This is after this article: https://techrights.org/n/2025/05/04/GNU_Linux_Above_7_in_Bulgaria_Rising_Just_Like_in_Most_of_Europ.shtml

Lots of Linux computers popping up on stat counter.

• Backward compatibility is broken. Be careful.
• Now data uses \0 as a separator between process name and parameters instead of previously used space. It is important and will help to avoid any problems with spaces in paths and process names.
• CLI is slightly changed: -w is for human-readable output, -r for raw, script convenient, format.
• New -c "--clear" parameter for removing process data from a single file or all files in a directory (including subdirectories)
• New -d "--dir" parameter for printing out the short summary for the dir (process name, number of files, total size of those files)
• Some refactoring: mostly translating C to C++.

I am not quite ready to switch to a GNU/Linux yet, but I have live booted Linux Mint Xfce yesterday, with most things working, but much worse for launching times, etc. Would it be any different if I installed it on my eMMC drive? Since they are both based on NAND flash memory, I am clueless about it.

Was surprised no one bothered to post this give how big of a reaction this story got.

Wanted to post the update and correction cause that deserves to be seen just as much. This seems like a reasonable, thoughtful handling of the issue.

I still don't really wanna use Ubuntu though 😅

My wife recently switched over to Mint instead of upgrading to Windows 11, and everything has worked perfectly except for one thing.

The Zoom app for Windows has native iPad integration, making it super easy for her to use her iPad when on a Zoom call, but the Zoom app for Linux doesn't seem to have the same functionality.

Does anyone know of a way (preferably in Zoom, but also out of it if necessary) to easily share her iPad screen over a Zoom call?

UPDATE: So, it's been confirmed that the option to connect an iPad wirelessly to a PC on a Zoom meeting is not available in the Linux version of Zoom, because it's a proprietary function on both Mac and Windows. The option is literally just not there in the Linux Zoom version.

We ended up going with UxPlay, which isn't perfect, but it was better for her purposes than just doing the Zoom call on the iPad.

Note that if UxPlay is laggy, you should start it with the command "uxplay -vsync no" to disable the audio/video syncing function, which apparently makes it behave more like a traditional stream, which is what she needed. And since she was only using it to draw and take notes for the group, she had no need for audio.

Thanks everyone for all of the help. At this point I'm considering the issue solved, though the solution is a bit clunkier and more awkward than we'd like. Still, she's so tired of proprietary BS (even moreso now) and so glad to see her computer actually not acting like it's moving through molasses on bloated, last-legs Windows 10 that I think she's willing to accept a reasonable amount of clunk in Mint with a pretty big smile. :)
