So A says that B sort of says that it is C's fault.
I'm sorry but this seems like it's closer to gossip than relevant news

Thanks for the review, very informative!
You are absolutely correct. I'm not sure if it's different now but back when I bought my Fairphone 3 they were very clear about this. Website filled with stuff like "The most sustainable phone is the one you already have" and emphasizing that not buying a phone is much better than buying a Fairphone. They merely claim to do better than other phone manufacturers.
Also, IIRC, their goal is not so much to beat the sector, but to move the whole sector in the right direction. When they first got fairtrade gold into a Fairphone, they set up a company to sell fairtrade gold for electronics, so other manufacturers could decide to follow their example.
Maintenance and security support has ended for Ubuntu 20.04. Are you or is your employer paying for Extended Support?
If not, your setup is about to enable a whole lot of other people to do their job too 😉
No need to get on the latest, hopping over to a just over 3 years old version of Ubuntu is enough to get security patches again.
Yep, as for the last point: the problem was not so much the devs but data going through a Chinese server
If Mint works for you, just stick with it. No need to try a different distribution to compare. You'll know when you need it.
I would only go to Fedora if you need it. For example newer drivers (kernel, mesa). Don't go change the kernel and/or mesa on a distribution, probably better to switch at that point. Or if you need KDE or GNOME for some reason. Wayland is disabled in Mint by default, but can be enabled. It's been over a year IIRC since they added experimental Wayland support so it may be fine by now.
Differences between Linux distributions are exaggerated.
Mint is a great choice, it is very stable, and it really holds your hand via the Software Center.
However, stable also means old: it does not support the latest hardware.
If you have hardware that released after (rough estimate) April 2024, consider something based on Fedora, such as Bazzite, instead. It comes with modern drivers and should support modern hardware much better.

Thanks for the addition, I never meant to imply that but I should have specified. For me personally it's the best I can legally get because I can't get a diagnosis.
If you are undiagnosed and unmedicated, you can try a very strong cup of coffee, or an energy drink. Ritalin is also a stimulant, and caffeine has similar effects.
Beware though, if you consume caffeine regularly, this won't work.
My recommendation: drink only water on normal days, drink very strong caffeinated drink in case of emergency.
It does give you a headache later in the day, and/or the day after, so keep that in mind.

SmartMux looks cool! Any clue already what that means for ASUS dual-AMD users who currently use supergfxctl?
Will supergfxctl not be necessary anymore? Or is the MUX switch a separate thing from powering down the dGPU to save energy?
