This may be shit advice, but it may help.
I have a mint laptop and was also linux illiterate when I started. The way I did most of my learning was by googling (or duckduckgo-ing) “How do I [x] linux mint” and reading through stack overflow threads. If this doesn’t return results, (almost) any solution for Debian or Ubuntu will work on Mint.
In general, I just assumed that if I thought the computer could do it, there would be a way to do it.
Thank you 7th Prime Minister of Canada, Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
I grew up Catholic, and (at least here, Catholicism is a really big place) it’s not so much “he has money” as it is “he will bring stability.”
The second commenter’s “cash cow” comment is a bit of an outlier in my experience, because usually the highlights of dating a nerd are more akin to the second comment. They’ll be an active father and attentive husband, and they’re less likely to cheat (in their view). I’ve also heard things like this about D&D/Warhammer players, because they use their imagination alot (making them good at entertaining children) and the hobbies take a lot of focus (meaning they’ll be willing and able to tackle problems that arise).
Older catholics are used to men whose only role in the family is “produce baby and produce money”, so a lot of modern dating advice is in the guise of “make sure he’s a good man before you marry him”
I only noticed with my partner after they already told me they were a lefty, and we were working together one day and kept bumping each other.
Now we make sure that I sit on the right and they sit on the left.
Mine’s outside, but I also have the same version… who’s out here cloning this cat?
Oh I’ve been trying. He’s tech adverse in general, so the concept of open source software scares him because it means trusting others with regards to tech.
It also doesn’t help that my dad still isn’t filly convinced Linux isn’t a virus/dangerous to my PC.
Honestly. I genuinely have to fight to not say please and thank you.

Gotta allow for a little uncertainty, just to absolutely ruin everything.
Well there’s your problem. You need to get a cabinet.
I hate that it lines up so perfectly, and then is missing a single syllable following “linux”.
Same from eastern Canada. My happy place is around 13°.
Truly one of the systems of all time.
The book is better than the movie, and Jurassic Park is one of my favourite movies.
When I was a kid (primary school, ~2010), I watched a History Channel show about it with my little brother.
Back then, we just thought the “Boston Molassacre” was a funny name for a tragedy, so it’s stuck in my head.
As someone who also installed Mint on a Lenovo, I feel your pain. The only difference is that I was aware of the BIOS setting before I did the install because I’d read some forum posts preparing myself for the install.
The distinction isn’t universal and is often made by people from the three other Atlantic provinces.
The name “the Maritime Provinces” predates Newfoundland joining Canada, so most people from Prince Edward Island (like myself), New Brunswick, or Nova Scotia will draw a distinction between Maritime provinces (which do not include Newfoundland) and the Atlantic Provinces (which do include Newfoundland).
Most people will not even bat an eye if you call Newfoundland a Maritime Province unless they’re from another Maritime province.

I just had to go and check because I got my 2 year subscription for ~$0.75 a month ($1 CAD) back in April. When I check their pricing page while not logged in, it shows me that I can save 50% on my first year and pay $6 monthly.
