That’s my point. My view is an international law about consent to war would be a good thing. Generally speaking, most countries deserve territorial sovereignty and shouldn’t have someone fucking around with them. I don’t think the “want what the other has” justifies wars. Corporations can do that well enough…

I expect most Palestinians (i.e. not Hamas) would be happy with a one-state solution with equal rights for all regardless of religion or background. Even after all the history and injustice.

Wars should be consensual. If one side doesn’t want war then that should be that. If the other pursues the world should stop ‘em. Kinda like same principle as rape. Like sex is great. Rape not so much.

Ah thanks. So I should research whether LMDE is less resource intensive than the other versions of Mint. Or just go for it.

I was hoping to stick with Mint. Maybe the non Cinnamon ones would run better I was thinking.

Hi, I'm quite new to Linux. I installed Mint Cinnamon recently on a Windows laptop. Impressed.

Question: I have a semi-retired 2010 Mac mini server (two HDDs in it) that is running OCLP and MacOS Monterey. It runs, but it crawls without an SSD. I use it for music playback and occasional web browsing (which is painful). I am wondering if Linux would run better, but would prefer to keep a dual boot with MacOS.

How doable is this? Any opinions on what version of Linux to install?

Specs: 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor 3MB on-chip shared L2 cache 1066MHz frontside bus 8GB of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM Dual 500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA hard disk

Sorry about that, it's some issue with adware in that version of the installer (that doesn't have to be installed). Their forum has a post about this problem. I edited my reply to direct to the "adware free" installer: https://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2

I use EDIT: jdownloader2 for YouTube video/audio. It may be more feature packed, but it’s easy enough once you’re comfortable with the GUI.

I appreciate the explanation about the gold robot.

Now that’s interesting. Always thought it didn’t make a whole lot of sense strictly speaking. Never realized he intended the “a”.
