Linux Mint sold me on long-term support software for my OS.

When I was an Ubuntu user, I did enjoy getting a new OS release every six months. It really matter if big upgrades didn't come every time, but it was something nice to have even if it was just for novelty sake.

Now that I've move to Linux Mint, I've come to appreciate long-term support software. Even tough the big releases come every couple of years, the three point releases that come in-between makes the wait worthwhile. The best thing, is that if any big upgrade in a component of the OS can be come with a point release, not having to wait until the next big release to come.

To be honest, the long-term support model for the OS has won me over. Mainly because it simply has proven to cover all the needs I've for my computing needs without having to worry about my system braking every 6 months. Which, with Ubuntu didn't happen to me.

What's best, Linux Mint's point releases keeps my system reasonably up-to-date without having the worries of upgrading completely every time.

So, if you want a good Linux distro for general computing with support for at least 5 years, but with an option to upgrade to a new version every two years, Linux Mint got you covered.

New CEO at Twitter.

Elon Musk appointed Linda Yaccarino as the new Twitter CEO, and the conservative Twitterland went crazy over it. It seems like she is to connected to the progressive and globalist side of things.

To be honest, she seems to have the credentials to at least be given the chance to see if she can manage. I thing she can do a good job, and definitely a better one than Must has been doing so far, but only time will tell.

At the end of the day, the most vocal people against the appointment are the ones who aren't happy with anything, or the ones who can't give a chance to anyone that doesn't believe the same thing they do. We'll have to give Linda a chance to prove she is a good option for the CEO role.
