You can also use any of the packagekit gui’s such as gnome software or kde diskover
Hotzilla is not in the sudoers file

Then what would be needed to make it a Linux distro, instead of “just” a Linux-based OS?
Tbh I don’t

Add to this that running Steam on Linux Mint is probably the most “turn-key” Linux gaming experience you’ll probably get
Around late 2017 I think. I was a first year university student. I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 when I started uni, but Windows would break with just about every other update. Eventually I was fed up with it and I wanted to try an alternative OS, so I installed Linux Mint next to my Windows installation.
I quickly found myself using it more than Windows, especially since a lot of software I had to use for university was significantly easier to install on Linux (think LaTeX). Quickly, it got to the point where I only used Windows as a gaming OS.
About half a year into this “experiment”, my Windows 10 decided to nuke itself, again. This time the network driver wasn’t working, which is annoying af to fix, so I didn’t for a long time. Also in 2018 gaming on Linux got a lot better, with Proton becoming a thing around that time. Even when I eventually got around to fixing my Windows installation, I found myself not really using it.
Eventually got into a distrohopping phase, used Fedora for quite a while, but right now I settled on Debian with Gnome as my DE. It’s not the most “exciting” setup, but I found that to be a good thing actually, because it allows me to get the most work done.
Mentioning you’re using NixOS is slowly becoming the new “I use arch btw”, isn’t it?

This feels like Hertog Jan slander.
As long as there is software that only runs on Windows, Windows won’t die.

Oh damn, would not have expected that to work. The worst hack I ever used is when I helped a friend install Linux who didn’t have any spare (working) USB drives around. He did have a spare SSD in his PC however, so I ended up flashing the ISO to that.
