A little experimental Linux memes community. We'll see how this works out!

In PowerPoint, you can just select everything, then right-click -> save as image, and it saves whatever you have selected rather than the whole slide. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that in Impress, but I realised you could copy-paste into Gimp and that would copy the objects as an image, so I've been making memes that way.

This is why I always have a ubuntu LTS installer on a USB drive for when everything which brings me joy inevitably crumbles around me.

Why use such an installer and not just a regular Linux install? I dont get that OEM thing

If I’m giving a laptop to someone, then I want them to be able to set their own username and password; while being able to set the correct drivers and stuff up myself.

Interesting, never did that. Why not just install normally and edit afterwards, isnt there a tool to edit name and homefolder simultaneously?

I always name my user "user", saves so much hassle everywhere, bug logs, lockscreen etc. Password can easily be changed

Why would I want someone who isn’t tech savvy to have to use a tool to edit name and password?

If we want people to switch to Linux, one thing we’ll need is easy to use OEMs.

Valid point. I am not sure how Fedora does that

Yes. Mint is the distro I run on my personal laptop.
