As others have said, not with Linux Mint.

However if you were running an atomic distro such as Aurora, Bazzite, Project Bluefin, or Fedora Silverblue you can “rebase” from one to another.

With an atomic distro all the system files are immutable, you can read them but only the OS can change them. As there’s a clear distinction from user files (anything in /var or /home) the OS can simply replace all the system components with a new distro and re-mount your files.

That’s not semantic versioning…

There are quite a few in !buyeuropean@feddit.uk

You didn’t screw up, you beautifully proved why the CLI is never a simple solution.

OP wants to store all of their porn collection in RAM

Well, the latest development I’ve seen is they’re deleting (censoring) comments calling out the political bias of their CEO on their post about how they’re fighting against censorship:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1ij4qn9/behind_the_scenes_of_proton_vpns_fight_against/

Here’s an evidenced account of part of what their CEO asserted:

This is what the CEO posting as u/Proton_Team stated in a response on r/ProtonMail:

Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot:

Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation.

Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.

At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.

By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand.

Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost.

Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

To call out the important bits:

1. He refers to it as the “official response”
2. Indicates that JD Vance is on their side just because he attended an event that other invited senators didn’t
3. Rattles on about “corporate Dems” with incredible bias
4. States “Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses” which is immediately refuted by every response

That was posted in ther/ProtonMail sub where the majority of the event took place: https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i1zjgn/so_that_happened/m7ahrlm/

However be aware that the CEO posting as u/Proton_Team kept editing his comments so I wouldn’t trust the current state of it. Plus the proton team/subreddit mods deleted a ton of discussion they didn’t like. Therefore this archive link captured the day after might show more but not all: https://web.archive.org/web/20250116060727/https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i1zjgn/so_that_happened/m7ahrlm/

Some statements were made on Mastodon but these are subsequently deleted, but they’re capture by an archive link: https://web.archive.org/web/20250115165213/https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

I learned about it from an r/privacy thread but true to their reputation the mods there also went on a deletion spree and removed the entire post: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1i210jg/protonmail_supporting_the_party_that_killed/

This archive link might show more but I’ve not checked: https://web.archive.org/web/20250115193443/https://old.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1i210jg/protonmail_supporting_the_party_that_killed/

There’s also this lemmy discussion from the day after but by that point the Proton team had fully kicked in their censorship so I don’t know how much people were aware of (apologies I don’t know how to make a generic lemmy link) https://feddit.uk/post/22741653

Can you share more info about it? Why did you choose it, any pros or cons? It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.

How apt, just yesterday I put together an evidenced summary of the CEOs recent absurd comments. Why are Proton so keen to throw away so much good will people had invested in them?!

the republican party is now the party of the people and most likely to crack down on big tech

yes🤡

Why do you think that?

Praising the pick wasn’t so bad. The issues really arose when he was called out on it and chose to use Proton’s official accounts to affirm his view and went on to state:

• the republican party is now the party of the people and most likely to crack down on big tech
• The democrats have effectively betrayed their voters in favour of corporate donations
• This was Proton’s official stance

It was insane boot licking and incredibly poorly thought through. It’s fine for him to have an opinion but completely inappropriate to use their official accounts to spew such drivel and to state it was the official stance should have resulted in him being fired for damaging their reputation.

edit: I was asked to provide sources so please find them here: https://feddit.uk/post/23386970/14888441

I don’t think you even need to configure the email.

If I recall correctly emails are optional for Let’s Encrypt but Caddy are partnered with ZeroSSL who do require emails so you’re encouraged to provide one.

Give AirVPN a chance. The website looks terrible but it’s a great service and port forwarding is far simpler than Proton’s weird solution

It was far more then one complement. After the drama stirred the CEO started posting a bunch of official statements justifying his words in the reddit thread. Then kept editing and rewording them in response to the negative feedback. It was entirely unnecessary

Somebody had posted the link elsewhere in this thread. I’d been mistakenly searching u/ProtonSupportTeam for the offending comments rather than u/ProtonTeam

https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i1zjgn/comment/m7ahrlm

Here’s the r/privacy thread which summarised all the drama, including pointing out all the comments Proton mods were deleting and censoring in their own sub. Then true to form the r/privacy mods deleted the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1i210jg/protonmail_supporting_the_party_that_killed/

Does anyone have links to the dumpster fire of a reddit thread in one or the Proton subs? There was also one of r/privacy but I can’t find either so suspect they’ve been deleted to try to quell the flames.

It was very entertaining drama

Wouldn’t that just be a time based notification rather then dependent on any privacy invading metrics?

Indeed, that’s why I use the AGPL license. Corporations hate it because it forces them to give back.

That’s actually pretty reasonable. I’d be happy to make my open source projects compliant for a company - but they can damn well pay me for the effort.

What a terribly written article. I got half way through and just gave up.

This thread might be the fastest I’ve ever seen discussion devolve from “that could be interesting” to just incomprehensible screaming.
