So there's no risks for regular users if they get hacked? Asking for learning purposes.

Interesting. Thanks for letting me know!

I know this doesn't help but I think the file picker is by far the worst feature Linux has ever had. And our opinions are quite common among Linux users.

Hopefully they at least have ssd and 8gb ram.

I give you 3 options and you google them and choose the one which suits you the best. 1. Change the boot order in your bios (Mint drive first) 2. Install package 'os-prober' and then update-grub (Win10 will appear in Grub) 3. Install rEFInd to replace Grub and choose everytime which OS you want to boot (set timeout by yourself). Warning: theming the rEFInd is known to be addictive.

It isn't actually a file manager. It is called a "file picker" and has been a reason to rant as long as I can remember, so close to a decade.

What a strange post in many ways.

Not at all. There are many many projects out there which should be killed anyway. Just stop using them.

I went from decade with dwm into Alpine + Sway and had zero issues. Actually the opposite, all the screen tearing and multi screen issues are now gone.

Hopefully LMDE6 is a game changer for the most popular first Linux distro. If the CosmicOS by System76 doesn't win that title.

My grandparents were 1,5 years with Mint but LMDE5 has now been for 10 months and it is awesome. Literally 0 issues since day 0 whereas Win7 and Win10 caused constant headaches for me over the phone.

Thank you!

What kind of question is this? Sell the Framework and use the money for maintenance of T480. Buy new batteries (Lenovo original if you can find a source) and dual-pipe heatsink (if your unit is missing the Nvidia gpu). Clean the dust and with compressed air and replace the thermal paste.

That T480 will serve you eternally. Especially with Linux. If someone is able to port Coreboot with Coreboot configurator into that model, donate some coffee money for the devs.

What are you even asking? There's literally zero reasons you to force you to prefer Framework to T480. And some other might prefer Macbook over anything etc. The personal preferences aren't a reason to force or argue.
