When Debian 13 ships next month, I think Mint will be the last major distro using Xorg by default.
RHEL10 just shipped with both GNOME and KDE but without Xorg even in the repos.

I really hope we see an acceleration in GIMP releases now that 3.0 is out. Seeing “new contributor” here is a good thing.
At the very least, these improvements get into the hands of GIMP users sooner instead of languishing in a dev release for years.
The NDP is 7 people now. What does “party leadership” even mean?
Not officially. But if Carney let’s his Quebec Liberals align with the Bloc on Quebec issues, enough of the Bloc will side with the libs on the rest.
Fake outrage is becoming more American than Levi’s and Coca Cola.
Wow. That sounds like it will make YouTube unwatchable.
The worst moment now are when that happens by coincidence.
Same. I just moved my 77 year old mother to Mint (LMDE). It went very smoothly. The only complaint has been that Thunderbird does not suggest addresses from people that have emailed her in the past when she is sending a new message. This is just because it is a fresh install. It will learn these over time.
I used the Windows 10 end-of-support as an excuse. The real value though will be to get off the treadmill that made her create a Microsoft account and pin that she did not want and that will certainly subject her to a bunch of advertising and AI in the future.
That works.
To my ear though, “Linux based” leans too much towards the kernel. It makes me want to ask “what do you mean”.
I prefer “Linux distribution” or just Linux distro. If I was asked what that meant, I would simply have to say that Linux is available from different groups each of which curates slightly different collections of software which they “distribute”. Nobody needs to knew what a kernel is to understand that explanation.
I mean, I just say Linux. But when I do feel the need to distinguish, Linux distro and Linux kernel works for me.
If just saying Linux confuses you, just say Linux distro and / or Linux kernel explicitly.
To me, Linux means Linux distro unless further clarification or comedy is given. If you mean the kernel, you should always say so—the Linux kernel.
Non-technical users have no idea what the kernel is and you are not going to talk to them about it. So, when you say Linux they think Linux distro. It is not confusing unless we make it that way.
I would drive across Canada to vote against PP and i have nothing good to say about any of the landlords I have had.
It is a bloody miracle how completely you have convinced me that they are all better people than you.
Somebody mentions children and these are the words you puke out?
Making PP move out would be hilarious. Shitting on kids to get what you want is not.
Can Open Source defend against copyright claims for AI contributions?
If I submit code to ReactOS that was trained on leaked Microsoft Windows code, what are the legal implications?
