i‘m glad you learned about how to switch tty!
now this is a very rare situation, but if you log into your computer, then switch to some tty, log in there too, do things, lock it, and leave the computer, the other tty is still unlocked because you need to lock both the tty you logged into.
i know this is a super rare/ hypothetical situation, but i think you should know.
i’ve had the same situation with university students
yeah i also think that if people get their things to run, they probably learned something in the process
having used a variety of distros, i can recommend linux mint. ubuntu used to put a lot of effort into keeping debian based distros very modern before it fell off and became something i really don’t like, and now mint has taken its place. mint takes from ubuntu what is an improvement/ modernisation over debian and strips out all the crap. mint therefore is a major, if not the driving, force that maintains modern snaps (with debian maintaining very very stable ones)
so, mint is cool :D
i very much agree for graphical programs, though i feel like cli tools should partially be an exception. i don’t really want my tmux to be a flatpak i think 😅
this! and whilst i don’t know the hardware support for new framework models on mint, i recon it’s pretty good.
im currently baking this into our hpc. people gotta see the train!
god at first i saw only the first line cuz the second was cut off. the relief i felt upon scrolling XD
