On that note, considering the original engines are similar I wonder if OpenRCT2 and OpenLoco have any big similarities in the code base as well…

Probably! From the About OpenLoco page:

The OpenLoco project started in early 2018 by the same group of people behind OpenRCT2.

Can you explain? As a Mint user with really old hardware, I appreciate using the LTS kernel. However, I also appreciate them giving users other options.

If you have new hardware, why wouldn’t you use the Edge ISO?

They have a fairly new version called Edge that ships with a newer kernel (currently 6.5).

What packages are broken? I haven’t run into any.

P.S. I think Snaps are now the fuss, so I still think Mint is Ubuntu with the fuss.

I’m generally in the same boat. I don’t think of Mint’s packages as “old”, but “stable”. I’ve had a few cases where I want the latest features, and there are easy ways to get new versions. Dialing down instability isn’t so easy.

this is a notebook with an Intel Core i5-4278U @ 2.60GHz (2 cores, 4 threads) with 8 GB RAM and installing and upgrading on xubuntu 23.10 was already really, painfully slow.

Have you put an SSD in there, or are you still running on spinning rust? In my experience, even a cheap SSD will make a huge difference.

I wouldn’t recommend installing a distro just to install a different DE. IMHO, you should be fine with cinnamon. I’m using Linux Mint 21.3 with cinnamon on an x201 (Thinkpad released in 2010), though I did up the RAM to the 8GB max. However, if you want XFCE, is there a reason you don’t want to use Linux Mint 21.3 with XFCE? If that’s no good for you, I’d recommend finding a distro that fits most of your needs right out of the box, maybe Peppermint Linux or MX Linux?

So, if you don’t have an Apple/Android device (and the app installed), you just can’t use web-banking? That’s pretty crazy!

I think I’d still prefer to use a 3rd-Party TOTP app but at least Steam’s app adds some value by pushing a notification when you login.

Have you heard of StreetComplete on Android?

That’s not modern games, that’s brand new hardware. It’s a good suggestion, but different than what you originally said.

No, your post says

Do you think that 3 times a year is enough (for example, once in January, once in June, and another one in December)

I assume this is just an error and you didn’t mean consecutive months!

I think 3 times a year would be good, but I’d prefer if it was every 4 months instead of after 5 months, then 6 months, then 1 month ;)

Thanks for all your work!

Thanks for the links. As I read it, none of that is saying their ratio is below 1:1, just that they switch between vehicles as needed.

And the “what their operators do” link sounds like they are the equivalent of a driving instructor sitting in the passenger seat, giving instructions but not “directly controlling” the vehicle.

I haven’t heard about Waymo being below 1:1. Do you have a source? I’d love to read it.

That’s the whole point of this post: When? 'Cause it’s not happening now.

AVs don’t have a driver, instead they have 1.5 operations staff per vehicle.

It’s not happening.

I figured, I was looking for the model number so we could see specs, age, etc.

What model? I’m running Linux Mint on a ThinkPad x201 and love it!
