And plugging highly suspicious USB drive into it...
Reminds me, back in like, 2007, Nine Inch Nails did a promotion for their new album where they left "mystery" USB drives with media from the "future", themed from album, in public areas at their shows. People couldn't wait to find them and jam them into their computers to piece the story all together.
The next album is gonna be about, trojans, viruses, worms, RATS (not the one with the rubber room)
And a 40minute PSA from your IT admin telling you DONT PLUG RANDOM STUFF INTO YOUR COMPUTER!!
Once some guy on the street gave me a dvd. I stuck it into my computer and it was a documentary about how nfc payment microchips in the hand are the mark of the beast. Freaked me out.

You take the green USB, it's Ventoy.
You click the wrong option in the list, and suddenly it's GParted.
Ah, shit, TempleOS.
Yes, I have TempleOS on my drive, why not, it's just a few MB.

Why are both of the USB drives red?
Because choice is an illusion.
Both are Linux.
People that chose the "red" drive ... Once you install Ubuntu a mysterious shaman will once again introduce you to the red and blue choice, ... well, I mean, not exactly, it will be just a giant bag of mixed ~~pills~~ drives for different distros and the ominous warning be like "you only really need to take one, but there is no actual limit".
*You stay in Wayland.
I cannot even download Windows 11 ISO on my network, I am (my ISP is) blocked by Microsoft. So, problem solved, it's just red USB.
How did that happen?
Microsoft blocks people from downloading stuff all the time for unknowable reasons. You have to either reset your IP or go through customer support to fix it. I did the latter and they did not tell me why I was blocked in the first place.

Until you find out about snap
Linux Mint: The Better Ubuntu (tm)
I found that Pop!_OS (another Ubuntu fork) worked better with Nvidia crap out of the box. They both seem pretty good.
Would that be better for my system with a 4090 than Ubuntu? I've got Nvidia drivers installed now, but perhaps switching would be more of a pain.
I've never used Ubuntu and I don't have a 4090, so I am wholly unqualified to answer that question. My comparison was between Mint and Pop. That being said, Canonical has had its more than fair share of controversies in the past, so you'd probably want to avoid them if it's convenient to do so, all else being equal.

“What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with your computer. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”
How come with bsd it's more of a dig your own hole sort of adventure?
