd. They tend to require some manual set up, and they tend to be very keyboard shortcut heavy. Both things also popular with people that tend to like using terminals.

    Also keep in mind most screenshots advertising someone’s set up are to show off, not their regular workflow. It’s like looking at someone’s professional head-shots and wondering if they usually dress like that.
